Usually, one pair of Nike leggings costs between $60 and $120, depending on the style. I scored three pairs of leggings at Goodwill for a fraction of the price: $6.49 each. 

My latest find is an MZ Wallace Micro Bag. I discovered the brand last year when I thrifted a work bag during the Sterling/Dulles grand opening. Since then, I’ve had my eyes peeled for another one at Goodwill.

Shopping for these items while they are plentiful in your Goodwill locations and storing them until next Winter is a proactive action as a smart thrifter. Check out the items offered at your local nonprofit store! 

Later that evening, I was curious to find out how much the same sweater would cost as offered on other sites. Poshmark sellers offered the sweater from $99-$150 for it where I paid $7.49! Truly a Christmas miracle. I will continue to hunt for favorite brands and items at DC Goodwill locations!
