Goodwill Hunting

San Marcos Goodwill is a bountiful place where bargain shoppers can find a great buy on everyday items.  This local store features everything from shoes of all colors and styles, pots and various plates to children's toys and even CliffsNotes.

Stickers of bright, neon-colored circles and squares 

flooded the mini isles of drastically marked down items at the Goodwill store.  Shoppers from their late 20's and up were present scanning the different sizes of clothing in the color coded isles.  Even shoes were designated where they would sit by specific color regardless of size.  Here it seemed you had to be lucky to find your size in the item you were looking for because there was only one of its kind.

Walking towards the back end of the store, books and movies of all sorts that were not alphabetically placed consumed the entire back

wall.  Childhood memories clouded my thoughts upon observing the very same books and nursery rhymes that were read to me as a child.  CliffsNotes were even present among the bunch of memorable readings, and at only .99 cents a pop proved to be a bargain. 

Kitchenware were the only seen duplicated items neatly stacked side by side and arranged on shelves among the entire stock.  Tape was placed over matching arrangements to avoid lessening the value of the complete set.

One would imagine a Goodwill couldn't possibly have matching table sets, shoes of all sorts or even fluffy bears for children at just $2.99, but truth be told they have a lot to offer at ridiculously low prices and more.
