Recycled- A visit to Goodwill

I have been a fan of the recycled for years. I noticed a long time ago that clothes almost never wear out. That said, there is really no reason not to go used when buying clothes. I recently visited Goodwill in Chicagoland (Diamond Lake) and purchased 3 new T-shirts for 1.59 each. Now that ain't bad. In the past, I purchased a Nordic-Trac that was like new for $5. I also purchased a bike rack for my car for $4. It was missing two bolts, which I got at Home Depot for about a dollar, and I have used it extensively.
Here is my feeling on things. 1st choice is "get it free". 2nd choice is "get it at Goodwill", 3rd choice is "Get it used on eBay", and last choice is "Buy it new". By buying used we limit the amount of resources put into circulation. Also, getting rid of the clutter around the house should go through a similar process, such as to donate it, yardsale it or ebay it. I am always looking around the house for stuff I don't need. Live simply!
