These opportunity stores are great. I have never seen one so complete. In my country, Venezuela, some time ago there were second hand stores (almost all for profit), very specialized. So, you could find antique stores, clothing stores, vinyl record stores, appliance stores, furniture stores; but never (as far as I know), there was one so large and diverse. I think it's great that the funds raised are used for charity, that's very good. Here the NGO's and similar institutions used to make what is called verbena or vendimias, which are days of sales of items, which usually last between 1 and 3 days.
Thanks for sharing this interesting alternative. Greetings and happy new year 2022.
Yes, these ones are so great to have for so many people!
Most of the church based charity opshops here are tiny little things, so when people walk into Savers, they are astounded at the size and you can spend literally all day in there and still not see everything that they have!
It's really an amazing place in so many ways!
I love going there! as it's such an adventure and a great insight into history too cause I know that there are many antiques that go through them too, so you never know, that thing that you just bought for $2 could be worth thousands...
So glad that you enjoyed this post and I hope that you and your family and friends are too having a great start to a prosperous and happy new year!
