Beg Borrow, or Thrift Tuesday -- Introducing VarageSale in Austin
My readers know I love, Love, LOVE thrifting. When it comes to fashion, I have champagne taste on a box wine budget. (My mom used to say beer bottle budget but I drink wine more than beer.) I hit clearance sales, resale shops, and garage sales to fulfill my over-budget posh desires. Therefore, I am always excited to find new ways to make thrifting easier and more fun.

Enter VarageSale. VarageSale is a completely free tool to buy and sell items locally with trusted sources.

In other words, I will know who I am meeting. Sweet!I am very, Very, VERY happy to announce that VarageSale is coming to Austin!
I joined up without hesitation. A few days later, I got an acceptance notice via FaceBook. Woot! Woot! And so, without further ado, I posted my first item:
