Tuesday, July 19, 2011 A trip to Value Village

I thought I brought all the right clothes with me for my trip but didn't count on the Calgary heat. My clothes were better for the Chilliwack weather that I had just left, warmish, but still in the range of things you would wear for summer. We had also decided to stay another day so a run to Value Village for a few things to wear for the next couple of days, was in order. Melissa was also looking for a few items so it worked for both of us. They had some nice stuff there so it was hard for me to concentrate on just clothing. So I filled my basket with a ton of clothes knowing that if I found one item I would consider it a miracle. I hate trying on clothes and I hate shopping for them. I pulled the cart behind me and when a cubicle came open I darted in and being mindful of the 6 items only rule, I left the rest outside the dressing room so I had easy access to them as I discarded the ones I didn't want. I was doing okay until the lady in the next cubicle was told by the clerk that when it says 6 items only, it means you can only try on 6 items then you have to go to the back of the line and wait again for another dressing room to come available. So three trips to the back of the line and I scored with a couple of tops and some capris. Melissa did well also but her stuff looked like it just came off the rack at some fancy store. So until tomorrow I bid you good bye and look for those bargains, you never know.
