    Talking $89.95 Braetan Coat: $25

    I just found what appears to be a brand new Braetan Hooded Anorak coat, regularly $89.95, for $25 at my local Humane Society thrift store!

    My daughter, who's twenty, has been needing a new winter coat and I happened to spot it. While she was trying it on, another lady came over and suddenly started to tell my daughter that it didn't fit right, that I could get a better coat for the same price at Wal-Mart, etc. I thanked her for her interest but told her in no uncertain terms that since the coat did indeed fit my daughter, we were going to take it. As for the price, every penny of the coat went to help the shelter animals and that was fine with me.

    After we got the coat home and gave it a much better look over, we found an identical one online for $89.95! Ours appears to have never been worn, in perfect condition. Both my daughter and I agree that lady knew a good bargain too when she saw it and just wanted us to put the coat back so she could get it!
