I Love Second-Hand Stores!

Today is my third day in a row of posting. I wonder how hard it's going to be to come up with things to post about like 100 days from now. Or even what to post about tomorrow. I have never really considered myself to be a good writer. So who knows where things will go.

Today my mom and I went to Goodwill... There’s just something I love about thrift shops in general. Where to even begin... I love going to them. I love finding good deals on things there. I love going through racks of boring clothes until I find something that I like. I used to not be so keen on getting things second hand; now I get a lot of my clothes from places like that. (I do draw the line though at shoes, underwear, and bathing suit bottoms... There are some things that just aren't meant to be worn again by someone else.)

It doesn't get boring either because there are so many second hand stores around. There's Salvation Army, Goodwill, Mother & Child, OPUS, Savers, and also some little local ones. Some are nicer than others but they all have good stuff if you are willing to look. My new favorite is Savers. We found that one a few months back. It's located in Nashua close to the Pheasant Lane Mall. This one actually looks like a department store. Everything is neat and they do a good job of running the place.

Unfortunately, I did not find anything today. In the past though, I have found various things: jeans and shorts from American Eagle, a dress from Old Navy, shirts from different places, etc. Perhaps next time I will find some things.

  4. Come see me! We now have, almost brand new, a huge Salvation Army and a huge Goodwill within 6 miles of us. They both look like department stores. We could go every day! :) Love you and love your blog! Meana
