Hi there! I'm back!
Today I'm sharing my latest Goodwill Outlet haul. If you haven't heard of Goodwill Outlet stores, you need to see if there is one in your area and go check them out! I have a blast going and digging through the bins to see what I can find. At $1.29/pound for clothes and $0.59/pound for homegoods even the regular Goodwill Store seems expensive! Sometimes I can't seem to find much, but most times I come away with a cart full of goodies and I rarely spend over $20!
This time I bought 27 things.
I play piano, so I bought this 40's music songbook just to play for fun.
This book is so neat! It has classic Christmas carols and then decorating and food ideas for those carols. For instance, the song "White Christmas" has decorations mostly in white and white or light colored food items. This is great for different Christmas decorating ideas or parties!
This is an older book, but I love home decorating and just enjoy looking and reading.
A cheap, quick read.
This is a baby doll rocker bench, but as you can see the seat is ripped. I tore out the cane seating and plan to use it as a planter in the spring. Another post for another day!
These are little Play-Doh people that have different stamps and molds to use with Play-Doh. These come in different sets and I got a bag full of about 30 pieces!
Just a basket that I am using as a trash can in our guest room/play room.
This is a small round table cloth that looks like it has handmade stitching! I thought it was so unique and pretty.
This is a really bad picture and makes it look like the sweater is faded and worn, but I promise it's not!
You can see most of the clothes are for me or for my girls. I found a lot of pajamas for them this time. I don't buy pajamas that are worn or stained of course, and some I found feel like they could be almost new!
My total for everything was $13.77!
*It is different than a regular Goodwill Store. Everything comes out in huge blue bins and you have to dig. I've taken gloves before and they have been filthy afterwards, so I would recommend those!
*Also, I try not to have to take my kids. You need to take your time to dig and kids get super bored or want every ratty old doll they see.
*If you are needing something, you probably won't find it. This is a store to go to when you just want to bargain shop.
*The fellow shoppers can be fierce. A lot of the other shoppers are re-sellers on places like Ebay and as soon as a new bin comes out, people are waiting around for it and if you even think you want something, grab it and then go through your stuff later. Some stores take a whole row of bins away and then tape off the area. They then bring out a whole new row of bins covered in sheets and you cannot touch the bins until the row is complete and they remove the sheets. Other stores just bring them out one at a time. Just be careful and be courteous!
*Most of all, Have FUN! This is where I go on my mommy nights or when I visit my mom. We love to go together.
Here is a link to see if there is one near you!
Have you ever found anything extraordinary or valuable, or some fabulous piece of clothing? Let me know in the comments!
Love the Goodwill Bins! It is therapy!
