It seems like some of the Goodwill stores here have better items than our last place. Three stores in the area have a lot of nice dress clothes and coats for $20 or less. We went to look for a new winter coat for me and while I didn’t see my size; I saw alot of styles I liked. The cost for Ralph Lauren trenchcoat? $12. I’ll keep checking for something my size in the upcoming weeks.

I also found out that Target donates to the one downtown and they have a really good selection of bedding and curtain items. I saw some tan energy saving curtains for $10.  It’s a cheap way to lower your elecric bill and decorate your place.
