Thrifty Treasures From the Beach
Most people don’t think about thrifting when they are at the beach, but a thrifting we did go last Saturday afternoon. The OBX has quite a few thrift stores and like any place, it is hit or miss to find a treasure.
I found three things that I really liked. The large Pyrex bowl was $3.00. the smaller Pyrex bowl with the glass lid was $2.00, and the mushroom bowl was $.50.
I can see the large bowl full of potato salad for a picnic and I know that I’ll use the smaller bowl for transporting dips for post tennis parties and for storing leftovers at home. I have an idea for decorating with the mushroom bowl, I just haven’t taken time to execute my plan. I love the 1970’s design of all three pieces.
I’ll have to admit that I had a bit of a shopping high after discovering these treasures for such a small amount of money!
Visit Rhoda at Southern Hospitality for her weekly Thrifty Treasures Party for more fabulous thrifty finds.
Oh my gosh! You’d have a fabulous time in my kitchen cabinets! 😉 xoxo
Paula, that’s awesome! I no longer use Tupperware at all (except for the super large ones if I have to make a pasta salad for 20!)- I only use glass and Pyrex. You scored some great deals!

The pattern on the Pyrex dishes looks familiar. You did a great thrifty job, Paula!

Good prices!! I love Pyrex. 🙂
I’m a sucker for the old pyrex too! I love that it’s so useful and not just for display. I’m sure you’ll get plenty of use from those pieces. 🙂
Great buys! I bought a smaller one like you have but no top came with it…I am still on the lookout for a top to match it. I am loving all the older pyrex and getting into milk glass along the way too.
Great finds – love Pyrex!
I love your dishes. You did a great job in finding them. I would use them as well.
Gotta love the Pyrex!
