My shopping is almost done for the cooking event tomorrow!   I did forget two little things that I will pick up on the way to pick up Tommy.   I was done early in the morning and I took everything to the church already.  Since I had some time to kill I decided to take a look around Goodwill.  I rarely have time to ever go there and I forget it exists to be honest.  I don’t know if everyone already knows this, but in our town Target and Old Navy donate their clearance items to Goodwill.  So I bought some shirts that were new from Target with tags still on them for $1.91.  It is funny because I have one of the sweaters in a different color and I paid 10.00 or more of it at Target.  LOL!!  I wish I knew what day of the week items come in from Target.   I really needed jeans and I won’t pay alot for them since I only wear them on weekends.   I save all my money to buy work clothes.  Those I don’t skimp on!!  As long as I have one nice pair of jeans for Friday’s the rest don’t matter and some of mine are pretty sad.  So I figured I would go in Goodwill and find some weekend jeans to get me through a few months!

I found two pairs of Tommy Hillfiger jeans in my size.  Actually this brand must run a bit large as the size 10 seems big to me and TRUST me I have not lost any weight.  I can wear a belt.   The tag on them said 8.99.  That is good for Tommy jeans…I will take them.  They rang up at 4.02.  WOO HOO!!   Two pairs of Tommy jeans in very good condition for a little of 8.00.  Good deal!  

I also bought 3 weekend shirts…..all three new from Target.  Price ranging from 2.39 to 1.91.  Not bad.   I also found the cutest pair of shoes.  Marked..6.99….but way cute.  Sort of a lug heel brown tie shoe.   Great winter shoes.   Rang up at 1.27.  And I was debating if I should get them at 6.99!!!!!

I also hit pay dirt on books!!!   I really don’t need books, but there were a ton of Oprah books and I LOVE TO READ!   I ususally only go to the library.  But for .99 cents a book how could I pass them up. 

The following are the books I bought:

The South Beach Diet – ok…for 99 cents I will look at it!
The wonder of Boys – Michael Gurian
Vinegar hill – A. Manette Ansay
Daughter of Fortine – Isabel Allende
Moira’s Crossing – Christina Shea
The Liar’s Club – Mary Karr
The Weight of Water – Anita Shreve
The Book of Ruth – Jane Hamilton
We wer the Mulvaneys – JOyce Carol Oates

Of couse when I got to the check out the books were also discounted so I ended up only paying 60 cents a book!    Should be a good pile for the winter.  There were more I wanted, but didn’t want to spend too much!  

I bought a few books and movies for Tommy too!   I can’t believe what great finds I found.   But you really have to have the time to look!  The great things are few and far between!   I found one pair of pants for Erik and one for Tommy.  Kids clothes weren’t great.   I also bought a Spiderman rain coat for Tommy. 

Man do I love a good deal!!!  It was alot of fun hunting throught the store!
