This past week I’ve found several super deals at the local Goodwill. I’ve been restraining myself as far as dishes are concerned because I’m getting too many but I just couldn’t pass these up!
I found 8 dinner plates, 8 salad plates, and 8 soup bowls of Mikasa Garden Club Day Dream! This pattern was produced between 1986-1990. I love the beautiful blue of the flowers with the brown trim of the dish.
But wait, there’s more!
I also found a few days earlier, a complete 45 piece set of Reed and Barton Everyday Stainless in the Gatehouse pattern! They were all in a zip loc bag but looked brand new!
Now, drum roll please! The dishes were 59 cents each, which came to $14.16!!! for a set of Mikasa! The flatware was 4/$1, which came to $11.25! The flatware averages about $100 for the set new.
I’m very pleased with my thrifty finds this week. Even though, I told myself no more dishes, I couldn’t help thinking “but their Mikasa”! They just had to come home with me.
Thanks for stopping by!

ReplyDeleteThat was great luck, I have a terrible weakness for china and always have to restrain myself. I don't think I could have walked away without that flatware though, it's beautiful.
