My friends know I’m a long-time Goodwill shopper. Hey, everyone loves a bargain, but I thought I’d share my motivation. When springtime hits, like no other season do I want some new outfits! Goodwill, here I come.
2. I have a hugely better chance of finding modest clothing in today’s leave-it-to-cleavage, must-show-midriff, is-that-your-skin-or-your-clothes culture. Goodwill can be a few decades behind in fashion, but I’ll sacrifice a little trendiness for decency.
3. I look filthy rich. I can only afford to buy that Anne Klein blouse at Goodwill — for $4.99, instead of $69 at Nordstrom. Yes, it’s there, you just have to be patient and unearth it from amongst the rags. That’s the fun of the hunt.
4. It’s a feel-good experience. I feel good about not being wasteful, I feel good about saving my family’s money, I feel good about participating in the recycling effort.
5. Shrinkage has already happened - I know exactly what I’m getting.
Lately I’ve been scouting the local thrift shops looking for some funky coffee cannisters, so far no luck, but I’ve found a few other gems!
Thanks for the tip on Out of Africa Park. It sounds really neat, the kids would love it. How often will they get the chance to go on a safari?

I like shopping second hand too. It is exciting to find great deals.
