My favorite store of all time is Goodwill. I spend many lunch breaks over at the local Goodwill, looking for great deals.
Today, I found a great one. At the Carmel Goodwill I found an like new, never used, Black and Decker 17" electric hedge trimmer (ht1700) for $14.99. Ace Hardware's website has similar ones for $41-46.99
Last year I found an almost like new 2003 Toro ccr2450 Snowthrower with electric start, that only needed a plug and gas, for $69.99 at the Westfield Goodwill. At that time the same model was selling new for $550. I used it all this winter, and it more than paid for itself clearing my neighbor's driveways.
My other good finds are:
A brand new, still in the box, $150 Canon printer / scanner for $19.99
A nice leather recliner for $25 that only needed one $0.33 bolt replaced
A $60 digital TV converter box for $5.99
A large steel filling cabinet with 3 drawers on one side and "safe" on the other for $25
Several nice Aiwa home stereo systems for around $20 each
What have you found?
