DMV Trip March 21-29

We traveled to the Washington DC-Maryland-Virgina area for Spring Break. While in the area we visited several thrift stores. Overall, the selection was great but the prices were much higher than in Florida. For instance; our local thrift stores charge $5.99 for every pair of jeans regardless of the brand. In the DMV area, the stores charged according to brands. I saw a pair of True Religion jeans for $34.99 and Hudson jeans for $19.99. The stores seemed to know the value of even less known designer brands, so finding items for resale was much more difficult. The one exception was the Goodwill outlet store in Frederick, Maryland. The somewhat hidden store priced everything at 50% off and had a lot of amazing items for cheap. We found a Diesel brand shirt for 80 cents, vintage Tommy Hilfiger men's carpenter jeans for $3.86, ADRIANO Goldschmied jeans for $2.86, Joe's Jeans for $2.86 and several other great deals. Overall, the DMV area generally expensive, but we found some great deals. Here are some of the finds:
