Goodwill Rocks!

I don't remember the first person who suggested that we try Goodwill when we were losing weight at first since it would be more economical while changing sizes so rapidly, but i am so pumped about todays finds. 

5 tops for 14 bucks.  WHAT A DEAL.    I don't think any of them have even been worn.  I've gone from 3x to XL.  
Life is Good and Goodwill Rocks! 

I bought 3 pairs of jeans and a top this week (.99/each). They are all too small but I figure I will lose down to them eventually. Since I don't even have a surgery date yet.

They gave me a flyer that shows which days are .99 days for the color of the week (Sundays & Wednesdays for mine location). I can't wait to go tomorrow to see what .99 deals I can find.

I agree, Goodwill Rocks!

Wow!  99 cent day!   Can it get any better than that? 

Now keep in mind, everything is 1/2 price the first Saturday of the month.  The bad part of that is you have to fight off Melinda for the bargains!

I'll pay for that one later! LOL!

Hey now!  I don't go to Goodwill much anymore after my brother, who is now an exterminator, told me horror stories about bed bugs!  And, that they can be brought home from Goodwill!  Yuck! So I am very cautious PLUS I dont like standing in the lines anymore.  I'm trying to weed out my closet, and just got rid of a bunch to a lady my mom works with... 

So no Goodwill visits for me in the real near future!  I am TRYING real hard to stop my "extremes" as I discussed in the post the other day, and be more of a balanced person...  and as a result, I am very low on protein bars...  because the "extremes" affect that area too!

Oh, and I am going to a ladies retreat next Friday night. I am VERY nervous because I dont like going away from home. I will probably pack 10 bags to take. And, that's just protein! Not my c lothes!

OK Mel.  I am itching already!  I checked my clothes......no strange animals crawling on them so I put them in the wash...BEFORE they could crawl out of the bag........HOT WATER.....and took a bath...Now I feel good again.

Goodwill still rocks!  (LOL) 

lol. Cathy you would have to know my brother to appreciate the bed bug story! He is a real character.  He can have you laughing hysterically and yet he never cracks a smile, which makes it even more funny.  But when he is serious, HE IS SERIOUS and likes to really "get your goat" so to speak.  So he started telling me this horror story of a person's house he sprayed...  and then I got to itching JUST BY LISTENING TO IT!  Gross! LOL.  So now the big joke is that if I go to Goodwill, I will get bedbugs. 

but then again, I've shopped at Goodwill for about 3 yrs now, and unless I dont know what a bed bug is, I have never seen one or heard one or felt one...  so I guess that's saying something! lol

cathy, ENJOY your finds!  They are great ones.  Though, they won't be fitting you too long before you have to get another SMALLER size!!! 

I have gone to Goodwill since the day I started loosing weight and I love it,  I would not go anywhere else now. I go on Wednesday's when it is .99 day and only look at that color ticket and I come away with some great deals. I usually go to the one in Madison then go to the one in Rivergate and if I am really into shopping I go to the one in Hendersonville.

I have probably cleaned my closet out about 6 or 7 times since my WLS and almost everything I have comes from Goodwill. Why not?? Everyone at work kids me that they would love to have my clothing allowance, if they only knew!!

I am from West Tennessee.  I go to the Big store on Hwy 64 in Memphis.   I'll have to call to ask if they have a special day.  I thought the specials I was already getting were great.  I can't imagine what fun I'd have on 99 cent day!  

I think I've gone through 10 sizes since my weight loss.  I have to give kudos to all those who passed down cloths, some good consignments stores and once I discovered Goodwill have found some fantastic bargins - barely used designer name brand.  I've been amazed what I have found there.

For the record, I take my "finds" to the 1.75 cleaners to get them a once through.
