    Smile Perfect skirt for Little Miss -right in side the door.

    Little Miss was in need of Dresses and/or skirts as her closet was pretty much outgrown ( and handed down). Very bare in there.

    We generally have a hard time finding long flowing skirts ( that "twirl") that Little Miss prefers, at least ones that don't cost a bunch.

    So we had them to the keep and eye out list.

    We walk into the Goodwill. Little Miss loves to check out the outfits they have put together for display. She falls in live with a skirt. It does look like her, but they are normally adult size clothing on display. sigh

    She decided to check just to make sure and it was her size !
    It fit her perfectly and passed the "twirl" test.
    Super Big Smile she just radiated excitement

    Price $1.79

    we also splurged on a Boxcar children book .89 cents

    Creation of Savy shoppers,

    Right after visiting the Goodwill we headed to the grocery store next door to buy cereal half off plus use some cereal coupons.

    At dinner I was trying to tell Hubby about the great cereal deals we got today.
    I started out with "Guess what we got at the grocery store today?"
    Little Miss jumped in to tell Daddy the answer. She said with a huge smile "We got Lessons"

    Your post brought back memories of my daughter Michelle giving her dresses and skirts the "twirl test"...lol I'm so glad it fit her, and tell her "good find" on her little book too! That's what I'd call a great little shopper. Taught her well, mom!
