Score

Karma. Good Karma. You gotta love it. As you know I am seriously downsizing and decluttering. And you know the enormous amount that has went to charity. Well today the good karma came back my way.
We were in Jefferson City today, eating Mexican food, hitting the health food store, generally bumming around. Decided to check out Goodwill for some t-shirts. OMG! (that is oh my goodness to me lol) Hit the jackpot. 3 Gap never been even washed T's, a Banana Republic T, a Coldwater Creek long sleeved T and 2 head wraps. I have all I need for spring and summer. All for 17$!! And it is so fun. I love a good bargain hunt. Consignment, thrift or Goodwill are the best. I am ashamed of all the money I wasted over the years, while feeding the consumer cycle in the process. NO MORE! I am still in search of some good shoes for spring and summer. Won't do second on those though. I am on my feet to much and prefer my shoes fit correctly. As said previously no undies, socks or shoes second hand. 75% used is the goal. The 25% is for above items. If you haven't checked out your local Goodwill, Salvation army, etc lately I encourage you to do so. You may be shocked at the amazing buys.
In keeping with the downsizing out went 4 items for every one I purchased. Guess where it will go to? Peace.

I'm truly amazed you are giving away 4 items for every one you purchase. I love your other ideas as well.

Thank you so much. The very same day I went home and removed 50-60 items and off to GW they went a few days later. I only had to find 28 but once you're on a roll, ha ha. My best friend and I went flea marketing the other day. I am getting her in the boat with me. She bought three things, then we went to her house and she removed 20! She was shocked at how easy it truely was. That day I didn't purchase anything. Blessings.
