Goodwill Finds

Yesterday I stopped by Goodwill for a little bit during the day because I wanted to see if they had any t-shirts in good condition. Josh is going to 4-H camp and I didn't want to spend retail on shirts that he'll likely destroy during a week at camp or during the summer. Just last week while working on his "fort", he ruined three t-shirts, a pair of sweat pants and two pair of shorts by getting paint all over them. I didn't know this until I started to do laundry. We've since had some rules about painting wearing good clothes. Now, he can paint wearing already ruined by paint clothes.

Anyway, I digress. I went in and browsed through all the t-shirts and came away with 9 for Josh and 2 for Kevin. I racked up with a Nike tee, two UK tees (one still had the tags on it), a Polo/Ralph Lauren tee, an Abercrombie, an American Eagle, an Eddie Bauer, two Titans and a baseball and skateboarding tee. All of them looked hardly worn. They were originally $2.49 each, but with my Smart Card discount, I got 11 shirts for $20. I couldn't have bought the American Eagle tee for that.

I also found a pair of Liz Claiborne shoes for me, still with the plastic inserts and paper in the toes (aka - NEW) for $5.99. With my discount, I got them for $4.79.

I was pleased with my deals!!

If I'd had more time, I would have browsed more, but, I had to work.

Yep I love Goodwill. I always go there when the kids need clothing for a costume and walk out with REAL clothes for our family as well! Sounds like you found some great things!

oh and I wanted to add that at the one near ours after the transaction the checkout person always say "thanks for helping our mission" and that feels SO nice! :)
