I LOVE Goodwill, Children’s Hospital of the King’s Daughters, Out of the Closet, Jewish Council Women’s Thrift, Salvation Army... the nice thing about living on the edge of Beverly Hills is the stuff the rich old matrons donate to thrift stores. I almost never buy anything new.
I live outside of a major college town, and we also have our share of wealthy families. It really can be a gold mine at certain times of the year. The amazing things the college kids leave at the curb when they’re moving out at semesters is mind-boggling. New TV sets, new microwaves, new furniture; anything dorm-related.
Some around here make a living scavenging off of those kids alone, LOL!
