Goodwill SA: Valentine’s Day on a Budget
Now, these are fun shoes…and, yes, I found them at GOODWILL SA! Perfect for Valentine’s Day coming up this weekend! I know it is sometimes difficult to justify the expense of an evening out on Valentine’s…especially for those of us who have seen many celebrations over the years. But, you know, with Goodwill around it is easy to plan a spontaneous, fun, romantic evening at home.
Why not set a table with a theme? The dishes at Goodwill are vast and some truly beautiful. You do not need a complete set for one special evening…just purchase what is needed for a candlelight dinner for two!
I found these gorgeous champagne flutes which were like new and just 99 cents each. Also, wine glasses are a beautiful way to set a table with romantic votive candles inside.
Don’t forget all of the delicate tea and coffee cups. These are perfect for a floral setting to take to a friend who may not have a significant other.
After dinner, pop some popcorn in this “like new” popcorn maker and snuggle on your couch for a romantic movie. How much fun is this to have around the house?
GOODWILL GIVES BACK to our community with jobs, job training, and veterans assistance. I am proud to join their blogging team again this year. And, everyone knows I love a good treasure hunt. I found this fun denim jacket just for me!!
No matter your budget, you can always be creative and celebrate a holiday with GOODWILL SA around!
Linking up with WAKE UP WEDNESDAY LINK PARTY…WONDERFUL WEDNESDAY LINK UP
I love a good thrift shop – I went into one in our town the other day and came out with a beautiful vase that cost me $8. It currently has pride of place on my sideboard (right in front of my new wallpaper!)
I LOVE shopping at Goodwill. I wish there was one close to me. When I go out of town on trips, I almost always see if I can swing by for a quick look. Those shoes are great!
'Great tips! I think being thoughtful and kind to your sweetheart can make every day Valentine's Day! 😉 -Marci @ Stone Cottage Adventures
Great post, Pam. We rarely go out to dinner for V-Day – too crowded and pricey. But an evening at home can be romantic too : >

Yesss! Great find in those shoes. Thrift shops are the best. I love the hunt, too.
That's what I love about it, Leanne…you just never know what surprise you might find. I think it is so much fun!
We have awesome Goodwills in San Antonio…so if you are ever here, Tania…let me know and I will escort you to some amazing thrift shopping.
Well of course it can, Marci! Something good for all of us to remember!
I know…I would much rather enjoy home on the actual day than fight crowds…I feel that way about Mother's Day lunch as well, Patti! Thanks for the encouragement!
So do I …the hunt is everything and it is one of my ways to unwind and take my mind off of stress! Thanks for stopping by and commenting!
Great ideas, Pam! I rarely go to Goodwill, but after seeing this post, I might pop into one.
Pam I am like you and can really unwind when stopping at a GOodwill, we have a brand new one close by. Thanks for sharing your post and link back as well on Oh My Heartsie GIrls Wonderful Wednesday!
Have a great week and Happy Valentines!!
PS The shoes are adorable!! Love T-Straps
Hi Pam! Im a new reader and enjoy your fashion tips! I love the thrift stores and often post my finds on my instagram. Great find on that jacket! I had some great finds this week too…need to get those posted. Anyway…enjoying your fun blog abd wanted to say and introduce myself. I blog from beautiful Charleston so come on by sometime!
I will stop by! Thanks for reading and for saying hello! Have a wonderful rest of the week!
What fun finds, Pam! The popcorn maker would be so much fun to have. 🙂
I think so too, Andrea! If I still had kids at home, I would have taken it home! It was in mint condition!
It's all about the thrill of the hunt!
So true, I love dropping in every now & then to see what they have and always walk out amazed.
Love the idea about the dinnerware — I had never thought of doing that. Thanks!
