Meet The Generous Contributors Who Helped With Our Contest….And Made Shannon’s Day!
If you’ve been a fan of our website, you know I love shopping at Discover Goodwill, especially for my clothes. Back in March, when we launched our site, my girlfriend Ashley gave me a Goodwill gift card and with that, I started our very first two Goodwill contests, where we had women enter and then […]

KKTV’s “Moms Everyday” Jen Lennon’s Goodwill Shopping Spree…And What We Found
The first time I met Jen on her Moms Everyday segment on KKTV, wanted to find some outfits she could wear on air so we needed to find items that didn’t show too much cleavage and would look good while she was sitting down.
The BIG List of Consignment/Resale & Thrift Stores
This list is mostly clothing, misc, and furniture….I didn’t include bookstores, which would be a whole other list! Also, a lot of these stores sell other items besides the category I put them in (for example, Consignment of Collectibles sells clothing and furniture and collectibles) but they are listed first under furniture so that’s where I put them.
Gia…Our Newest Model of Back-To-School Clothes From Goodwill…AND My Granddaughter!
Meet Gia,our latest model for back-to-school clothes from Goodwill. Gia’s 10, soon to be 11 in a couple of weeks and starting 6th grade this year. Gia is also our granddaughter so she got a few extra items! As you’ll see with the progression of the outfits and pictures, she was soon feeling her inner model emerge….
Maddie…Meet Our Latest Back-To-School Goodwill Shopping Winner
Maddie is eleven years old and tall and thin and likes wearing jeans, even though finding jeans that are long enough for her, yet small enough for her frame, can be a challenge.
We were able to find two pairs of jeans that fit perfect and were long enough and three really cute tops.
Saving Money On Back-To-School
I know we’ve focused on back-to-school ideas a lot lately but it is a big expense for those who have children, and even if you don’t, chances are you have a friend or family member who does, so hopefully you can use this information. And after reading this, if you have any money-saving ideas you’d like to share, we’d love to hear them!
Meet Hannah….Our First Back-To-School Goodwill Winner…..Sweet AND Cute!
This was a fun shopping trip for me, getting to meet Hannah (age 8) and her three sisters and mom Renee. We shopped, tried on clothes and made our purchases all in about an 1 1/2 hours and all the girls were so well-behaved, friendly, cute, sweet….well, I fell in love with all of them!
Decorating With Thrift Store and Retail Clearance Items…a “Peek” Inside Ashley’s House
I shop all the time at thrift stores and retail clearance aisles for clothes and shoes but they are also great places to pick up decorative items for your home…especially if you’re on a budget.
Retail Secrets? …
Yahoo! just put out an article about retails secrets. a) I’m not sure they’re secrets and, b) I don’t agree with all of them. What about you?

Thrift Store Shopping at Nonprofit Stores in Colorado Springs
Making Sense (and cents) of Thrift Shopping I love finding a great deal on something I need (or want)! I get real pleasure wearing an outfit that looks and feels great and not feeling “guilty” about it because it cost $10 (instead of $50 or more)! I think that even if we were millionaires, I’d […]
Spring Clean Your (Clothes) Closet
Let’s Be Honest… Keeping your clothes-closet organized and uncluttered is a challenge for a lot of women. Clothes are personal and can evoke memories, and create a mood (and of course keep you from running around naked!). When was the last time you grabbed an article of clothing from your closet, put it on, looked […]
June Fashion Finds At Kmart…..Who Knew?
I recently wrote a post about cute summer shoes for $30 or less and one of the shoes I showcased was from Kmart. Well, it had been years since I had been in to a Kmart store so I decided to visit one and see what I could find at a low price. Overall, I found their prices similar to Target or Wal-Mart for clothes but I really wanted to focus on their accessories and what a great bunch of deals I got!
What NOT To Wear To The Office – What Do You Think?
I agree with the chipped nail polish, it can make the best of outfits look worse when paired with chipped, half on/half off nail polish (on the fingers or the toes). Does your work place have a dress code?
Cute Summer Shoes….All Under $30.00
Here’s five different styles for summer from stores ranging from K-Mart to Macy’s, all under $30.00. I tried to show a variety that would appeal to most women, some aren’t necessarily styles or colors I would wear but they are all cute, summery and inexpensive.
