Goodwill Shopping

I had to clean out my closet and get rid of massive amounts of clothes that were too big!  Woopee!   Then I closet shopped..(for those who don't know what that is, it is wearing clothes that are in your closet, but you couldn't wear them before surgery because they were to small , but now you can).   

After wearing all the clothes that I couldn't wear before, I found that I had no dress pants to wear.  It was time for desprate measures.    I finally went to the Goodwill.  I AM HOOKED!  I bought 3 pairs of pants and one pair of shorts for $18.00.  Since I'm not going to be able to wear these much longer either, it makes good economic sense to get your bargins where you can.   

I don't have a problem wearing someone else's clothes. Some people do.  These pants were  2 sizes down from the ones I was wearing prior to surgery.  What a wonderful day!   I'm sure there will be more days like this....but I can tell you it was great FUN! 

Any more bargin suggestions out there? 

I LOVE Goodwill, I have always shopped there for Connor cause he grows out of his clothes so fast, it just was good economical sense to shop there.  And I now do the same thing, the other day, I too was out of everything, even after closet shopping.   I got several mix and match outfits for work for less than $30!!!!   I made sure the pants all had drawstrings too, so they will do for a while!

Another thing I'm looking forward to is yardsales!!!!   I watch the paper and plot a course, for the "better" neighborhoods.  Again something I used to do for Connor's clothes, and now I'm thinking I might be able to find some too!!

There is also consignment shops in our town, but I"m only down to a 22, so I've not had any luck in there, but I'm hoping when I get down a bit more, I might be able to find somethings in there?  I am needing some Sunday clothes, that is the one thing I didn't find at Goodwill, right now I wear the same three jumpers on Sunday.  Jumpers work lovely, but I am looking for a change!

Good luck with your shopping and isn't it fun!!

Wednesdays and Sundays besides the 1/2 off color there will be another color tag that is .99!  I go to some of the other thrift stores and once in a while will find a piece or two I like but the deals are never as good as Goodwill.

I really can't bring myself to shop in real stores (pay $20 to $50 for a pair of pants, I don't thinks so) especially when in a few weeks the clothes won't fit me.

i had a Goodwill experience this weekend...I've always loved loved loved New York and Company clothes but could never wear them....well, i got a pair of the NY and CO. black pants on Saturday that fit me perfectly and they were a $1....that was a sign I also got a liz claiborne top for work for a $1
