Goodwill Treasures on a snowy February day
We headed towards Seattle on a very snowy day in
February. Almost didn’t go today because of the 4” of snow that laid on the
ground this morning. The weather in the Pacific Northwest is very unpredictable
with the winds coming from Alaska and the winds coming from Hawaii. The forecast
was 30% chance of snow and around 6:30 pm Saturday the snow came fluttering
down to land. It snowed continually until midnight and then it stopped, that’s
when I went to bed, so it could have snowed more I just wasn’t aware of it.
Any ways my friend called this morning to make sure
we were still on. I scraped all the snow off my windshields, pulled on a winter
coat and galoshes and off I went to get her to head north for a visit to the
Seattle Goodwill. Roads were bare of snow and cars and it was smooth sailing. We
pulled into the parking lot and it was half full, very unusual for a Sunday
afternoon at the Goodwill. I spent $27.21
with tax – I bought 2 pairs of warm galoshes for the grandkids at $5.99 each, a
Tigger frame (the glass was broken) for $2.99, a glass frame (to replace the
broken glass) for $.99, a wicker paper holder for $2.99, duct tape for $1.99,
Sesame Street cupcake stencils for $1.99, a spray bottle for $.99, a 3 hole
punch (I broke the one at school) for $.99 and cupcake liners for $.99.
After we moved along the dry highway to Renton it
was misting and traffic was picking up, but I was able to merge onto 405 very
easily and tootled down the road. Hit Renton mid afternoon and bought a Pooh and
Tigger swim towel for $2.99, 2 hand towels for $1.00, 1 plastic paper holder, 1
package of orange heavy plastic silverware for $1.00 and 1 Tupperware cereal
container for $1.99. Total with tax was $9.29.
My friend and I decided it was time to get something
to eat to help revive our spirits and we did this in Renton. Then onto Tukwila,
it was around 3:00 pm and the snow in this area was dwindling down because the
temperature was creeping up into the high 30’s and a little rain. At Tukwila, I
bought a Civil War book for $.79, a Christmas dress for $2.50, a headband kit
for $.99, 1 glass frame for $.50, a scrapbook memory sticker for $1.99 and a
big mug for $.49. Total with tax was $7.95.
