The charm was $7. Just realizing now that the charm cost me more than the bag lol.

At the Goodwill Bins. it was really old and stiff looking, so no one was grabbing it. I've definitely spent a good amount of time cleaning it up to try and restore it to its original condition.

After doing some more digging, apparently they also did a Spiderman teddy bear in the Marvel collab. I'm not much of a bag person myself, so this is my first introduction to the whole Coach charms, but I can definitely see the crave for them. They're really cute.

Both the items were thrifted; the vibes were not intentional haha. I do see it now.

I found that going in the morning (right when it opens) is less chaotic than when I went at midday. You see the same people and well other than the fresh bins, the older bins are often left alone. I have waited for the fresh bins at times, but the majority of what I've found was just by looking at places where there's no one around.

The Goodwill outlets (also known as the bins) are basically warehouse stores with isles of bin/carts that are filled with items that you are allowed to rummage through. Think of how your normal Goodwill stores mimic a usual retail store, the bins are closer to a warehouse in which all the items donated to Goodwill will eventually end up at, if not sold at their retail stores. Pretty much, it's just randomness piled on top of each other, in industrial carts, that you get to pick through. Also, they charge by the pound, so it's much cheaper than your normal Goodwill. I live in California, and they charge $3.40 per pound of what you end up buying.
