Another tip to shopping Salvation Army is to find out which color tag is on sale. Each week select stores place a different color price tags on sale- usually 50% off all items with sale tag color. So my knit dress, originally from Bergdorf, was reduced from $6.99 to $3.50- less than cost of a White Chocolate Mochachino.
The biggest tip to shopping a Salvation Army, is to shop it like you would a regular store. If it doesn't fit right, don't buy it. You don't want to end up with a closet full of items that are will be returned right back to store.
Last but not least, make sure you know best days to shop your local Sally store. The best days to shop Salvation Army is week day- head over during your lunch hour. Wear comfortable shoes, because most Sally stores have hard cement floors.
The power of a good Salvation Army extends past yourself and into local community surrounding store. Sally stores help support activities of SalVation Army organization, which provide a wide range of social services to community. So while looking fashionable, you are also supporting your community. That is real shopping power.
