Wandered into Goodwill
I had some extra time before a meeting & didn't want to sit in a restautant alone so I went into Goodwill. It was 50% off select items. I didn't expect to buy anything but I did find pants since I am either gaining weight or shrinking my clothes..
1 pair jeans
2 capris
1 NEW dress
3 tops
for $28.44
I was thrilled!!
Especially since I did shop labels

Just taking life one day at a time, trying to enjoy every minute of it with those I care about.

I swear, with a little planning as to 'special' items one might need, like holiday dress up or such, there is NO need to shop retail for anything save undies!

Good job. Don't forget to try Salvation Army too. Friday is 5/5.00 day of any clothing that bears the "color of the day". They also have senior day,student day-25% off,early bird specials,manger specials, and occasional auction days. Goodwill recieves new items form target and salvation form Walmart if there is one near the store. On 5/5.00 days if you can't find five items of clothing it is cheaper to pick up anything clothing w/ that tag and redonate it. Have fun. Don't get addicted like me.
All store are different as far as specials go. Three salvation armies in the same area may have different specials because of overabundance of an item. Get to know the staff.

WTG!
I LOVE Goodwill for label shopping! Salvation Army has good deals here (99 cent days & all) but never has the labels that Goodwill does. I do both, but don't mind spending a little more for a good label at Goodwill!
