Last stop was Tukwila. I know what you are thinking - this trip is nothing but clothes and you would be right. My grandkids are growing like little weeds and remember I have twin 2 year grandsons and a 7 year old granddaughter that needs to feel like a young lady even though she is wearing large size clothing. I am always on the lookout for things that will fit her and look decent on her.

2 Xmas dress $3.00 reg $5.99 each
1 jumper $2.50 reg. $4.99
 
Total $63.00 saved $19.36

Even though this trip to the Goodwill was expensive, I think with all the goodies in clothes and shoes I got for the grandkids and also the Christmas dresses I will sell at the October consignment shop, it was well worth it. 

I forgot how fast little ones go through clothes, they are a bundle of joy and giggles, but also gooey snot boogers and food droppings. I seem to change them more often. Oh well that is what is fun at going to the Goodwill - not spending a lot of money for much needed children items. Then once these cloth items are outgrown I can turn them around and sell them at the consignment shop. A win-win solution.
