momofkhm Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 I was at goodwill yesterday with both dds. I just let everyone go theri own way and look at whatever they want. Middle dd was looking for denim shorts. Older dd was looking for a church skirt. I was looking for a knee length denim skirt. No one found what we went there for, but I Found an awesome bargain! A Lord and Taylor sweater. The girls don't like it, but it's so me! For those who have never been into Lord and Taylor, let me tell you a story. We had one. I went in there like once and discovered the prices were way to high! But then it went out of business. At 80% off, I went into the store with my mother. At 80% she still wouldn't pay for an outfit for her sister. Each piece must have still been over $40-50. At 80% off! So back to my sweater. I don't know how much it was originally, but I paid a scant $4.50! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ottakee Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 Thrift stores require a bit of digging but they can be gold minds. When my 12dd was a baby I found a crib tent NEW, in the box for $1 at Salvation Army. The price tag on it was $99.99. Our local thrift store as almost all clothing for $1 with 1/2 price sales on 1 type each month. This month it is shorts and swimsuits that are 1/2 off. I picked up several brand new looking Speedo swimsuits for the girls to wear next year. For nice, dressier clothes, I will go to Goodwill and pay $4.99 or so for an item but for our barn clothes we still with Love, Inc. and their 50 cent -$1 stuff.

pqr Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 Books, books and more books. We have found literally hundreds of books, most for 99 cents or less. Frequently one can find bags of office supplies for very little money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cin Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 Most of my wardrobe over the past year has come from goodwill. I've been losing weight and cannot afford to buy new jeans every couple of months. I hit them every other Friday when they are half price and have gotten some GREAT, STYLISH jeans for $3.50. And they look new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
