The Goodwill closest to me has become an “Outlet” store. They sell clothes, housewares, books etc. by the pound. I was there to check on the household items and furniture. It seems that the furniture selection is about the same just marked down a lot more. In my experience Goodwill does not have a lot of furniture I can use but once in awhile a real “find” pops up. Two weeks ago there was a nice mid-century bench/table. It had great lines. And now I regret I didn’t buy it and store it until it fit into a customer’s home (or maybe mine).
I got a little sidetracked. The point of this post is if there is a Goodwill Outlet near you, keep it on your list. You can still find some good deals.
I looked in some of the bins for clothes and found an adorable Christmas apron. It cost about 25 cents.

I donated two full garbage bags of clothes and other items last week as I try to move out. That made me feel good. Shopping at goodwill is nothing to be ashamed of.
