2020 Thrift Store Finds - Page 9

manleym · 03-12-20, 01:03 PM

I've heard good things about Pursuit of Happy Hips, so it's going on my wish list.

The coupons say "redeemable in store" so you can't get them online.

You can sign up for their emails and they occasionally send online coupons. They typically aren't as good as the in-store coupons though.

Just want to post to say I miss this thread! I love reading about all the great fitness bargains VFers find at thrift stores. Who knows when we'll be able to get back to thrifting.

Think of all the people now cleaning out closets and shelves in their houses. The thrift stores may be a gold mine of fitness DVDs and equipment when we can shop there again!

I did a major clean and purge before all this hit, in preparation for getting new carpet in most of my house. I dropped off several car loads of donations at the thrift store. I told DH how GLAD I was to have gotten it all finished before the shut downs! Now I'm enjoying a perfectly tidy house (fingers crossed that it lasts)!

So it's not just me! Just today I was thinking about how much I missed Goodwill. Pam, I like your thinking. I hope there will be lots of new things when we get back.

I LOVED reading about people's finds...I like your optimism, Pam.

There's a Forbes maxim that goes: A happy wedding: The wedding of optimism and energy.

That describes us in a thrift store one day again!

I found a Mitch Gaylord buns workout along with his weighted ball and a set of pushup handles :-) Don’t have any of his workouts and am looking forward to trying this one. I’ve never used push-up handlebars, but I’ve seen Cathe use them in her workouts. Am curious as to what difference it will make.

Ohhh, I miss going to the thrift store to look for workouts!

The Goodwills in my area have opened up again, at least some of them. I haven't looked for any workouts though!

I am looking forward to this--I had been due for a Goodwill trip pre-covid, so I am excited to go!
