Time to get your thrifty on, folks!
Thrifting tip: On Goodwill 50% off day, it's a good idea to go earlier in the day. I have gone when it first opens, and I have gone late in the afternoon. There are pros and cons to both situations. If you wait in line for them to open the store, you get first pick on all the treasures, but you have to fight weird crowds. Seriously, some of the people who show up first thing in the morning for half-off day are interesting characters who can at times be quite pushy. If you wait to go later in the afternoon, the crowds aren't as intense, but the merchandise might be picked over. That doesn't mean you're not going to find anything great. I've found success at all times of the day. And sometimes I walk out with nothing. The mystery is part of the fun! So if you want some good deals (seriously, a quarter for a mug? Fifty cents for a belt? Awesome.) and you're feeling adventurous, take advantage of this possible shopping spree! Above all, have FUN!
Happy thrifting!
