To a place where all the Goodwill Stores send their junk/stuff/treasures that didn't sell in a Goodwill store....
Yep - the Goodwill Outlet Store. Everything is dumped into giant waist high bins. The pickers have to stand behind a line until they roll out an entire row of these bins about 75 feet long. When they open the aisle it's a mad rush - sort of vulture-ish! The real hardcore pickers wear gloves since an encounter with broken glass is a real possibility.
I don't get into the rush...I just mosey down the picked over aisles....and if you're lucky you can score a pink Christmas tree or some forsythia stems or a new bestseller. Has anyone else ever seen a Goodwill outlet store? I found this one just by chance...I don't think it's advertised or many people know about it. So now the secrets out - but I just had to share this with all my blog buddies! xoxo Nancy
P.S. Take your gloves!!!
Where is this place? I assume it's in Austin? Inquiring minds want to know lol. Kathy
