Is Goodwill Still A Good Deal?

I remember the days when you could purchase clothing at Goodwill for 1 or 2 dollars.  Of course back then, thrifing wasn’t as popular or considered a chosen alternative to department stores.  There were always vintage boutiques where you expected to pay more, but never at Goodwill – not until now.  Here are a few items that I found at Goodwill in Thorndale, PA which ranged in price from $3.50 to $5.00, this location also receives unsold shoes from Target which is a good deal.

Pink Lois Snyder Dani Max Vest

Jaclyn Smith Beaded Gauze top

Mint Peek & Peck Collection Capris
replaced a pair I thrifted but were cut too low in the waist / re-donated to GW

Christopher & Banks Purple, faux suede maxi skirt

Cambridge Country Denim Skirt
I am going to bleach to give it a tie-dye effect

Blue and White stripped Maxi
will wear around the house or as a beach cover-up

Lapis skirt
same style as one purchased at Marshalls

I remember when these were the “it” shoes for the Spring from Target

New with tags

If you purchase shoes from GW, make sure to disinfect them using alcohol, bleach/water or disinfectant spray or all 3 – I always spray new shoes as well.

OOTD – The Big Cut Down

As stated in a previous post, when thrifing I don’t let larger sizes deter me from making a purchase because it can always be altered.  This red and white polka dot top was a size 2X that I cut down using another shirt as a guide.  I paired it with black and white polka dot capris also thrifted from Goodwill.

2x large shirt thrifted from Goodwill for $3.75

Folded the shirt in half

Used another shirt as a pattern for re-sizing

Cut out leaving enough fabric to stitch

Belted to cinch the waist a bit more

Red and White Polka Dots paired with Black and White Polka Dot Capri Pants // Sandals – Mossimo via Target

Will not be opening the pool this month!

OOTD – Spring Transition

The temperature is now more seasonal for Spring, so I am trying to wear my long sleeve shirts and blouses before the heat of the summer.

Today I paired a stripped maxi skirt from Marshalls with an Eastern Tunic from eastessence.com

AS SEEN ON TV – CERAMIC GREEN NON-STICK FRY PAN – PASS

Okay, so I broke down and purchased another “AS SEEN ON TV” product, the Ceramic Green Non-Stick Fry Pan from Target for $19.99.  My oldest son has been cooking scrambled eggs since he was in Junior High School, so I chose him to test the scramble.  Hubby thinks he is the pancake king so he tried it out on two large ones and I tested it on a fried egg.  Each passed with flying colors and the clean up was quick and easy, which in my book makes it definitely worth the price.

$19.99 purchased from Target

I seasoned it as per the instructions on the label

Image

Lightly oil the pan and heat until it just begins to smoke

Image

I wiped it out and then my son made his scrambled eggs – PERFECT – no oil, butter or grease used.

Image

Image

He loves cheese…lots of it!

Image

Perfectly prepared non-sticking scrambled eggs with cheese

Next hubby and his pancakes

Image

It flipped easily and slid out of the pan (I missed the shot)

Image

I am not an egg eater but I tested the pan on a fried egg

Image

It didn’t “swing around” the pan as advertised on tv, but it was definitely non-stick

Clean up was easy breezy!

Definitely worth the $19.99!
