Early evening, 4/16. MinnieCo.... my favorite Thrift Shop.... ALSO... does not separate clothes by style. By color instead. So.... it takes quite a long time.... to go through the clothes.
Today.... I brought a BIG basket, full of donations, to the Thrift Shop. The BIG basket was quite beautiful..... and was given to us when I had my broken leg, and was in the hospital. The basket was full of fresh fruit and baked goods, wrapped in cellophane. it was hard for me to give it away.... but I really didn't have use for it. Or..... have "space" for it.
When I brought my donations to the THRIFT Shop.... I saw that they had an "unscheduled"... special sale on ALL clothing..... 50% off! It was a rainy, stormy day.... and the Thrift Shop was VERY uncrowded. (On the "every other Sunday 1/2 off days"... the Thrift Shop is jammed..... and it is quite tiring to shop on those days.)
So.... I spent some time browsing. I found a beautiful shirt & pants outfit for my dgd... for $1. For myself... I needed some summer slacks. I was able to look through the selection of pants..... and find three great pairs of summer slacks.... for $2 each.
That shopping trip was a very nice break!!!! Before I left, I was able to take a big trash bag and a big "paper recycling" bag out of the house..... in addition to the donations for the Thrift Shop. This is in addition to the "daily trash bag" and daily recycling that goes Out The Door every day.
In addition to the decluttering, and the errands, all the "routine things" have been taken care of! today. It has been a good day!
