Wait… this was at Goodwill?✨

5/3 Edited to

... Read moreThrifting at Goodwill is always an adventure because you never quite know what hidden gems you might come across. When I spotted the Columbia S/P item during one of my visits, I was genuinely torn—sometimes what looks ordinary to one person can be a treasure to another. Columbia is known for durable outdoor gear, so coming across their products in a thrift store is exciting, especially for resellers or anyone keen on budget fashion. Whether it’s jackets, fleeces, or other apparel, these pieces often hold up well and can be easily resold or incorporated into your wardrobe. From my experience, the key to making the most of Goodwill finds is to check for quality and condition closely. Look for stitching integrity, fabric wear, and any signs of damage. Even if an item needs a little cleaning or minor repair, the value can still be high if it’s a reputable brand like Columbia. Another tip for thrifters is to think about the potential for a thrift flip—transforming an item into something trendy or refreshing its style. It’s an excellent way to combine creativity with side hustle opportunities. Personally, I find that the thrill of deciding whether to keep or pass on an item like this adds to the fun of thrifting. It’s not just shopping; it’s a treasure hunt! The community around #goodwillfinds, #thriftflip, and #reseller is full of passionate people sharing tips and fantastic finds, making the experience even richer. So next time you see a Columbia S/P or similar item at Goodwill, consider its brand reputation, condition, and how it fits your style or resale goals before making your choice. Happy thrifting!

I can’t believe I found this at Goodwill
I was SO shocked I found this at my goodwill. I’ve heard that it’s very underrated considering it’s her older series. I’m wishing there would have been a book 2 or 3 with it but to even find this one was crazy enough. I just recently started checking books at the thrift and I’ve been getting pretty

$9 Prada Bag at Goodwill🤔
found a $9 Prada at Goodwill... but the inside was completely ruined… Most people would've passed - I rebuilt it instead. Cut it. stitched it. saved it. Not everything is about resale... some pieces you keep and adore:) #reseller #thriftfinds #thrifted #thriftedluxury #PRADA

Maybe it wasn’t a secret to everyone else and I’ve just been living under a rock but THIS IS MY KIND OF “shopping”. Instead of racks, everything is in huge bins for you and whatever strangers are beside you to vigorously dig through (not exaggerating, my arms were huuuurting). Periodically, new b

I flipped it upside down and sealed the edges with hot glue. Then I filled the bottom with rocks and epoxy. This held everything together and weighted the base. I think it turned out great!!!!

2026 Goodwill best find
I think I worked in Goodwill with my thrift angels that day. I’m still in shock I can’t believe it. People who know me know that I love thrifting. I was trying to slow down a little bit; it had been at least a month since I’d been to a thrift store. But now everything has changed.

How pretty is this book? I found it at goodwill. 99 cents I was really drawn to the cover. I didn’t even realize it was a poem book until I got it home. It’s beautiful! How should I paint the edges? I’m not sure I want to attempt to ruin it if I mess up 😂 #goodwillbooks #poems #book
