Sometimes you can find some good bargains in the Goodwill Store, but there are some perils you have to watch out for inside. Here’s what happened to me one day.

The Goodwill Store

 

I went into the Goodwill Store with Pam one Tuesday and it happened to be Seniors day or 25% off on all their purchases. Well, I happen to qualify as a senior so I did a little serious digging. I found a brand new wireless Bluetooth speaker for my IPad for $4 which I jumped right on for the senior price of $3, I looked it up on Amazon.com when I got home and the new price $65 plus shipping. I use it on trips for my Spotify music.

There was a pile of LP 33 1/3 rpm vinyl records laying on the shelf in the back and I got to looking at them. There were four Bob Wills, four Ernest Tubb, four Hank Willams Sr, four Webb Pierce, and one Beetles original albums all in mint condition in the pile which I jumped on like a fly on doody. The 13 records cost 35 cents each. In my record books at home the 13 albums had a combined value of over $600 dollars. I plan to sell them on eBay.

I had lost my watch a couple of weeks before and they had a nice looking Cole D’Azur watch in the front jewelry case for $2, so I decided to take a chance on it for $1.75. I took it to Walmart and had a $3 battery put in it and it worked like a charm. I looked up the watch on Amazon and it listed for $80 dollars new.

Nice watch for $4.75 total cost. I wore it for a couple of months until I got a new one for Christmas. It’s now my standby.

 

 

I found so many good deals I was worn out and I went to the back of the store and sat in one of the two easy chairs back there to wait for Pam. While I was sitting there this old man about 80 walked up and started looking at paperback books on the wall to my right. He reached up to get a book on the top shelf and then it started. It was the best machine gun fart I had heard in years. It went “pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, ………..” for a full thirty seconds. The old man never flinched or looked back, he just kept on looking at the books on the shelf.

A few minuted later this huge lady walked in front of me and I could hear a Hisser slipping out from between her butt cheeks as she walked by. She turned her head back and grinned at me about the same time that awful smell of rotting meat hit my nose choking me up and gagging me.

Wow, something crawled up inside that lady and died. I think she enjoyed watching me gag.

 

 

About the time I recovered from that, there was another lady just on the other side of the children’s clothes rack in front of me sliding clothes on the rack when I heard this very loud Frrrrrrraaaap. I thought ” my gosh, don’t these people have any shame.” as she acted as if she had done nothing.

 

.

After my hour in the Goodwill Store, I concluded you can find some very good bargains in there. But you better wear your gas mask if you plan to get out of there with your nose intact.
