After working my full time job today, it seemed like a good day to stop at my favorite local Goodwill store.  I usually go to Goodwill on Sundays because they have a new color tag that is half off and the previous weeks tag is $1.00 for clothing and 70% off off "hardgoods" (aka - everything else).  Every once in a while I will stop during the week to look around.  I should really do this more often! 
I have been wanting some real dark blue jeans. I assumed I would have to go to the Mall to find them. For some reason, I checked the racks at Goodwill and there they were!! Amazing, and only $4.99. Vera Wang!! I pulled them out and couldn't find a size but they looked like they would fit.  I could have tried them on but Goodwill has a 7 day return policy on most items. I decided to try them on at home. I finally found the size.....They are a size 2 and they fit.  I haven't worn a size 2 in 10 years and I haven't lost any weight!!  Vera Wang just wants me to feel good.  I like that Vera Wang.  I also bought a red Sweater for $1.74 for the casino trip my husband is taking me on for my birthday. Red because it is Lucky you know and the Yellow Oxford shirt with the embroidered logo because that is where I work for $1.74 and FOUR pair of jeans at $4.99 each.

These are my Rewards!



Well, in order for me to feel good about my "personal" purchases, I have to buy a few items to sell on ebay that will cover the costs. These are my Thrifing Rewards. I found a new Harley Davidson Zip front hooded sweatshirt for $3.49. It should sell for at least $20.00 on ebay. A Nike purple Dri-Fit shirt that should sell for $10.00 or more. I found Coleman thermal lined Flannel shirt, A heavyweight Flannel Carhartt Shirt and a black long sleeve Carhartt t-shirt for  $3.49 each. I hope these will sell for around $15.00 to $20.00.  And a J.Crew Giraffe print Cardigan Sweater for $3.49. This should sell for about $15.00 to $20.00 also.

I spent a total of $48.08 including tax. I will be returning two or three items.

The Eddie Bauer Mercer Fit pants didn't fit, The Stretch top has 3/4 sleeves (I don't care for 3/4 sleeves and didn't notice it until I got it home) and the yellow and black hoodie.....I haven't decided yet. Eddie Bauer pants and the George stretch top are not good sellers on ebay so they will go back. The hoodie was for me as a joke to my husband because he says he can't find me at the casino because I don't wear bright enough colors. Well this is bright but I haven't decided if I would really wear it.  I might sell on ebay too. I haven't really checked it out.

I figure I could make $80.00 or more if everything were to sell. All my goodies should be FREE!

I will be listing these in a couple days.  I list for 7 days so I will be back with my totals.
