Ha! Now I'm picturing us racing through stores. I didn't take the time to look through equipment, I didn't think I'd last.

we're very fortunate that our GW's and Savers stores are well-managed. i'm pretty sure that they launder all of the clothes because i rarely smell anything stinky. about the only time there was something objectionable was a suit that reeked of moth balls. but other than that, everything's been cleaned.

however, our salvation army stores leave so much to be desired. not only does it usually smell, i see lots of dirty merchandise. the books are really dusty too. needless to say, i rarely go into a salvation army.

I saw this one several weeks ago at a Goodwill. I didn't buy it because I hadn't heard of it and the DVDs are a little pricey at my local Goodwill. I did check if it was there on my next trip and it was gone (of course).

I did buy an unopened Physique57 Classic 57 Minute Full Body Workout a few weeks ago at another Goodwill for $2. I was pretty excited

I could have said the same thing, until I walked in that day. There's never been anything smelly, much less the entire store. I should have asked an employee about it. Oh well, I'll just have to find out the hard way if it's safe to go back.

I just picked up the complete set of Kettlework today. I know they didn't get good reviews but I couldn't resist. I should ask for a Kettlebell now for Xmas

Very rare to find fitness related here but that doesn't stop me trying. This week at my favourite charity store 'Vinnies' with outside racks I found Relax Into Stretch by Pavel Tsatsouline. On the back cover running time is 37 mins and it's a Dragon Door Publication. $3, looks worth a try.
Pilates for Men with Lindsey Jackson $3
I left 2 unopened Pink Firms from Kits, A Fit Ball and a Sculpting Ball Workout.

I bought this set at Ollies for $5 a few years ago.
