I went to Goodwill yesterday because Mark and I have a Christmas party to go to tonight. And it's supposed to be fun and goofy, so we're all supposed to wear ugly sweaters. Well, really, who keeps ugly clothing? I don't. I figured the Goodwill would be a good place to buy something for us.
Goodwill is right next to my gym. So in between classes yesterday, I snuck out of the gym and ran to Goodwill. (Hey, the daycare was watching my kids. I couldn't beat a chance to shop without them.)
I picked out a sweater for Mark ($4) and a sweater for me ($4) and got in line. While in line, I spotted a middle aisle with an ugly Christmas sweater on it--much uglier than the one I'd picked out, which wasn't really ugly at all. Excited, I ran out of line, grabbed it, and got back in line. By the time I got to the check-out counter, I was already five minutes late for my next class at the gym.
So I did nothing but gape when the sweater rang up for $10.
$10??? Who buys clothes from Goodwill for $10???
I didn't have time to switch it, though. But I learned my lesson. Don't assume it's cheap just because it's at Goodwill.

And it was ugly, too.
...but $10 is such a bargain for a truly ugly sweater!
haha. That's great. :)
Oh, man. I think I paid too much the last time I shopped at Goodwill, too. Now I avoid the place, shop clearance racks. But I hear ya. It sounds like the perfect spot for an ugly sweater.
But it's for a good cause :) I hope you enjoyed your party at least.
What is it with ugly sweaters? I hear they are the new fashion. I went to Christmas party and a couple showed up in ugly sweaters just to look cute.
ha ha, yeah. the party was a blast. but I'll be checking prices carefully at Goodwill from now on!
And, you probably had the best one!
