Smile 2023 Thrift Store Finds

I found a Les Mills Body Combat set. Since it was 50% off, I only paid $1.09 for it. I might put it up on Share the Wealth though. It was too good of a deal to pass up, so if it doesn't work for me, it will probably make someone else happy to get the set.

That is a fantastic find!

Great find!

No luck at mine when I visited but I did organize the exercise DVDs to one section.

I've done that with fitness and exercise books before. Arranging them into sections of various types of exercise. Of course, people paw through them and they get mixed up again.

I organize them all the time when I go. I don't know why they have to get sooooo messed up!!! A lot of them are still there when I reorganize.

The two thrift stores I go to have the workouts in their own section. Of course they do wander, so I put them back where they belong. A couple times I have spent a couple hours looking through the tons of DVDs at Pawn America and once I asked why they didn't categorize them. The employee said people just put them wherever they want and there's no way for staff to keep up with putting them back. Of course, it can also work to their advantage bc as I'm scouring through for workouts I find movies I just have to have!

Vantreesta that is great they categorize them. The thrift stores near me do not except one separates the children's dvds.

Does anyone's Goodwill store categorize books? The one where I go does not. I think they have had the same books sitting there since the location opened last spring! My favorite thrift store does categorize books and they seem to get new ones in frequently.

Sherry, the thrift store I go to most has some of the books in categories. Like they don't have a section for horror but they do separate out sci-fi/fantasy, romance, kids and nonfiction. They're alphabetized though so that helps!

Wow, that is amazing they alphabetize! The one near me has about ten different categories, which I appreciate.

I guess maybe I should say they have them separated by first initial of last name. I'm not sure if some are jumbled within, but it seems like they're pretty much alphabetized anyway!
