Savers Thrift Store

If you live near a Savers thrift store, but haven't shopped there yet, I would recommend giving it a try. Starting on Wednesday (I think), they have a price tag color that is half price. If the color for that week is green, then any item with a price tag with color will be half off the marked price. Also, whatever items that still remain at the end of the day Sunday with that color price tag, will be on sale the next day, Monday, for only 99 cents. I have bought jackets, pants, shorts, shoes, bathing suits, glassware, knick knacks, and many other items for 99 cents. You have to get there early as I see many people that will load up their cart with items with that days' color tag. Then then will go through that cart of items to see what the really want to buy. This especially happens in the clothes department. I try not to go too often now as I am a shopaholic and buy things I really don't need. When it comes to clothes, it never hurts to get a few pairs of pants, shorts or shoes for under a dollar for each item. I have an addiction for cool knick knacks and books. Not long ago, I bought a new hardbound copy of "The Appeal" by John Grisham, for 99 cents, as well as MANY other books in excellent condition. They have paperbacks also. Goodwill also has some excellent deals, but I don't know their schedule of sales from memory. I believe they have a 50% off sale every other Saturday on everything in the store. Both of these stores have a website which can be found by a quick search at Yahoo or Google.
