Great deals…

I spend one day a week sometimes more helping out volunteering (that word again) at our church’s Thrift Shop. It’s a resale shop wherein donations are sorted out, bad stuff from good priced, stocked and then sold to some unsuspecting buyer. At first all of us thought it would be a small service to the community.

This was many a year ago. Now it’s gotten out of hand. People bring in their stuff by the truck loads. It’s a job and a half separating the good stuff from the bad. What’s amazing is the stuff people donate. I mean there is some really fine stuff, soft good and hard goods. Camcorders, small appliances we even had a household of “NEW” furniture donated.

What’s more amazing is the customer base that weekly shops in the store. Two years ago we had to move into a larger building which we out grew in the first 6 months. And what do we do with the cash income? (No, we don’t try and double it at the local casino…) we give it right back to worthy causes in the entire community. So how do you spend your spare time? I spend mine sorting through used underwear… and very little on blog content. Oh,the joy of retirement.
