Last night my wife and I had a rare date night.
We had dinner, went to a movie, and…. felt up a bunch of mannequins’ butts and boobs. LOL!Our local Elder Beerman is going out of business and they are getting down to the brass tacks. We checked it out before our movie started and noticed their decent selection of mannequins in the back. We ended up picking up a new female torso, a child torso, and a hanging female bottom half. These are all high end heavy mannequins – $100 out the door for all three.
They had full body mannequins as well as torsos with arms, but after handling them we both felt like they’d be a pain to dress and undress.
The hanging bottom one is awesome. I’ll snap a photo tonight if I have time. I haven’t seen one like it before. Perfect for jeans because you can just slip the jeans on and off and rotate the mannequin 360 degrees in place for photos.

Awesome score… and great start to the story! 😀
Wish I could get a hanging bottom.

This is the style of mannequin – but not exactly the same as mine.

My wife and I have our weekly cheap date night.
1. we go to a fast food place with a coupon, try to keep it $10 or less…we bring the food in the warmer months to local parks/beaches to eat at a picnic table. Usually bring our own drinks from home.
2. go to a Goodwill store in the parking lot of our discount grocery store
3. go get our groceries at the discount grocery store
4. SPLURGE on a Dairy Queen cone at full retail price…I will even go crazy and get a sundae if I found something good at the thrift store…We were trying to remember the last time we went to a restaurant with a server/waiter/waitress this weekend – the closest we could think of was almost 3 years ago!
We just spent a extra-long 4 day weekend travelling the area together for our summer vacation. Except for Sunday when most thrift stores were closed, we spent 8-10 hours a day going scavenging at stores, garage sales, antique markets, flea markets, etc. for the entire vacation. The only time we were not scavenging we were looking at various towns/villages that are much cheaper than where we currently live to start researching where our next move is. We had a complete blast all weekend, have my first super death pile, and made lots of positive plans for our future – all while making an effort to make some good money 🙂

Since my wife has been taking pictures, the sickness has definitely started growing. Week before last we were walking at the mall and she said she had started looking at peoples shoes, wondering what she could sell them for.
Muahahahaha! I am converting her to a full blown trash elf. -
My husband and I took Monday off from work, but ended up hitting up 3 thrift stores in the afternoon anyway. We bought so much stuff at the last thrift store that we had to buy a large rolling suitcase to haul it all back in via public transportation. We hadn’t even brought backpacks with us, because we were expecting to do absolutely no work at all. Hah. So much for a day off. 😉

Our dates almost always consist of scavenging. And we too have purchased a scavenged mannequin on a date! It’s vintage and weird. So if we ever stop selling close we could sell the mannequin for a profit. It was a great score, but it did feel weird driving around town with a naked torso in your vehicle!!
