Crapola of Clothes For Free!!



Recommended Posts

Ok, I may regret doing this if it becomes a headache, but...

Our local goodwills and stuff have been 'not taking donations' since before Xmas, and I've been going through clothes like nuts. I have literally been THROWING AWAY clothes. It's emberassing, I hate that. I am not going to sell them though because.. 1. I don't want to do garage sale 2. Don't want to be responsible for someone paying on ebay for used clothes and not liking it because it may have cat/dog hair and/or smoke smell.

However, I have a lot of trashbags of clothes I haven't been able to throw out, I was taught that's wasteful, and I had hoped local places would start taking donations again.. no luck and I need the room.

So, I am going to compile a big list of pics of clothes I have to get rid of. Some have only been worn once, and some (very few) for years, but I won't put anything in the list that I think no one would want.

I'm going to compile the list, and it's free.. first come first serve, all I ask is that you pay for the shipping, which you can do via paypal or write me a check! I ship from work, which is discounted, so it is quite cheap, but I do have to reimburse the company for the shipping charges.

There's all kinds of things, from pants, tops, sweaters, hella cute knee-length cardigan that took me 2 years to decide to spend the $$ for and then I could wear it only once before I got too small (I really lament about this one.) From sizes 24-18.

If you want to get the e-mail with all the pics/info please send me a PM with your e-mail address. It won't be a spammy thing, I'll send it out once and if you want something let me know what. If it's already taken, I'll let you know.

I do have 3 long haired white cats, a boxer dog and me & DH smoke. The items will be clean, but I know some people are sensitive to those things, so keep that in mind :thumbup:)

Im not sure where you live but if the weather is nice why not try and have a yard sale to get rid of the clothes and you can make a little money? I did this last summer with a friend and we both did really good. Im planning to do it again this summer and I have already started to collect bins of too big clothing.

good luck

As I said in my first post, I don't like the idea of garage sales :tt1:)

I don't want to feel bad selling something to someone and they end up not liking it, and they're my neighbor. I want to just donate them, but some reason goodwill is too good to receive donations for a while now.

You don't have clothing drop bins in your area? We have them all over back home and here. That is odd.

Weird request can you snap a pic or two of some of the cloths (that cardigan your talking about sounds like something I have been searching for!!!) I am very tempted but I am a visual creature:lol:

The drop off bins (tables) have signs on them that say "NOT TAKING DONATIONS AT THIS TIME".

I don't know, I never saw this before, but it's been like that a while. I guess not enough people are buying, they are overflowing out of their stores.

Yes Kat, PM me your email addy just so I have it in the list and don't forget to include you!

The cardigan is so pretty, it's creme and semi-sheer with long renaissancy flowy ruffle sleeves and corset-laces up the back. I oogled it 2 years, then finally decided to fork out the cash for it (size 24) and I was barely a 22 at the time, it is so large on me it's ridiculous. Not for lack of trying, on several occasions I tried to pull it off, but it does NOT look good when it's too big.

I PMed you my email addy .. and OMG that sounds EXACTLY like what I have been looking for .. *dies* Like I said can you PM me some pics?

*bounces up and down* pwetty pweety pwease?!?!?!?!? As my son would say with cherries and snails on top?!?!?!?!?!?

*edit in* My mom and I are both wanna be tailors (with both of us being big we had to learn :tt1:) and my tailor works with formal wear all the time so if I can't (or don't have the confidence) she definitely can make it work for me.

You could always have Free Sale too. It's like a garage sale but you don't charge any money.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
