Goodwill finds for 01.26.14

Today my friend and I decided we were going back to our old stomping ground; Seattle, Renton and Tukwila Goodwill. Around noon we headed north on I-5 dry but gloomy day. As we neared Seattle the sun started to break. This was a great day in bargains; all the green tags were 50% off today. If you go tomorrow all the green tags will be $1.29. 

I have been looking for a weird size bookcase for behind my desk at school, I needed it to be 2’ high by 5’ long and 2’ in depth. Well I found something that isn’t quite those dimensions but it will work just fine, I think. It happened to be 29” long by 18” high and 16” in depth. I will know tomorrow when I take it to school. I’ll let you know what I think later. I also bought 2 storage containers with hinged lids for $3.99 each, 1 Halloween storage container for my daughter (to store kid’s clothes) for $3.99, 1 4-drawer storage container for $3.99, 1 really cool wine holder box (since I don’t drink wine, I think this will turn into a cool art project) for $2.99, 1 wire house for a plant $4.99, 5 containers of 12 plastic kid’s hangers (for hanging clothes for the consignment shop in Puyallup, May 1 – 4) for $.50 each. In addition, I bought 2 Christmas dress (to sell next year at the consignment shop), $2.50 and $2.00, 1 top for Kenz for $2.00, 1 package of wire for $.99 and 1 Elmo toy for $.99.

 Onto Renton we went in the sun and I bought 2 art books – 1 for $2.99 and 1 for $.79, an Elmo book for $.99. Next I bought 1 pair of Tommy Hilfiger tennis shoes slings for $4.00, 1 pair of galoshes for $2.00, 2 hats one for $2.50 and one for $2.00 ,1 big yellow truck for $3.00, 1 pair of pants $1.00 and overalls for $2.00, 2 cups for $.50 each and 1 wine cup on the go for $1.99. Also I bought Happy Birthday new plates for $.99, napkins for $.99 and cups for $.99.

 

Last stop was Tukwila and I bought 3 hardback books for $.79 each, 2 paperback books for school $.79 each, 1 mosaic book for $.99 and 1 silicone measuring cups for $1.99. In addition, I bought 1 Winnie the Pooh frame for $ 1.99, 1 coat for $ 2.00,1 pair of corduroy pants for $1.00, 2 pairs of pants for $1.00 and $1.50, 1 sweatpants for $1.00, 1 turtleneck for $1.00, 1 GAP sweatshirt for $2.00, 1 pair of galoshes for $2.00 and 1 Joe Boxer feetie pj’s for $4.00. Also I bought 2 buckets to make into Easter baskets for the grandkids one for $1.99 and one for $1.50. 

I feel that these purchases were a slam dunk and I enjoyed my day driving with a friend and pursuing old territory to find those lost treasures I didn’t know I was missing in my life. Stay tuned to new adventures and what I do with what I bought today.
