What a Deal

My friend Gayle posted awhile back about going to a Goodwill Outlet where you pay for the clothing by the pound. I asked for the address and my sister-in-law and I headed down there.
We had an absolute ball!!! If you are a bargain hunter and love garage sales, flee markets, and thrift stores then you need to find one of these babies.
My girls were in desperate need of clothes and the budget right now just can't take a whole new wardrobe. My oldest had only 1 pair of pants. How sad is this!!
I took measurements, made a list, checked it twice, and off we went.
We were in bargain heaven!! I am not a brand name shopper (too small budget), but I am all for it at these prices.
The clothing I purchased was new or in like new condition.
I purchased 64 pound of goods and it came to $48.16
Here are some of the name brands I found along with a list (and pics)of the items.
Enjoy!!
Danskin, Calvin Klein, Roxy, The Childrens Place, Nike, Keds, Bobby Jack, New Balance, Hello Kitty, and more.
2 Magazine Holders
2 Plastic Storage Drawers
(these were filthy..the garden hose and clorox clean up does wonders)
