A few days ago, I confessed my mad love for Goodwill.
In case you missed it, you can read all the sordid details here.
I am currently working on a 'gift' to my sister-in-law.
She's expecting a wee one in a few months, & I wanted to be the biggest blessing
to her as I could.
So, for the last several months, I've been going through the infant department
each time I'm out shopping.
I've found some decent deals here & there, but by far, my best findings
have been from ...
wait for it ...
GOODWILL!
That's right, I am giving a gift that includes items from Goodwill!
Here's a picture of my Goodwill goodies for my sweet niece that's 'in route'.
8 white onesies, 3 receiving blankets, 1 hat, 2 pr. socks {all brand new from Target}
zippered gown & 1 dress {brand new, tags attached from Carters}
8 patterned onesie-outfits, 1 dress, 1 gown
Think how much a gift like this would cost if I had been paying full price!
A 3-pk of onesies alone costs around $9!
Now, I hesitated to post a pic of all these super adorable girlie things
because I didn't want mys-i-l to see all of it ...
so, I only included in the pic the items from Goodwill.
{Plus, I have several handmade frou-frou accessories to go along with these things!}
And, knowing me & my frequent stops at GW Fashions, aka Goodwill, I'll add
a few more sweet lil' things to this stash before the baby gets here.
As the Duggar's say, buy used & save the difference!
I LOVE the goodwill! I found a glider rocker there today for $20.00 Of course I had to get it. I spend way too money there, but I get a ton of stuff... and with 3 small kids to buy for (and a working Mama), it's worth it!
ReplyDeleteKelly,
ReplyDeleteGood find!
Shopping at Goodwill = saving $$ ... and I am always all about that!
btw, thank you for your comments!
I don't get too many of them on here =)
I am the thrift store queen-love it! The truth is that you can find excellent high-end brands for pennies. I have made almost $800 in the last few months selling GW stuff on etsy.
ReplyDeleteThrifting is smart (and fun!).
Love Goodwill! What a great stash you have for your niece!
ReplyDeleteAngie,

Thank you so much, Marla.
ReplyDeleteI feel quite inferior to the multitude of top-notch bloggers out there & sometimes I have to remind myself why I am blogging to begin with.
I enjoy it so much.
When I get a comment like yours, it's such an encouragement =)
