North Telegraph Road resident Morris Waldman (Left, in one of his signature Goodwill suits) estimates he saves $500 per year on his dry cleaning by simply donating the clothes to Goodwill, then going back a few days later and buying them back, freshly laundered.
“A shirt costs me about $3.50 to get it dry-cleaned,” says the fiscally idiotic Waldman, “But I can buy the same shirt back from the Goodwill, cleaned and pressed, for about $2.00. Ka-ching!”
Waldman says the savings add up when he donates his suits, sports jackets and overcoats. “Most cleaners want about $10.00 for a suit, but if catch an orange tag special, I can get that suit back for $5.00” he says, claiming the secret to super-savings is to catch his clothes on sale. “Sometimes I buy the article back for less than what I originally paid for it! Ka-ching! Morris wins!
“Sometimes I will spot one of my articles of clothing on the rack, so I move it to a less-frequently traveled section of the store so it will get orange-tagged quicker.” He reports it may take longer to get the article back this way, but the longer he waits the bigger the savings.
Doesn’t he have trouble locating all his clothes? “Sometimes, like with my plaid suit last week,” Waldman says, “it may get shipped to another Goodwill. But they always have many plaid suits, so I picked up another one in my size for a song. Ka-ching! Morris wins again!”
And what does Goodwill think of his laundering practices? “They haven’t caught on to me yet.” claims Waldman.
Ka-ching yourself - looks like the cat’s out of the bag.
