This is our little catch phrase when my sister and I shop at Goodwill. And yes, I would call it thrilling to be getting fantastic deals there. Or anywhere, actually. But Goodwill has special treasures.
I am not very patient when going through the clothes at Goodwill. It is too overwhelming to me! All those clothes, rack after rack; the good, the bad, and the ugly all mixed in together! And too often the "good" remains hidden, while the "ugly" scares you away!
Today I went straight to the fabric/sewing/craft area, which is unfortuantely small at my local Goodwill. But there is a little container of zippers. These zippers are used- free of fabric and mostly free of threads- but in excellent condition. They come in color-coordinated groups of four, and each little group costs 99 cents. That's right! 4 great zippers for $1!! And some of these zippers are over 20 inches long, in case you have larger projects!
Another thing I always look for in this section is knitting needles. They are usually in great shape and at only 99 cents per pair (sometimes less!), I feel like I am stealing them! They can be 7 times as much new, or even more, depending on what kind of needles you like. If you want to start knitting and you aren't picky, get over to Goodwill!
I bought 16 zippers and a pair of pretty blue size 10 knitting needles and spent $5.25!
