Christmas Morning at Goodwill

Most of you who know me, or follow my Facebook status updates (which I do a lot of), know that I LOVE a good bargain.  I hate paying full price for anything, whether it is a pair of socks or a new couch.  I am always on a quest for a good deal.  Don't get me wrong, I "will" pay full price for something if I have to...but if you wait around, almost everything eventually goes on sale.  


I must admit, I have dropped a lot of donations off at Goodwill before, and have browsed through a couple of times, but have never actually shopped there.  Until this past weekend, that is.  I went to Goodwill on a quest to find some stuff for my Halloween costume, but left with so much more!  My first row of clothing I went down was the kids jeans.  Oh my gracious - the excitement I felt as I found Leah a couple pairs of really cute jeans.  My friend, Lisa, had been having such great luck at the Goodwill in Stanford, and I am now proud to say that I had good luck at our Richmond Goodwill!  I ended up with 4 pairs of jeans for the kids, 2 pairs for myself, a hooded Kentucky sweatshirt (HOLLA), an EKU tshirt for Leah, and a shirt for Brad.   $14 and some change...for all THAT???!!!  It was like Christmas morning for me.  


There's no doubt, I am going to start frequenting the Goodwill more often...it took me awhile to look through the racks, but what I spent in time, I made up for in purchases!  So I want to say to all of you rich folks who drop the Limited Too jeans off that I bought for my daughter, thank you, and keep up the good work!  Goodwill - you better hold onto your donated britches cause you have a new shopper that you will be seeing a lot of in the future!!!
