I Didn't NEED It BUT

[marvholly]

It was just too GREAT a bargain to pass up.

Stopped in Salvation Army 5/3 - semi-looking for dresses for a wedding (next weekend) and a yard party (Aug).  It was white tag week and on Sat all items of the weekly color are on EXTRA special closeout for $0.69.

Tripped over a medium weight robe with a white tag.  Got it home & noticed it had most likely NEVER been worn or washed.  The mfg tag, size & care tage & pocket liner were pristine.  The zipper was perfect.

SCORE!!!

Wow. I wish I could find deals like that.
Congrats.

Peace
Did not find a dress BUT I do have 4 in my closet I could easily wear (w/shoes & bags on hand) – one dating back to when the cousin’s mom got married in 1979. Also, the summer event is not until the end of Aug.

YEAH!!  And great score on the robe.  That's the way to do it.

A couple of years ago I discovered by accident that the Goodwill has great print t-shirts for under $1.50.  I pop in there every couple of months to see if I can pick up one or two since my summer "uniform" these days tends to be jeans, a t-shirt, and tennies.  A lot of the ones that I find have never been worn and seem to be leftovers that were donated after a charity event or a marathon, etc.

i have not had good luck finding stuff at wither of the Goodwill stores I can hit.  Both are quite a drive.  One I do try to hit every 4-6 weeks, the other 1x/year when I go to a friend's.  Both are in good neighborhoods so I really expected better.  Beginning to believe it is not worth the time and gas.

Ya, I don't think I'd drive out of my way to go to one because the price of gas would eat up any savings you might get.  Mine is less than a mile from our home so I just hit it on my way to or back from other errands.  It has also become my go-to place to get tubular hangers on the cheap:  $4.99 at Home Goods for (10-12); $1.59 at the Goodwill for (12).
