Every other Saturday is marked on our calendars (the females in my family). We all know which ones are Goodwill Half Off days. They don't catch us unaware. We sense them approaching. At least one day prior, and occasionally two or three, we begin to ask one another if she plans to go.
We may not all ride together or even leave home at the same time, but we do try to coordinate a route and eventually rendezvous at a particular location.
There is a joy in locating items that we think one of the others will desire. Excitedly we place it in our cart as we continue around the store, until we meet up. Sometimes the selected item is chosen because we know it is NOT what they would want, but definitely makes us laugh.
My mom and I choose little oddities and sneak them into one another's carts undetected and then linger close by to see the reaction when the item is noticed. She started this little game and I've joined in.
