No, I am not singing a Christmas carol. I want to talk about Goodwill Industries. If you are on a budget, this might be your best shopping bargain yet. I hope you aren't of the belief that there is just a bunch of junk that didn't sell at Garage Sales. Not at all. Goodwill is the recipient of overstocks, gifts from Grandma, and booty from Princess ShopsAlot. I bought a brand new Liz Claiborne bag for $5! Some of the best buys in the place are kids clothes, vintage decor and collectibles, holiday decorations, and furniture. You can also find glass ware and dishes for a fraction of the original cost.
And there is more! Every day of the week, Goodwill Industries will discount a tag color by 50%. For instance, all pink tags are 50% off marked price. And if you want even more savings, sign up at their website for newsletters announcing special events and sales. In addition, I got a $5 off coupon in the mail to be used on a $20 purchase. So in effect, I got that Liz bag for free!
And yet one more thing. Goodwill Industries is an employer of thousands, many of whom have physical or mental handicaps. So by shopping(or donating) with Goodwill, you are saving money, helping the community fund jobs, and recycling. Visit your nearby store or website. Think of the good you are doing.
