The Salvation Army

No joke, this Salvation Army straight up had a Porsche 911 the last time I visited the store. It was white, and had about 150,000 miles on the puppy and Salvation was asking $ 19,000. There was not a single person who walked in or out of the store that didn’t pause to look at the beauty. I didn’t know that people actually did donate their cars for a tax break, none-​the-​less a Porsche.
Anyway, this was a great ploy to get my boyfriend into the store. I am lying actually, he likes going here because he always says that he likes to find good deals on clothes, but once we get in and smell the musty mess, both of us have no interest in shopping. Wait a minute, I just figured it out! What a sneak… Thinks he can make me not want to shop… I’ll show him!
Anyway, where was I, yes, so this Salvation seems to be a little cheaper than the one in Boulder. It could be that this location is somewhat in the industrial ghetto… with yet another halfway house sharing its parking lot. But yes, cheaper prices.
They always seem to have tons of couches and office desks. A good find is a file cabinet for $ 3 or a roller chair for $ 5. I always find cool kitchen goodies, like skillets, metal mixing bowls, and once I found a crème bullet culinary torch, but this last time I found decorative pillows and underwear. Just kidding on the underwear part, but I wanted to see if you were really reading.
* Star one is for selling cars, and a Porsche at that
** Our second to first star is awarded to Salvation for their creepy and isolated location, which helps to find little goodies that have yet to be quickly snatched up
*** Our friendly star number three is for Salvations Flipper and Green Appeal: Taking used and grungy and making it fashionable… Just like Nirvana
**** Our fourth is handed to Salvation for their ability to let me drop of my bag of don’t-wants and make it someone’s I want
Hey, don’t give me attitude for taking the fifth star away… I took it away because the musty smell in there always cuts my trip short… and no shop-​a-​holic likes to be forced to cut their shopping time down.
