Default Sweats for $.25-$.50

Yesterday afternoon, my niece let me know her church was having a rummage sale and would I want to come and see what they had. I went and was just looking around with a shopping cart. She said I would need it. Oh my biggest haul for $15.00. xxxl sweat shirts and pants. Cotton. and xx and xxx shirts and couple dresses (cotton patio). Sweat ran from .25-.50 each. dresses and shirts $1.00 max. Shades of grey to black and the shirts and dresses very colorful and 100% cotton. She told her pastor as I was checking out, I'd put a good dent into the clothes. That's a lot of backing for a few quilts. Took some non perishables for their kitchen. Had what was left of a gift card they could use at the grocery. I got a good deal and just needed to pay forward. That was the whole point of their rummage sale to raise money for the kitchen.

When I go to a church yard sale I always give double what the final price is because the items are always priced cheap. I have always done this even when I was a broke single mom. I haven't missed a meal yet.
