The American Eagle, Express or Old Navy are probably some of the first places you are itching to go to buy new clothes for spring. But what about a stop by Goodwill?
Recently, I visited the Goodwill on West Market Street and was surprised to find some really nice stuff for very reasonable prices.
Being the “go-to girl” that I am, I decided to share some of my findings with other low-budget students such as myself.
Summer jobs and internships are fast approaching, and since you have already submitted the perfect résumé, it’s time for the actual interview.
Dress clothes can be pricey, but at Goodwill I found a brown blazer for only $6.97. Pair it with a pair of brown dress pants and you will have a power suit that would make Hillary Clinton jealous.
Girls like to change their purse as often as their mood. That’s why I couldn’t pass up a brand new one for only $11.97. It is a large metallic bag, similar to those celebrities are carrying, but for hundreds of dollars less.
A lot of us try to work out at least a few times each week, but who wants to spend a bunch of money on clothes to sweat in? Not me.
I happened to come across this really simple gray pant-and-jacket set by Athletic works for only $6.97.
Guys, Easter is coming up and I’m sure mom expects you at church on time and dressed nice.
After spring break last week, the funds are probably running pretty low, especially to afford dress clothes. In order to make moms happy, stop by Goodwill and check out their selection.
I found a pair of Brooks Brothers dark-brown pleated dress pants for $4.47. They also have a good selection of dress shirts, such as Van Heusen for $4.47 as well.
Also, if you need to get dressed up and don’t have the dough for a brand new suit, the Goodwill has a wide variety of brand name suits such as Common Market for $16.97.
What’s great about Goodwill is the fact that they have a fresh supply of items everyday. They are constantly getting donations and rushing them to the shelves as quickly as possible.
Don’t get discouraged if you come out empty handed on the first visit, it’s usually hit or miss.
Buying clothes from Goodwill not only helps you out, but the money collected from sales is used to train handicapped people for jobs around the area.
If you have a few minutes to kill or are on the way to Wal-Mart, why not take a quick stop by the Goodwill on West Market? It’s on the right, not too far down from Blockbuster.
They are open Monday through Saturday from 9 a.m.-8 p.m., Sunday 1-6 p.m.
