$1.99 brand-new Mossimo bikinis at... the Goodwill Store?

My son’s desire for some Hawaiian shirts to wear this summer led us to the Goodwill Store today in Huntley, Illinois. And, while he found three shirts at great prices today, my daughter also scored some brand-new Mossimo bikinis, with the tags still on them… for $1.99 each?! Oh, yes!

Here’s a tip that I don’t think I’ve blogged about before. At least here in Illinois, Target clearance merchandise often ends up at the local Goodwill stores after it has reached the 75% off clearance point and still didn’t sell at Target. The Huntley Goodwill Store has a large display of brand-new Mossimo bikinis, tags still on them, all marked $3.99 each. A sign on the display notes that each bikini piece is Buy One Get One Free, so you can get both top and bottoms for that price.

But today, June 23rd, the Huntley Goodwill location is also having a 50% off all clothing sale! That drops the price of a bikini top or bottom to just $1.99… and you get the second piece FREE too!

Goodwill’s always fun to bargain-hunt at, but when you can score brand-new merchandise at a fraction of what it originally sold for? We couldn’t walk into Target and buy a Mossimo bikini for under $2.00!

I do not know if all Goodwill locations are doing the 50% off clothing sale today, or if it’s just Huntley, but if you’re up in McHenry County and need a new bikini, this price would be hard to beat! They have a lot of stock in large and extra-large sizes, though there are some smalls and mediums too if you dig. They’re on a free-standing display at the front of the store, and there are four bins of bikini tops and bottoms all around the display (seriously, as of about a half hour ago, there are easily 50-70 bikini tops and bottoms there.) Most of them are solid black, or black-and-white stripes or polka dots, though there are some teal print and pink print bikinis too.

And, yes, my son DID find some tropical/Hawaiian shirts today too!

All of the boys’ shirts are priced at $1.99, and with 50% off, we paid just .99 each for these. Score! Big thanks to the readers that suggested thrift-storing for tropical summer shirts :)

A high end resale boutique in my area donates all merchandise that hasn’t sold within 30 days to Goodwill, bet a lot of others do too. More people should take advantage of resale shop prices. They are very picky about quality so most items are new or in like new condition. Merchandise is usually nicely sized and sorted for your convenience.

Donate the merchandise that doesn’t sell in their stores to the goodwill store.
