SAVING YOU MONEY: Wedding Gowns
Rivergate Goodwill
Stacy Case
In Saving You Money, spring is only six days away and with it comes wedding season! We all know how expensive 'the dress' can be. Tonight, a little known secret about where brides to be can get a dress for less.
The latest racks of wedding gowns were donated Thursday afternoon by a local bridal boutique. Hundreds upon hundreds of wedding dresses.
Jamie Berry, Communications Director for Goodwill says, "We have Alfred Angelo, Waters and Waters, Demetria Angelo." 90% of them surplus from Midstate bridal shops which means they're all new.
Newlywed, Ashley Egger says, "Anybody I hear who's engaged.. I recommend it!" Newlywed Ashley Egger bought her bridal gown at the Goodwill Wedding Gala. Yeah, you heard right G-W!
Egger adds, "I got there with a friend around 11pm the night before.. My fiance' came out to see me and the girls and brought us coffee and donuts and was wishing us luck."
Goodwill prices the wedding gowns at 10 to 20 percent of the original cost. Ashley's price? $139.99. This is Goodwill's 4th year selling wedding dresses. Natisha Moultry with Goodwill came up with the idea.
"Some of those dresses cost as much as $5 to $6 thousand dollars. They know they can take that money and spend it somewhere else."
Goodwill has more than 500 wedding gowns and 300 more bridesmaids, flower girl and formal dresses. "I love the flower girl dresses because Easter is on its way and these dresses can be purchased for Easter." Dresses, other than bridal gowns are $30 or less.
Berry has this tip, "Wear a body suit and tank top and leggings so you don't have to wait for a dressing room. You can try them on in the middle of the aisle."
Ashley says she didn't sacrife style or quality and she had money left over for other wedding expenses. "I thought I was going to spend a lot more than I did, but ended up getting a great deal and saved a lot of money."

Tishomingo County voters OK beer, alcohol sales
May 22, 2013 23:38 GMT
IUKA, Miss. (AP) -- Tishomingo County is the latest Mississippi jurisdiction to legalize alcohol sales.
Voters approved the sale of liquor, wine and beer Tuesday, reports the Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal (http://bit.ly/13JCcix).
It wasn't clear referendums would pass until affidavit ballots were counted Wednesday.
With more than half Tishomingo County's voters casting ballots, legalizing alcohol passed by 42 votes, while legalizing beer and light wine passed by 73. The county borders Alabama and Tennessee.
Lawmakers legalized liquor at a proposed resort at the county's Bay Springs Lake in 2010, but it wasn't built.
Greene County voters legalized beer sales last year, while Corinth, New Albany and Senatobia have legalized alcohol sales under a 2012 law that allows cities to hold votes.
Mississippi has 13 remaining counties that allow no beer or alcohol sales.
