I made it to the Goodwill today. I had [2] things on my list this time.
- A long sleeve bright green shirt to wear underneath my HAPPY school shirt.
- A couple of skirts to wear on my upcoming missions trip.
Check out my buys!
- 4 [spring-colored] shirts, including the desired long sleeved, bright green one (the top shirt is my favorite out of these new-to-me's)
- 1 white tank top (to wear as an undershirt)
- 1 pair of jeans
- 1 pair of jean capris (which I've been wanting for quite awhile but have never found any my size/style)
- 2 skirts (one long jean skirt, one to-the-knees gray cotton skirt)
All this for just under $20. Isn't that great?
As a teacher, I have a weakness for children's books. I found several at both Goodwill stores I went to this afternoon. I could have bought many more than I actually left the stores with. 16 books for almost $16. Sounds good to me! Not as good a deal as buying them at a garage sale, but way better deal than buying them full price or slightly discounted online!
When I saw Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, Where the Wild Things Are, and Bedtime for Frances my heart melted. I l-o-v-e finding books I remember reading when I was little!
My last little thought about my shopping adventure today...
The difference in cleanliness/tidiness between the two stores I went to today was so amazing to me [but not surprising, I suppose]. The first one I went to, where I bought most of my merchandise, was very inviting. The checkout lady was so, so friendly. The dressing rooms were clean. The second one I went to was too full. It's a smaller store, so the racks were too packed with clothes. The smaller space made moving around people too difficult. The dressing 'stalls' were too messy (tags, clothes, and hangers everywhere). I felt the need to tidy up as much as possible before leaving the stalls. Not surprisingly, the first store was in a better neighborhood than the second one.
