Goodwill [Orlando FL]

I previously hit a Goodwill in O-Town back in 2015 but I’m 99% sure this is NOT the same one.  Should have had better record keeping to confirm/deny that but it is all I can come up with so you’ll have to roll the dice if you are trying to use this blog as a […]

St. Vincent [Ruskin FL]

I first visited the Gibsonton/Apollo Beach area in April of 2016.  On my last day I wanted to stop here but had trouble finding it.  Well I ended up going back about 1 1/2 years later to work at the same place and this time I went in on my first day when I still […]

Salvation Army, Belvidere IL

I ended up being ‘lucky’ enough to go back to Belvidere four times in just a few weeks and I wouldn’t be surprised if I get another call soon.  On one trip I brought my bike as I had so few tools to bring there was plenty of room in the truck.  I hadn’t planned […]

Bemidji Burn Out

     I visited Bemidji once before not long ago.  As I returned it was warmer out and again I had some free time.  This would be a recipe for a solid hunt if I didn’t feel like I had already dug pretty thoroughly.  But that is always a lie! You have never dug sufficiently! […]

St. Vincent [Livonia MI]

Ah yes, your typical bombed out St. V’s, a spot I checked out during my brief stay in lovely Livonia.  This is the 25th post tagged for St. Vincent so I guess I’ve been to damn near that many.  But yet after all these years, not much has changed.  And that is fine with me. […]

Goodwill [Livonia MI]

Maybe I was due for some good fortune.  I wasn’t off to a good start when I saw all the vinyl stacked bookshelf style but I craned my neck and checked them out as best as I could.  But in the final grouping I spied with my little eye a CTI classic (as my eye was, […]

St. Vincent [Mississauga Ontario]

I’ve already outlined how exhausting my day was going to Ric’s (albeit very rewarding).  But before I decided to pull the trigger on going way out to Port Credit, as I weighed the pros and cons in that shopping mall, knowing that there was a St. Vincent just down the street definitely helped to influence […]

Value Village [Mississauga Ontario]

I have finally been fortunate enough to have the opportunity to take this blog international! I had 4 nights spent in Mississauga while I worked in nearby Brampton.  My first stop here at Value Village was a pleasant accident. I was told we would be working somewhere between 11am-11pm everyday so I wanted to make […]

Goodwill [Woodhaven MI]

Got to make a trip up to Detroit, an area I have almost never traveled to in my decade plus of jetsetting around the midwest and beyond.  We were working out in the middle of nowhere, about 30 min south of Detroit and we were staying in Woodhaven.  Was able to sneak away and check […]

Goodwill [Plainfield IN]

I’ve had a bad habit of neglecting the Plainfield Goodwill while I have showered the Avon Goodwill with attention during my numerous visits over the past couple years.  It wasn’t intentional – the Avon store is right next to my hotel and I honestly forgot there was another one just a couple miles away.  I’d […]
