National Thrift Shop Day was August 17, so it was another reason to go thrifting at Goodwill.

If you are unfamiliar with a Goodwill outlet store, the items are sold by the pound rather than per item.

If you’re not sure where to find them in the store, they are usually mixed in with the dresses. However, I have spotted them in the sleepwear section as well.
