All right friends. The time has come for a moment of epicness. It just so happens that on Wednesday, October 13, my friend Aimee and I went to the ... wait for it ... 50% off sale at Goodwill in Fillmore at which I scored my best haul yet.
Ahem.
I purchased:
2 jackets for me (including one beautiful black and white coat from Express!)
1 shirt for me
1 shirt for Beth
1 shirt to sell to Buffalo Exchange
1 sweater for me
1 comfy wrap dress for me
1 pair of dress pants for me for a hypothetical job
1 jacket/shirt for me for a hypothetical job
1 jacket for Emily
2 sweaters for Emily
1 pair of shorts (brand-new from Target) for me
1 belt for me
1 skirt for me
1 sweater for Beth
1 package of unopened tissue paper
3 new Beanie Babies for Operation Christmas Child
= 16 articles of clothing and 1 package of tissue paper and 3 Beanie Babies
Guess how much?
a.) 31.95
b.) 37.25
c.) 42.45
d.) 49.05
I just have to say that the day before this tremendous score, I was wandering around Express in Valencia because I had a coupon and Jeremy had a birthday and Express was having a sale (such a happy merging of circumstances). I was looking at all their beautiful jackets that cost $100-$200 and thinking I would never buy one unless I found one at a thrift store--and the odds of that were higher than me actually catching a boomerang that someone threw at me from across the street. Lo and behold, the very next day, one appeared in my size for $3.00! It was only missing one button, which was soon remedied. God surely spoils us sometimes. Ah, so did you guess the grand total? It's answer "b." Hum and I did the math; each article of clothing cost an average of just over $2.00. It was a good day!

Sweet! And I love that you're well-versed in used clothing arbitrage. How much did you sell the piece to BE?
Weirdly, they didn't take it, but I'm going to give it to a friend. However,I sold one shirt for $7.50 store credit and another for $10.00 store credit for a profit of $15.00.
