My Kids' Clothing Scores at Kenosha Goodwill

I took advantage of the opporunity to get out today with only two of my three kids (since I'm still staying with my parents, I left the oldest with her Grampy) and checked out the Kenosha Goodwill store.

My Grandma, the original Frugalista, says that Goodwill has gotten too pricey for her anymore, and she has a point. I passed over every piece of adult clothing I saw because it was $5 or more. They have half-price days, which is awesome, except that this store's half-price days are Sunday and Monday, and it's closed for Easter this Sunday and after that I won't be in Kenosha anymore. So I had to pay full price for my $33 haul -- if I could have gotten half price it would have been more like $22. (Only the tagged items are half price, so the things I bought from the $1.50 bins wouldn't be cut in half.)

But I did find some bargain children's clothing.

The secret, at this Goodwill and also the one I frequent in North Riverside, is that they price most kids' clothes at $2.99 no matter the brand. So a Target brand item is a pretty terrible deal there since you could find it in the original store for not much more than that. But this Janie and Jack top was a great deal at $2.99:

And so was this A-line Gap skirt:

As was this Gymbo dress:

And this Polo Ralph Lauren baby sweater at $1.50:
