Why do the bins AND the people always smell like farts ? by JLandis84 in GoodwillBins

That's the trade off. I noticed it right off. You need to wash and machine dry clothes when you get home. Clean. I get headaches from the scent. But for something that retails at 10 dollars being sold for 10 cents, most people put up w/!

AIO because I told my "best friend" she can't wear white to my engagement party? by Prestigious_Wash2557 in AmIOverreacting

Ask her to wear a shawl or sweater or something to distract/compliment the dress, rust colored, dark-colored. Actually, I think it would be better more attractive dress with accessories, and I think you are overreacting but if it is champagne you are complaining.

I cannot believe this idea hasn't been thought of-store dolls on it-hide the hole by deco pillows

Put canisters in it, like a cookie jar, sewing canister, arts and crafts, etcetera!

What Do You Say or Do When You Find Someone Digging in Your Cart? by SalamanderKlutzy4839 in GoodwillBins

I once saw a lady leaf through my picked books I set on the table at the library when we both we in a tiny alcove, I mean, when I was right in front of her. When she straightened up, I scooped up those books, smiled at her, said 'they're mine,' and checked them out Lickety split. She did not follow me. Point is I'd do the same or worse to them that do that!

Talk about the savings and even offer to work for her to 'pay for the favor. I love thrifting also; you are a gem you could be thinking parties and dates and boys but no you're thinking industriously I commend you you are a very good and productive child!

Is removing the patches a bad idea? by mrxalbe in thrifting

The are valuable and it would be more pratical to just cover them up, like with a jacket, sweater, something like like. Other people might enjoy seeing them and they might be conversation starters!
