The price tag says $10.25, which seemed a little steep to me, but the zippers all look to be in perfect condition (old, but perfect!) and I guessed there were about 40 in the bag, bringing the price per zipper to... (...umm...where's my calculator?) about 25 cents each. That's a bargain! I use a lot of zippers in small pouches and bags, and I can use lots of different sizes, so I decided to go for it.
At the counter, the cashier told me "It's half off today"! What?? SCORE!! With tax they were only $5.39! And now that I have the package open, I can see that they are all good zippers, lots of colors and sizes, and best of all, there are 64 of them. Cost per zipper: 8 1/2 cents!
Have you ever found something really great at a thrift store? Tell me, please!

Nice!!!
Yay! My best find was an awesome macramé plant hanger. I had been looking for about 6 months for a specific one. Then I walked into the 2nd hand store and it was right there for $1
zipperific!
i looove thrift stores and goodwill is awesome.
Yes I have found zippers at goodwill not as much as you did. But some fabric that I wanted for a project. I also use old bedding for things, sheets are great for things. And I get a nice soft bedspread for our dog so she can cuddle in it. She loves it. I love going to the thrift stores,they're great for all kind of things. Of course I laundry most everything.

WOW!!!!! What a great find!!! I love finding good things at Goodwill. Make some pretty zipper flowers to go on your bags!!
Wow!! The zippers really are a score! I recently found 2 pounds of cotton roving for $2 which after searching inline goes for about $2 an ounce. I guess I'm going to have to start thrift-store shopping on a regular basis.
