My oldest daughter (who is so much taller than me already), has gone through yet another growth spurt. Leaving many of her clothes unwearable once again. I decided to give her $50 to replace what she wanted in her wardrobe. She quickly realized that $50 won’t buy you 2 shirts many places. So, we went to Good Will this morning. We actually had a really GREAT trip there. I don’t know if it is because she is in a size small women’s or what, but there were some really great choices!
I let her pick out everything that she wanted. (I had veto power of course.) She is so excited about her new clothes. She got 6 shirts and 2 belts. She is so skinny, she has to wear belts. Then I got my husband a brand new reversible leather belt for $1!!! I was really excited about that find.
In all we spent $27.65 for 6 shirts and 3 belts. Not too bad for adult clothing. She had so much fun trying it all on. It is amazing. She is becoming this little adult with opinions. She is so much fun to talk to and be around.
So, my budget saving tip: Don’t be shy about checking out Good Will and consignment stores, you might be surprised what you can find!
GREAT TRIP!! I love shopping Good Will, Yard Sales, ect. Many times you can find new items with tags still attached for minimal cost! :)
I know. It is fun. It is amazing the deals you can find. Feels like a scavenger hunt.
another place to shop is the salvation army on wed, clothes are have price. the variety is not as good as the goodwill but their prices are cheaper. half price tops and pants are 1.50 and 2.00
Thanks so much for the tip! I used to live closer to a Salvation Army. I will have to go back on a Wednesday sometime.
My favriote place to shop is St. Vincet De Pauls every saturday a certian color of spear is only 50 cents! I have gotten so many jeans and clothes for my daughter, neice and best friends 3 girls!! I love budget shopping :o
I have never heard of that. I will have to check it out. Thanks! Rene
I love consisnment shops! Every room in my house has one or more items from a consignment shop. I look for kicthen items,decorative frames, nick-nacks, and clothes. I feel good about the bargins I have found! I have bought some really cute things from a Goodwill Store also. You never know what you may find!
