4 For $15
I was on my way home from work last night and I decided to stop in at my local Goodwill to see if I could pick up some shirts. I’m starting a new job next week. The company has a business-casual clothing policy, just like where I am now. Since I’ve been complaining for a while now about the fact that I have business attire and casual attire in my wardrobe, but very little business-casual attire, I decided it was time to pick up some shirts.
After spending about 15 minutes in the store, I walked out with 4 shirts for $15 (1 was $6 and the others were $3). As soon as I got home, I dropped the shirts in the wash and after drying them I ironed them all. It was at this time that I noticed a stain on one of the shirts. It was faint, but I figured a little Shout could get it out. No go on that, so I soaked and scrubbed that spot. I’ll let you know if the spot comes out.
The shirts all look good. I spent $15 for 4 shirts when I would have spent that amount on 1 shirt if Value City had been on the way home instead of Goodwill. I’ll go back either to that Goodwill in a couple of months to get more shirts, or I’ll go to another Goodwill this weekend. Another good thing about Goodwill is that you can be 100% assured that each location has a different inventory.
P.S. Of the 4 shirts, 3 are recognizable brand names. That’s just in case you are hung up on status. No one has to know where the clothes came from.
