Beat the Back-to-school Crowds

One of the greatest thing about Goodwill is that you can shop seasonal merchandise all year round. That way you can beat the back-to-school crowds by shopping early.

I asked my sister to send me a list of things my niece and nephew need for the upcoming school year so I can keep an eye out while I’m out and about thrifting. I scored incredible deals on a few outfits for the kids at the Goodwill’s Akron Waterloo location.  I often wonder why anyone would buy children’s clothing anywhere else because the options are truly endless –  racks upon racks of shockingly inexpensive clothing in like-new condition.

I admit, I spent an unfair amount of time shopping for my niece than my nephew because little girl’s clothes are just too cute.

Although my sister instructed me not to buy the Star Wars shirt for my nephew because he already has a lot of summer clothing,  I did anyway because that’s what aunts do. I mean really, it was too cool not to buy it.

I spent $17 on both kids, plus I used a 20% coupon so my total was an incredible $13.50! Those Children’s Place pants are probably at least $15 at the store.

 

I’d say we’re off to a thrifty good start for back-to-school!
