So today, we went to Goodwill to start getting some fall weather clothing. Here's what we got:
1 pair of boots
1 heavy jacket
2 light jackets
6 pairs of pants
1 pair of jeans
2 skirts
10 sweaters
7 long-sleeved shirts
For a total of 30 items. Any guess on the total price?
2 @ 8.99 and 1 @ 6.99
 |
| Calvin Klein jeans, Target jacket for Robert, Mystery boots for Robert |
5 @ 5.99
 |
| Beige Kenneth Cole pants for Robert, grey Eddie Bauer wool pants, striped Target wool sweater, black Ann Taylor pants, grey J Crew wool sweater |
6 @ 4.99
 |
| Strange stretchy/fleecy black Studio Works pants, brown Casual Corner pants, brown quilted jacket, grey Point Zero skirt, grey Charter Club cashmere hoodie, black Sanskriti tunic |
And perhaps the coolest thing about this Goodwill store? Tuesday is 1.49 day for items with a particular color of tag.
16 @ 1.49
 |
| Red Vanity Nordic Gear sweater, green Eddie Bauer sweater, fuschia St Johns Bay sweater, salmon Eddie Bauer cardigan, blue Express sweater, burgundy Liz Claiborne sweater, green Mod-O-Doc cardigan, blue Target fleece |

| Red Target shirt, black striped Worthington shirt, red Style Co tunic, blue American Eagle shirt, plaid TDK pants (men's but they fit me), brown Apt 9 skirt, black Ann Taylor shirt, green Lands End shirt |
Plus, I purchased a pad of unlined recycled paper for $1.
With tax, it was under $110 (e.g., the cost of two new items from Ann Taylor).
There are still some expensive items we'll need to purchase for when it gets seriously cold -- the guy who checked us out said that it gets cold enough to freeze gasoline so you always want to make sure you don't have just a couple gallons in the tank -- but this should help get me through the first couple months of school.

I am so envious! Our Goodwill store doesn't have nearly so many nice things at one time.
When we visit you, your Goodwill store is on the priority list!
This Goodwill seems like a nice one - it's big and is in a pretty upscale area (95% white, median family income $90K, only 1% below the poverty line according to Wikipedia). Because I had so few things, it was a no-brainer to get all the good items I found. When one already has 3 grey sweaters, deciding whether to buy a fourth even at a good price is harder.
You really got some amazing bargains! "Operation cheap ass" is alive & well in Minnesota.
Rick is interested to see how you will like Snow City once winter comes.
