Red face Getting good deals

I love getting good deals. I always shop at Goodwill, Ross, and other stores like that.. sometimes all they have is crap, but sometimes you can get a great deal.
I'm a senior in college and am getting ready for the upcoming job fairs, so I needed a suit. I managed to find one at Goodwill for $5 that wasn't an ugly 80's one, and another one at Ross for $20. The only defects with these is that the jacket from Goodwill is a little long (I'm going to hem it up), and the skirt is a little short; and the one from Ross has a tiny stain that is fixable.
Do you guys have any luck finding good stuff at stores like these? sometimes its hard to find good stuff when its stuck in with all the other junk in there...

You can never beat a good garage, moving , yard etc... sale! Bartering is half the fun. I have trouble paying full pop for anything. Even when I travel abroad barter barter barter. Even in chain or big box stores you can barter there also.
I love deals!!!!
