On my recent trip to Goodwill this week, I actually scored some great items! My total was so cheap that I rewarded myself with a round of applause and a firm pat on the back. I was proud of the amount. So here is my haul for the week:
 |
| Red Cotton Fabric - 2 yards approx. $1.00 |
 |
| Gallon size bag of buttons - $1.00 |
Again, I only paid $1.00 for this huge, gallon sized bag of buttons. I love buttons. You can use them for function, decoration or just hoard them in pretty jars. The only thing I dread is sorting them all.
 |
| Tons of thread, needles, etc. - $10 |
 |
| Tons of assorted safety pins and quilting pins - $10 |
Both of the photos above were in a bucket together and the total for all the above was $10. The safety pins alone are like $2.99 at our local Kmart. I brought them home and shared the haul with my oldest daughter. I even set some aside to include in future giveaways. :)

| Singer Tiny Serger -- $1.00 |
This was the big haul of the week! They originally had this priced at $15. I took it to the front and asked if they could plug it in for me so that I could see how well it worked. When we plugged it in, it came on and started to work, but it kept jamming after a few stitches. The lady looked at me and said that if I thought I could fix it she would give it to me for $1.00. So, why not? I took it to my ex husband #1 (thank goodness we still are friends!) and he cleaned it out for me and got it running. Now, I just need to figure out how to thread the darn thing!
So here is my total for the haul:
1+1+10+1= $13.00
Not too bad of a deal I think. My pocket book is certainly agreeing with me.
