Eric and I frequently visit our local Goodwill when we are need of an item that we think we could get used for a great deal. A few pieces of our furniture have come from there as well as halloween costumes and some of Eric's clothes. Today we visited because we decided to get a flat screen monitor to set up a desktop in our new apartment. We had seen one at Goodwill before but didn't have a chance to test it to see if it worked. It did work and it cost us $85.00. Come to find out, it's a $400 monitor!

The next thing we looked for was a suit jacket for Eric because he is ushering at a friend's wedding this weekend and needs to have a jacket for the event. I was doubtful about this find because they all seemed to be XL or XXL. When I brought Eric over to show him the jackets, however, he put the first one on that I showed him and it fit perfectly! It also is a perfect match for his one pair of dress pants so we were excited to pay $7 for a suit jacket.
After this exciting find, I decided to go on a hunt to get him some new jeans because his have ripped. He tried on the first pair I gave him which looked great in my opinion and we both liked them a lot. I then decided to find him a polo shirt to go with his cool new jeans. He likes bright colors so we picked a green one. The jeans and polo shirt were also $7 each. Not bad! We came home and I cut his hair and then took some pictures. I think he looks pretty darn good!
Thank you Jesus that we did not have to pay $80 for a new suit jacket and we found a great monitor for our apartment.
