If you're looking for the Goodwill Outlet near you I suggest checking out this site. (That's what I did prior to the last family road trip! More about that later.) Also, I have a few hints and tips to keep in mind. First and foremost, be careful! These bins are loaded with stuff and there is no organization whatsoever. You could be reaching for an embroidered linen tablecloth and not see the broken glass sitting just underneath it. Broken glass, knives, and sharp objects of all kinds are all over the place so be on the lookout. Some people wear gloves to protect themselves but I find that they just make me clumsy and that I'm safer without them. You'll have to decide what works best for you and go for it.

LOL!!! You described it perfectly! I, too, love "The Bins" and seek them out when I travel. I once found some kind of disgusting substance in the clothes bin in Tucson. I almost never went back! However, at that same outlet I found a perfect vintage handmade quilt. I really wish my home city (in KY) would get one (although, I probably would be way too addicted and end up spending way too much time there!)
ReplyDeleteFinding yuck in the clothes is the absolute worst! And congratulations on that quilt. I always pick up vintage linens and someday I'll figure out just what to do with them all...maybe!
