I have really started becoming the Queen of Great Deals. It has been saving our family hundreds, if maybe even thousands of dollars. With this economy, most of us have been forced to become stingy creative. For me, it has been fun and exciting and a challenge that I have absolutely enjoyed. We have 3 growing girls we have to clothe and it can certainly get expensive. Yes, would I love to go into any store and buy whatever I want? Would I love to buy something that isn't on sale? The answer is actually becoming no on both of these.
And that's where Goodwill comes in. You can find some awesome deals at Goodwill. Now some of you may say "Goodwill, no way will I be caught in there." But tough economic times, calls for drastic measure (not that Goodwill is drastic). You can find great kids clothes there, some that are new and practically new. And since kids grow so fast, why not go green and buy used because they will be out of them in no time anyways.
My best tips for Goodwill are: go on Wednesdays because they have a certain color tag and week at 50% off and go on their 50% off Saturdays. Everything is 50% off on those days. We have found great, cheap bikes for our girls. Awesome clothes, including Old Navy, Children's Place, and other name brands. I found a practically new pair of capris that were Ann Taylor Loft.
Another fun thing that I have gotten into is their purses. I go through and check them all to see if I find any good leather ones or higher name brand ones. You can also check their jewelry section (usually at the front register) to see if they have any designer stuff. I keep checking for designer purses, and sometimes they have some great knock-offs too.
