Hello everyone!
I have been wanting to post
all of my new finds,
but I have been distracted by
Justin Bieber's monkey and
checking in to rehab.
How am I supposed to
blog when all I can think about is
Bieber's monkey being stuck in customs?!
With that being said, I'm going to try and concentrate on
my findings from this week. Now, if you live in St. Louis,
you have heard of the Goodwill Outlet downtown. If you're
not familiar, it's a place where everything leftover from regular
Goodwills. The merchandise is in giant blue tubs
and everything is sold for 79 cents a pound.
I have ALWAYS wanted to go, but every time I mention it,
someone scares me and I stay home.
Everyone I have talked to either loves it or
hates it. I posted on Facebook last night that I wanted to go today and
friends told me to watch my cart, wear gloves, wear a mask, don't get cut, etc.
Thankfully, my sweet friend
Heather and her daughter Macy
met me there!
So, this is what I came home with.
The trophy, pillow, book, and sweater
cost me $3.69. The trophy
is for an activity I'm doing at school, and
the book and pillow will
match my house perfectly.
I bought the sweater for Ross,
(brand new from Target)
but after taking a picture of it,
I think it's a girl sweater.
What do you guys think?
Overall, my experience was good and
I'll probably go back.
All of the furniture was like $2 though.
It's not in the best condition,
but if you're creative it's worth taking a trip there.
People are CRAZY
when the staff pushes out
new bins, but if you stay back you'll
be fine. Next time I go, I'll
be brave and stand on the front lines.
Since I was off today, I went to
the GC Goodwill after the outlet
to see what I could find.
Here's what I got today!
Brand new Target baby clothes.
I have a couple of friends' in mind
that would love these.
Brand new Target dress and skirts.
Perfect for the warmer weather that's
hopefully coming.
A polo and V-neck for Ross.
I had the Cardinals in mind when I picked these up.
Brand new duvet set with shams.
I splurged and paid $18
for this, but duvet sets on the Target website
are around $70.
And now for the giveaway!

not sure what I'm doing, but
