Goodwill hunting...

I've had alot of comments asking which thrift stores I frequent, so I'm posting the secret! I frequent Goodwill almost every chance I get. I'm not in town that often, so I stop by almost every time I'm in Broken Arrow. I know that might sound extreme, but I'm usually only in the store for a few minutes and I can tell easily whether they have anything I need.

Hit the homewares first, as that's where they put the bins when they first bring them from the back. These are the newest items in the store, so I always check there because the items haven't been picked over. Today, on the new bins, I found two large, white china platters. They'll be perfect for the Bunco party.

I also like the How Foundation Thrift Store, and Bearly New if I'm looking for clothes. Again, it just takes a few minutes to make a quick pass through the store, and if there's nothing interesting, I head back to the car. Since the How doesn't mark their items with a price, I feel more inclined to negotiate if there's something I really want. They also offer delivery and set-up, so consider that if you're purchasing anything big, like an entertainment center or desk.
