On a recent trip to one of the local Goodwill stores I was delighted to see that they are now organizing their clothes for sale by size.

Believe it or now, this is a new thing for our local Goodwill store.

This will make it more likely that shoppers will find something to buy.

If you haven't shopped at a Goodwill store lately, now is the time to shop.

Treasure Hunt

Published Tuesday, June 26, 2007

Thrift shopping proves the old adage that one man’s trash is another’s treasure.

But, we wondered, how easy is it to find that treasure?

We sent three Voice staffers out on the town with $10 apiece. Their assignment: Visit any thrift store they liked to find their “treasure” while staying within a budget.
