2020 Thrift Store Finds

CharM · 01-05-20, 02:05 PM

So far 2020 hasn't been good to me. I've gone to 3 different Goodwill stores and have come out empty handed. There's plenty of Jillian and yoga as usual, but not much of anything else.

I hope you all have better luck!

I found a 5 disc DVD player with extra speakers for $15.
To have several of my DVDs ready to roll is fabulous!!

Game changer !

Lately I haven't found any DVDs either :-(

My Thrift Store Finds yesterday:

Turbo Jam Cardio Party Mix 2
Ellen Barrett's Super Fast Body Blast
Ravi & Ann-Fat Free Yoga
Lynne Robinson's Body Control Weekly Workout- apparently a compilation of older workouts from the late 1990s and early 2000s
Mari Winsor's Rapid Results Pilates
Robert Ferguson's Volume One Pilates
Yoga Zone: Yoga for Weight Loss

CharM & fanofladvols-- I hope you have better luck next time you go DVD hunting!

Good find! It hadn't occurred to me that I might find a multi-disc player to be handy.

Pam, good finds! I would have snagged a few of those for sure.

what luck! i posted a thread last year that many of Ellen's DVDs from that era were totally jacked up. she hasn't re-issued these, which is the reason for the high prices.

Fortunately for us fitness DVDs are not real popular. Generally they have been on the shelves long enough that I have bought them at 50% off. Only one I listed above was at full price of $2.99.

Taiga · 01-07-20, 11:01 AM

Our dvds just dropped from $4.99 to $2.99 a few months ago. I never purchased unless they were half price. They rarely have fitness dvds anyway. I snagged Tony's 10 min Trainer and a few pilates/Firm dvds over the years but otherwise nothing particularly memorable. I have had better luck with equipment (brand new Malibu Pilates chair, TWO new TRX sets, pilates box and pole, Transfirmer, full size club step, Total Gym with all accessories etc).

I haven’t seen one of those players anywhere for a really long time. Hopefully you will find some DVDs to go along with that soon.

Happy New Year and happy hunting everyone.

This year I have made one visit and found Shiva Rea Creative Core Abs, Hoopnotica level 1 and Leslie Sansone Walk it off and Tone it Up.

My goodwill has purged most of the dvds + cds on the shelves. They probably would have had better luck selling them if the prices were more reasonable (99 cents cds + 1.99 dvds) instead they wanted $2.99+ for dvds.

I did find Bret Hoebel's Spri dvd at dollar tree for $1. I picked it up. Hopefully he doesn't do his awkward breathing. I previewed a little bit and it seems he doesn't do every move which would cut down on all the huffing and puffing.
