- 2 shirts for my husband
- game "Guess Who" for kids
- Canada Map Puzzle for the kids
- Novel for the kids (Junie B Jones)

Great job!
I love the goodwill/Salvation Army stores but the closest one to me is 30 min away.
so I don't get to go there very often.

I LOVE Sally's, I try to hit them on the days where one color tag is $1 no matter what the item, or every color except the newest tags are 50% off. Recent deals- Down filled Gap coat for winter for my 2 yo for $3.50, a Gymboree dress (like new) for .75, and 2 pairs of capris in my post-new-baby-size for $1 each.

I went to Goodwill to get a pair of jeans for work. I refuse to pay full price for jeans that will end up greasy and dirty. I bought...
1 pair of almost new painter pants
1 really cute striped blouse, I'm so sick of only having t-shirts to wear
1 black pull over dress shirt
1 small shelf to hang on side of kitchen cabinet for our meds
1 small basket to hang on other kitchen cabinet for our spare keys
total-$18.63
I can't even get a pair of jeans at WM for that.

I went to salvation army and got 3 Brooks Brothers dress shirts for 12 bucks. Great deal considering they are expensive shirts.
