I drove by Salvation Army today and noticed a sign out front that said "Wednesday's are FAMILY DAY -- 50% off your purchases". Of course, I had to stop. I needed new pants to use while I do my Wii Fit and go to Planet Fitness. My "workout attire" currently consists of a 2 pairs of sweat pants that are big and floppy -- that I wear as PJ's. Not exactly easy to do my yoga/strength training in, or jog on the treadmill. I was able to score 3 pairs of pants today - you can see the prices.
There are many different colors of tags. Each week, as new merchandise arrives, the put a different colored tag. This color rotates on a 4-5 week cycle. The current weeks color was YELLOW. So, this was not included on the 50% off deal. However, any other colored tag qualified for the 50% off.
I paid $2.99 for one pair, $1.50 for the other, and $2.00 for the third... for a grand total of $6.50.
Compare this to a brand new pair of running pants from Kohls @ $19.99...

I'd like to say that I saved $53.50 today. Buying used pays off!
Happy Shopping!
