We have found the following items from the goodwill.
#1 Best item so far the Delonghi Cafe Nabucco Espresso machine. All parts working and in amazingly good condition. We paid 2.99 for this bad boy and I have made about 30 lattes with it. Anyone have any good recipes for lattes? The hazelnut and vanilla is getting a little old.
#2. USB Foam dart rocket launcher. This very expensive item set us back a whopping .99 cents. It worked and after a fresh set of batteries and a free driver download I was shooting foam darts at the kids.. Always amusing.
#4. Nintendo DS. Yup found one for $50. This one was actually our worst buy. I say that because I had to replace the touch screen (2.00 for the screen and 1.50 for the tool) so it came in at only a little cheaper than a used purchase at gamestop. Still not a bad purchase nonethless.
#5. A palm zire, $10.00. All cd’s, a carrying pouch, and all the cables to go with it. My kids broke it after a month.
#6 Board games. these never cost over a $1.00 a piece and include the following (almost every game had all it’s pieces.) Cadoo for kids, Zingo, Twister (in a vintage 1964 box), Life, Thomas the train, connect four, and something else I can’t remember. All in all we saved over $50.00 verse buying these new.
Books. OMG I love books, and I have picked up all kinds of books from the Goodwill. Most I got at a 3 for $1.00 sales so they really broke the bank. I found college and highschool textbooks, a writers guide (I’m still working on that one
), The choose the sex of your baby book, and countless others.
We’ve found lot’s more treasures that we couldn’t figure out how to move so we had to leave em ( I need a truck). But the Goodwill is a great place to find some real bargains.
Good treasure hunting,
Aaron
