Goodwill ReUse Centre

Just 20 minutes of walking from my place, I can get to a Goodwill ReUse Centre. This is a place where clothing can be had for $1.99/lb, books for $0.50c, and other people's junk can become someone else's treasure.

The place is not your typical thrift store however. In here, items are placed in bins; then you elbow other "scavengers" and rummage through everything - dust and smell included.

Despite all that, I visit this Goodwill ReUse Centre often. I go there to find interesting things for my photo projects, for the books and magazines, and just for shopping therapy.

Magazines I am sending to a friend = $ 5.00

Knick knacks for my photo projects = $5.75

"Collectible books" for D = $ 3.50
Roald Dahl set, Nine Stories by J.D. Salinger,
Edgar Allan Poe essays and poems, Dune by Frank Herbert

Paid around $12 for all these : new GAP sweater, Tommy Hilfiger shirt,
3 pcs of cloth, large piece of photo backdrop material,
a small purse, lots of books, alphabet blocks.

The only thing I hate - it can get addicting.
