I realized something last week when we went to a Goodwill Outlet. It doesn’t take much to excite me. We spent well over an hour of our time at one of the outlets, and had a cart full for a little over $20. We were well entertained and got some cool items.
The Goodwill Outlets are quite different from regular Goodwill stores. Everything is in big rolling bins. You never know what you will find. Every two hours they change out the bins in the entire store. People start hurriedly rummaging through all of the new items, so you either have to muscle in or just wait for a few minutes until the frenzy is over.
The cool thing is that you pay by the pound. Prices go down the more your items weigh. We had less than 20 pounds so we had to pay $1.39/pound. However, a good friend of mine buys enough when she goes to get the price down to $0.59/pound.
I always wash everything once we bring it home. The picture above shows just a few of the things we purchased. I also wanted to let you know that if you do find yarn at a thrift store you can put it in a lingerie bag and wash it with your regular laundry (unless it is wool).
I have included one last photo of something we purchased that day. Just in case you ever wondered where Superman is living at now…
…well, at least he is my superman!
