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.

Goodwill in our area doesn’t usually have that much that’s worth buying. We usually have a hard time finding even pajamas for my daughter, let alone clothes for the two of us… Thanks for the mention!

Thanks for the mention! It’s been a while since I checked out our local Goodwill store, but you have provided a good reminder that I should look there for a new coat this season.

@ Cave man Yeah, our last city only had one Goodwill store with some good finds, but it was on the other side of town.
