Goodwill stores for smaller sizes Kay Leighton & others

August 8, 2001

Here's a tip for keeping clothed while shrinking: GoodWill/Thrift

stores have great stuff! Really, no kidding! I got a pair of $30

Lee Casuals for $3, a really cute swimsuit for $1.50 (chlorine from

water arobics eats up suits in 3 months), several Liz Claiborne tops

for $3 each, etc. I had never been in one of these places, but

recently I heard some of the office people here talking about

shopping there and I gave it a try. It is actually pretty fun, kind

of like a treasure hunt, since our local GW store sorts their pants,

tops, etc. by color instead of by size. It would really be cool if

they were sorted by size AND color... They even have brand new top-

brand-name stuff, I assume that stores have donated. And our GW

store is a small town one, I imagine some of you big-city folks would

have much larger selection.
