Yesterday I went around town to do some bargain shopping at stores such as the Goodwill and Salvation Army.  Here is the deal.  The Goodwill is getting to be ridiculous.  I noticed while meandering through that some of their items are now being marked as antiques.  Who decides that?  Do they have the some special antique expert in the back?  No.  If you are buying a donated item at the Goodwill it should not cost more than 10.00 plain and simple.  I found a teapot that was totally undoubtedly not an antique marked as one and price for 25 dollars.  I feel like the Goodwill is loosing all its goodness.  I passed on the teapot and continued to look around until I found some pants that were marked 78 dollars then they had a markdown sticker for 54 dollars.  How can the Goodwill “mark down” items they received for FREE!!!  I mean come on, these are donations that people couldn’t sell at their own private yard sales.
