During the changing of seasons, finding new clothes to fit the weather can become pricey!  Checking out your local Goodwill or thrift store is a great way to find some new additions for your own collection of clothes, or to some of your own that you don’t wear anymore for someone else to love.  You could save lots of money if you check out the different kinds of clothes thrift stores can offer when going clothes shopping.
