Whirl Wind Thrift Trip

Yesterday was my Birthday. Mrs Epi and I embarked on a whirlwind thrift adventure. I think the above picture says it all. You can find just about anything at Goodwill. We saw a lot but this one takes the cake. These were in the Collectible Section at the largest Goodwill we visited. Several questions came to me and Mrs Epi. First off for inquiring minds, these were priced at $199.99 (seriously). Who shops for prosthetics at Goodwill? I am not sure if I were in the market for prosthetics that Goodwill is where I would start. If you need to shop at Goodwill for prosthetics, I think $199.99 would be out of your budget range. Do people actually collect prosthetics? I am tempted to google that but I am not sure I want to know. Don't do it Mrs Respiratory Therapist aka the Google Queen! I CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH.

We hit about 10 thrift stores in the Northwest Washington Area. We even hit up the glitter and glam event at the Seattle Flagship Goodwill (Dearborn Street Store). Here is our list of the best and the WORST.

THE BEST

Mount Vernon Goodwill

Mount Vernon Value Village

Ballard Goodwill (lots of furniture)

Ballard Value Village

St Vicent de Paul Thrift Store - 13555 Aurora Ave N Seattle, WA 98133 (worth the stop)

Seattle Goodwill Store -Dearborn St (I would like to go back here when there aren't a zillion people)

Heart and Home Thrift Store - Bellevue-this was spur of the moment stop

THE WORST

Everett Goodwill Hoyt Street location. I actually had to hold my breath in there. OH, Mrs Epi had to hold her breath too. It is right across from the Everett Children's Museum. There might be some great finds but couldn't get past the smell. We describe it as a wall of smell.

We also visited the Everett Mall Way Goodwill , Bellevue Goodwill , Value Village on Evergreen HWY99 (not sure on the exact location of this one)too. There were fine thrifts just not knock your socks off great. We finished up our adventures at the Tulalip Casino at the penny slots. A day of thrifting makes you want to let it all ride. Thanks Mrs Epi for a Fab day.
