I was a bit upset to say the least when I went to our SA near the house. I got what I was looking for old flannel shirts for $1.00-1.50 for x-xxl sizes. I got 8 shirts. Now the night before the SA was passing out coats for the homeless and some blankets and said they ran out. I was really upset because I donated a few blankets and couple older but nice warm jackets that didn't fit anymore and DH just didn't really like them. I was shocked the stock of coats/jackets and blankets on the racks. I asked the clerk about them and with all on the rack I knew they didn't just put them out. She stated. that the better ones go on the retail racks and the other ones are passed out. I was just a little dismayed, disappointed whatever word fits. I will continue to donate. I will also hold back a little and next time I see a disadvantaged person who needs a jacket will give one to them, when I see the need. Just no sense in my mind. Canstill get some great deals at the thrift stores though.
