Zipper SCORE!

We have a shiny-new Goodwill store here in Williamsburg, Virginia; I have only been in it once before.  Today I decided to run in and give everything a quick once-over, and look what I found--a big bag of zippers!

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!
I think I will have to drop in to Goodwill more often.  They have a ton of traffic in and out of there; who knows what treasures I've missed already?

Have you ever found something really great at a thrift store?  Tell me, please!
