Hello,

I know I’m a little late to this blogpost, but I just stumbled upon it! Can you tell me what you do when you find secondhand decorative pillows? Do you wash them, and if so – how? I have always ignored pillows that are one piece (as in, I can’t remove the cover and launder it) at secondhand stores/sales because I imagine they are full of unknown mystery dirt/stuff! Can I just throw them in the washing machine? Thanks 😀

Love your Goodwill finds. I have two Goodwills near me and I frequent them often.

Have a HAPPY weekend 🙂

Our local goodwill, in Fort Worth,Tx has a rewards punch card, for every $10 you spend you get a punch. When you get 10 punches you get $10 off your purchase. They also have a certain color that is 1/2 price that week and will randomly do 50% off a certain categories. Our does the random sales around 6 or 7 on Friday nights and the sale only last for an hour

Do you ever shop Volunteers of America? It’s my absolute favorite AND on the last Tuesday of every month the ENTIRE STORE is 50% off. It’s awesome. I’ve brought home garbage bags full of clothes for all four of my boys for less than $50. Amazing! A lot of their kids clothes are already priced at 99¢, so half off that, etc! Love it!

That was so exciting reading about your Goodwill finds, and they’re all awesome. I honestly couldn’t pick out a favorite, you really scored. In Virginia, we have a “color” which is 50% off and the color changes weekly. We also have a card(s) which is stamped each time you donate, which when filled (4 stamps fills it) gives you 20% off. I’ve been donating a lot lately as I’ve been purging big time, so I currently have 3 cards waiting for a shopping trip. Within our Richmond area, we have 10 with another opening soon, plus an outlet, plus a Goodwill Boutique (high-end donations). Also numerous other thrifts. But is there anything better (less expensive) than a yard sale?! So many thrifty ways to shop.

I’m new to reading your blog and really enjoying your posts.

I was in Goodwill last week and I was surprised at what I found. I went in looking for some cheap shirts to repurpose into doll clothes. I was surprised to find that adult shirts were all priced at over $5. With careful shopping, you can get a brand new shirt for not much more. I will be buying new fabric since I can get a quarter or half yard for less than the cost of a used shirt.

Are you seeing this at your Goodwill as well?
