Welcome to GA!

I am - oddly enough - struggling with shopping at: Goodwill! Urgh. It seems like a popular place down here and things go FAST...for top dollar. My plan to replace furniture we left behind in order to rent a smaller moving truck is not working out as easily or cost-effectively as I had hoped. People in Lake County, IL would be shocked to see that an item of furniture up there for under $10 sells down here for $50 and up here. Oh! And, I almost laughed when I first heard them announce over a loud speaker that new furniture items were coming to the sales floor - with a reminder to give the sales associates time to put everything out. (Ok - yes, I have since seen WHY! Some of those GW employees need hazard pay.)
I have managed to find some "decent" deals after WAY too many trips to WAY too many locations. (I am learning my way around Atlanta via GW locations!) While it has been frustrating, it has also been entertaining. Best experience yet? The young female employee for was having fun wearing (brave girl) a DONATED hot pink wig while putting items on the sales floor. She walked past me and SCREAMED - yes, like REALLY LOUD - "OH.MY.GOSH!!! {gasping} I SO TOTALLY LOOOOOOOOVE YOUR CAPRI BIB OVERALLS!" It was such a ridiculous scene I can honestly tell you I will probably not wear those into a GW store without twitching.
Off to search for a dresser and a bookshelf. Wish me luck! :)
