My mother is a "treasure hunter" for the goodwill, salvation army places too. She calls it rag pulling. She has found some nice stuff. New clothes with tags still on them, for pennies. working appliances and jewels (costume) that suit her nicely. I used to cringe when she would take us there as kids, but now can see her obsession. She is good at being thrifty, and shopping there helps her be able to shop. She wouldnt have half as much fun in the big name stores.
