I spoiled myself yesterday by taking a birthday (57) visit to the local Goodwill store in search of cheap ties to bolster my minimalist wardrobe, as well as a small glass goblet to hold my spare change and a nice ceramic to act as an “ashtray” for my Blu E-cigarettes. Just a little something to brighten up my ‘home office’. Two ties and the items shown below? Five and a half bucks total, (there’s not even any tax because it’s a non-profit purchase!).
You have to catch me in person to see the ties I got for two bucks apiece and even then you won’t be able to tell if they are the Goodwill ties or the expensive ones I got at the Crossroads Mall. Only my Goodwill checkout girl knows for sure.

Courteous and engaging staff pointed out Xmas sale items!
While I was wandering about the aisles of Goodwill, I couldn’t help but notice all manner of inexpensive and interesting gift possibilities. With the exception of the framed picture of the Indian and Horse and the girl’s bicycle, I don’t think there’s anything in this photoset over five bucks and most are under three bucks! Slideshow after the jump.
