Goodwill shopping

May 29th, 2011 at 01:14 pm

Went to Goodwill yesterday and did some very sensible shopping, I think. I spent $10 on clothes -- a new pair of khaki pants and dark brown capris. The khaki pants were a definite need, as my old ones are too large to wear now. The capris will just add a little variety to my wardrobe. Then I found 3 figurines for my DIL's Christmas village ($1.50) and a boxed set of tin ornaments ($1.99) which will be a nice gift for anyone -- it goes in my stash.

I carried around four plates and bowl in classic blue onion pattern before I finally put them back. I just wasn't feeling it. I have always thought I would like to collect blue and white china in different patterns, but right now I don't have the space to store it. And with my quiet lifestyle, how much do I need? I already have 10 place settings of Blue Willow. I think I'll be satisfied with that.

    Sometimes I find little nonsense things to covet at the thrift stores. But where would I put them? My small house saves money in trinkets denied!

    Wise move. One can be just as addicted to Goodwill shopping as Tiffany shopping, and it can be just as bad - worse because you can buy more and really start that hoarding pile.
