Here in Tyler there is a massive Goodwill store that’s in an old home improvement store and I like to stop in whenever I’m over that direction. Sometimes I leave empty handed and sometimes with just a couple pairs of shorts or pants for little Turkey. (most of their kid’s clothes up to size 3T are just $.99) This week I found a handful of things and thought I’d share what I bought:
$1.49 soda can rack for the fridge ($5.97 at Walmart) We’re going to give it a try for a couple of weeks and if we don’t like it I’ll sell it for what I paid at a garage sale.
$1.99 dress for Little One to grow into in a couple of years (compared to $15.97 at the store)
$.79 lift the flap book for Turkey- great for road trips ($9.99 on the back)
$1.99 lamp shade (12.99 at Target) Turkey doesn’t have a lamp in his room and this will match perfectly
Total Retail Cost: $44.92. Total Cost at Goodwill: $6.26 (before tax)
And of course I should mention that Turkey’s favorite thing to go look at when we go to Goodwill is the pots
If you don’t like the can rack in your fridge, use it as an alternative to a “cansolidator” in your cupboard. That’s how I rotate some of my canned goods.
I would except that my cans are all stored in those broom closets which are about 6 inches deep.
If you decide you don’t want the can rack, I would be happy to buy it. I have been experimenting and researching ways to rotate my canned stock and a soda can rack is one thing I have considered.
