Castleton Goodwill - Girls Holiday Dresses

I stopped by the Castleton Goodwill (near the mall) yesterday and noticed they had several really pretty little girls holiday dresses! If you are looking for a holiday dress on a budget for your little girl - now is the time to keep a look out at Goodwill and the local consignment shops! Dresses at Goodwill are only $3.99.

I have noticed that the selection really varies from one Goodwill to another depending on location. I have found a good selection at the Southport location and at the Castleton location. There is also a new location on County Line Rd in Greenwood - near the Wal-mart.

When you shop at Goodwill - check to see if there are carts with new merchandise sitting around and check them! I found my son a practically new, perfect pair of warm winter boots for only $2.99 on a cart. These boots would not have lasted on the shelf - they were a great deal!

Aldi Deal Alert!

I stopped by Aldi (East Washington St - just west of Shadeland Ave.) and found some great deals!


Milk $1.49 - gallon

3 - lbs apples in bag - $1.19 (that's only .40 a lb!)

Large Eggs $ .89 dozen


Of course Aldi is a great place for many of your staple items too like flour and sugar. Since I am pretty well stocked up and didn't need any meat, I was able to get most of the items we needed for the week for only $30.

Coats For Kids

If your children are in need of warm winter coats and if you cannot afford to purchase them, you will be interested in the "Coats for Kids" distribution going on tomorrow at the Indianapolis Fairgrounds from 8 am to 4 pm.

Here is some information from the WTHR website:







"This year, the Coats for Kids distribution will take place on Saturday, October 10th from 8 a.m. until 4 p.m. in the Northwest Pavilion at the Indiana State Fairgrounds. Any child who needs a coat will receive one that day. There is only one requirement: an adult must accompany all children and there is a limit of one coat per child. Bilingual (Spanish) volunteers will also be on site to assist non-English speaking families."
