    Default Goodwill Score

    I went to Goodwill at the beginning of the week and SCORED yet again.

    I got:
    1 pair Adidas running pants for my dh (He wanted to buy them at Khols for $40 and I begged him not to pay that much for pants he was just going to sweat in)
    1 pair grey no name running pants for me
    5 Nike shirts size 6 for my son next fall/winter
    5 Osh Kosh Shirts size 6 for my son next fall/winter
    1 DKNY Wool Sweater for me
    1 Ralph Lauren Wool Sweater for me

    $19.98 for all of it Woot Woot!

    We are debt free besides our house payment!!!

    Thats a good trip. Our goodwill is high. Most nice tops and bottoms are $6.99 each and they never have sales anymore.

    Our Goodwill has weird pricing. Some things are a great deal, other things are way too high. I think the Nike shirts were 1.29 each but a row over they were asking 39.99 for a twin comforter (no thanks lol).

    Great buys and way to shop!!

    Our Value village is the on that has weird pricing. Some of their stuff is higher priced than new! The material is just stupid pricing but patterns and zippers are 69 cents.

    I like Salvation Army and we have one called Classy Rack. that is where I find most things.

    Good shopping day at the Goodwill.

    Ours has "weird" pricing too.

    The manager told me if something is a better brand they price it higher based on a going rate.

    They had a Kathy Van Zeeland purse ( they put it in the glass case) they priced that $30. It was sold with in the day.

    They also had some Dansko shoes in the box they priced those at $30.

    I heard her tell the man that worked for her that the Seiko watch should have been priced higher then the other watches.

    Great deals!! Our Goodwill has crazy pricing, too. What is so funny to me is that they have some high-end or designer things marked way up, then they will have Walmart or Target (not the new stuff) in with the designer stuff at the same high price. Then one day I found a Vera Bradley bag in with the diaper bags for $2. They apparantly didn't know it was a designer item. (I sure didn't tell them, either!) I found a brand new pair of Kenzie shoes for me there recently for $3. I had been eyeing the same pair in Dillard's and they were $80. That was another thing I grabbed and didn't tell them the retail price! I figure they don't need to know or they will start marking the prices up on those items, too.
