Update 8: Goodwill Shopping Spree

So some good teacher friends of mine from my student teaching school went on a Goodwill Shopping Spree over Spring Break this year.  They went to Indianapolis to shop and only went to Goodwill stores.  They loved it because they got really nice clothes (especially from the Noblesville/Carmel area) for super-cheap.  So, I mentioned to my mom (who is also a Goodwill shopper) and my sister that we might try it out, and we did just that a few weeks ago!  

We were gone for nearly 10 hours and went to only 3 stores!  My sister got TONS of clothes for her student teaching semester this fall and I got several tops and pairs of pants/skirts for school as well.  I made off like a bandit in their book section, though!  I decided to use Goodwill stores as a means to stock up on cheap books for my classroom library.  My library now houses over 200 books, thanks largely in part to the Goodwills of Indy and Muncie :)

50+ Young Adult novels featuring: A Series of Unfortunate Events (nearly the whole series), the Twilight series, the Royal Diaries books, The Lovely Bones, the Left Behind books, Gossip Girl books, Georgia Nicholson books, and several random fantasy, science fiction, sports, and non-fiction books that I supposed boys to be interested in...

I used the JFK movie to teach part of a non-fiction unit at Daleville, so I picked it up. Peter Rabbit was just for fun!

I can't shuffle cards, so this is a life-saver!

CHEAP CLOTHES!

This was right before the last movie came out and we were watching all 7 of the other movies in a marathon, so I got this to see how well we were paying attention. I rocked this game.

Childhood favorites!
Score!  I'm ready for our next Goodwill trip...maybe Fall Break?
