Ratticus Finch: GOODWILL CLEARANCE OUTLET MACHINE

Hey los bubs os! We are here to tell you about thrifting at the AMAZING Goodwill Clearance outlet on 6505 Burleson Road, in Austin, TX, and how we like to do that!

Gug got a J.Crew shirt for Christmas/Hannukah/Kwanzaa/Ramadaan/Festivus/etc. from her darling sister, Coco! Rat purchased glasses of the sun. Green.

We always(and advise you to) begin Goodwill Clearance outings (of which we have had only one)with an unofficial Goodwill Clearance specialist, like our pal, Eva Guevara. (She was helpful because we had never been to the Goodwill Clearance Outlet Store Center before, she had, and we needed moral support going into the abyss of the unknown called anything we'd never done before)

Here she is explaining hemispheres. Do east and west hemispheres exist on our Earth, children?

We finally mooched a ride to the Goodwill Clearance Outlet Store, and while we rode in a parent's fashionable minivan, this very blog post marinated in our brains. It was a nice oily blend with a touch of loud saffron threads and freshly ground pepper. It soaked in the sauces of the world.
Here the famed Goodwill Clearance Outlet Store is, below!

When thrifting in general, it's always good to feel the fabric of whatever you're looking at, and look for interesting things that could be altered (if you think like that). Everything at this Goodwill is $1.39 per pound, so there's no real need to check prices here unless you are a really small mouse with short-term memory loss, in which case you would probably live inside of a hat underneath a pile of bananas and caterpillars anyway.

Also, when thrifting, one should bring two important things: millions of patiences for sifting through the mediocre (this can be made easier if you are a tortoise or if you are with a very entertaining friend pal), and a general knowledge of what you are looking for. Or a knowledge of what you like so you don't find yourself with a cart of unwanted dreck and other things that make you regret spending monies. When you find something, to see if you really and genuinely like it, look around in your brain with a spoon and try to picture yourself wearing it. What wear with, bub? What wear to, bub? What else, bub
This is why we advise the concept of going to a fairly more expensive store of which you adore the general aesthetic, for inspiration before you go thriftin'. We went to this newish store on south congress for this purpose, the sign of which Rat took an arty picture of! (that is above-ish). Co Star had a lot of negative space (THE LAST FRONTIER), WHICH WAS GOOD. We also went to stores called Maya Star, and Tesoros, all on South Congress.

Lampshades can make great impractical hats!

Nevertheless, we found multiple baby aprons which we did not buy.

We also found colorful rabbit-gone-through-a-lawnmower fabric which Eva nodded sincerely at, and we also did not buy it, though Bus persisted in petting it.

Many items were strewn into our highly exclusive cart, which we fought many lions and elephants and carrots to reach, by the way. Them peoples kept saying, "Keep that buggy there if you please!"
Well, there was some of that sentence in their sentences, but they did call it a buggy, which Bus enjoyed.

Our vat of clothing only cost 18 dollars total, and this included 3 pairs of shoes (one being cowboy boots), many heavy sweaters, and many other things.

We'd like to take a moment to acknowledge disco balls and donkeys and disco donkeys.

But we won't.

Anyway, fun fun! No bags for us to put our clothings into! No matter at all. Maaaybeee bring your own bag when shopping here (and we advise you do, shop here, that is) like a good Whapsmackpowski.
