I got a new jacket from the thrift store over the weekend. I paid $6 for what should have been a pretty expensive piece of clothing, in great condition. I was proudly wearing it at school Monday when a student raised his hand and asked me, “Is that a new jacket, sir?”
“Yes, it is!” I replied, “I just got it this weekend. How could you tell?”
“By the blue tag hanging off your shoulder, sir.”
I know, I know, pride goes before a fall. At least the ground was soft.

Hey Elijah,
One of my favorite things to do is to shop at my favorite Italian tailor’s shop, it’s called Salvatore Arme (Salvation Army)….I have found amazing deals over the years. I call it stewardship plain and simple. So blessings on you…as you go trolling for deals…in the future. Yes…sometimes those deals still have the price tags on them. A month ago I was at the Salvatore’s at GaTech in Atlanta, on the way home from an out of town business trip and while there I found an Indelible Grace CD for $ 2.00 in perfect condition. I have lots of Salvatore stories.
