Chicagoland Goodwill stores are running 20% off your purchase of $20+ today for Memorial Day, no coupon needed. We’re all happy with our latest Goodwill finds here — Mr. 10 was especially happy to find a stuffed Ty mouse from the Garfield Movie ($.49) and a Nerf crossbow ($1.99).
The crossbow had a piece of a bullet jammed way down inside, but he was determined to fix it. This was a project in itself (which was actually a bonus activity!), but after patience + tweezers he proved successful and now is quite happy with his new weaponry. And I’m so pleased with my new dishes. 🙂
And look at my nifty little pottery pitcher, too! Both boys are in need of new shorts because summer kind of snuck up on us here, so I also picked up a couple of pairs for Mr. 10, plus shorts + a Lucky brand tee for High School Guy. All in all, I’d say this was a successful trip.
What great finds have you picked up at your own local thrift store lately?

We went yesterday in search of clothes to pack for summer camp. Found one pair of capri leggings and two shirts, new with tags. Went to Walmart for the remainder. Jr. High daughter is growing so fast, I don't want to invest much in a single season, but she needs enough for 12 days without laundry!
