My $20 a day addiction to Goodwill


It started years ago but it was an occasionally recreational hobby. Ever since my visit to Portland Oregon it has become a daily obsession. Portland Oregon has the most awesome Goodwills. They are like high end consignment shops with designer labels and clothes in pristine quality. I found a pair of Seven jeans for $12.99 and a Gusto shirt for $2.29. That's how it started. Now I'm scouring the local sarasota Goodwills whenever I can. It doesn't help that I have one right down the street from me. It's like having a crack house right next door. I spend on an average visit about $20. I leave with bags of Gap clothes that are in perfect condition and in style. If anyone can offer some advise on how I can make money doing this, please notify me as soon as possible before I spend all my savings and end up working at Goodwill.

I am in total agreement with you regarding goodwill. I purchased a beautiful cashmere sweater, Saks brand, up here in Maine. I think people who spend a lot of money on designer clothing take them to goodwill and feel better about donating them as opposed to taking them to a consignment store. Yeah for goodwill! michele
