We've all talked about finding thrift-store gems while searching through a rack.
Well, I think I can claim to have foiled someone's plot to get some shirts for cheap. I was looking through the Men's XL short sleeve shirts when I hit two long sleeved wool shirts with really nice plaid. They were next to each other, so they stuck out like a sore thumb.
I took them out and they were Pendleton Wool Shirts - size medium. These are really nice (and really expensive) shirts made from 100% virgin wool, and crafted in Oregon. A quick Google search shows them selling from $70 to over $150 depending on where you buy.
So I grabbed them, thinking they would be perfect (eventually) for my nephews who live in the Poconos in Pennsylvania.
But when I brought them home, my older daughter (who's getting packed to head back to college) was there and a quick eyeball showed me that they would fit her. Just the previous night, she had made a statement about liking L.L. Bean stuff, so figured these would be a perfect fit. She tried them on, and she loved them, and she's taking them back to school.
SCORE!
