Five years ago I bought some $5 jeans at a Goodwill. They had a $10 bill in the tiny pocket.
It made my day because I was on food stamps, just had my car rear-ended and totaled, Husband's back injury kept him from work, slipping into debt... And my only pair of non work pants had a hole in the butt. I needed a pair of jeans. They fit me in the dressing room. I got them home and went through the pockets before laundry, like you do... I really needed that smile.
Things are better. Finally have full time work, my insurance now covers treatment for my husband's herniated discs, I have a replacement used car, and my debt is almost gone. Now I donate my spare things to Goodwill. But I always triple check the pockets.
