9. Always loved Goodwill and never regretted a dime spent there.

Nov 2013

When the closest regular store was in Prescott, AZ, I went there every week. They opened an auxilliary next door that got the better and more expensive items, but things were still at about average yard sale prices. Living within reach of an outlet would be pure bliss for me. I have the dedication (or OCD) to dig through bins all day.

But I'm very glad about the online site. At least I can pick up (or just browse for) more unique items there. Shipping charges are just what you have to make peace with when the nearest town of any real size is 55 miles away.

When I want clothing, however, I visit our local charity-run Clothes Closet where everything costs a whopping big dime.
