HappyMomMd Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 This is actually my first time posting a topic :) I just had to share my awesome Goodwill score with people who would understand. I just picked up the complete set, books 1-8 including the 1/2 books, of Explode the Code...for $5.00. The whole set for $5.00 in perfect condition!!!! Yay me!!!

Mom2TheTeam Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 WooHoo!!! I love scoring at GoodWill. :hurray: I recently found 18 Let's read and find out science books at my library for $.25 each! I was SO psyched. Yay for good deals!! :party: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A home for their hearts Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Yay! I found an old set of Math U See blocks for $5.00! It didn't have the plastic hundreds flats, it had 3 wooden ones instead. But still a good find! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xixstar Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Very cool, I love those finds. I've found ETC and Singapore Math books. Also got the Making Mathematics Meaningful with the full c-rod set for $5 too. There has been a lot I've skipped on to but names I recognize from here. It sure can be a hit or miss, but those hits are awesome. We usually stop in 1-2 times a week and majority of the time come home empty handed. I have friends always impressed with what I find and insist they never find anything; I agree when they only go once every few months. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got a dinning room table (for our kitchen) a week ago in pretty good condition. It has 2 leaves and will easily seat 8 people, which we have...$17!!! Holy Good deal, Batman! Love it! I've yet to score any REALLY good curriculum books, but I live in nowhere'sville. I'm planning to start going to GoodWill stores as we travel to bigger areas where more money floats around. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's one of those exciting times I do my alone time; that and go to the library alone (as if I'm not there all the time with kids anyways).

strange_girl Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Nice score! I love Goodwill :). I am a confirmed bibliophile and whenever we go I tend to come out with a tall, tall stack of books. Poor DH just rolls his eyes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlessedMom Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 What a wonderful find! Congrats!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allearia Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Last week I got ds a TI- 83 plus graphing calculator for $2.99. Once I bought an actual box of money for $2.99. Some of the money was real but now worthless coins and paper money from around the world, but there were also coins from England and some American quarters, half dollars, and a few dollar coins.

dragonflyer Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 What a great score! The best I have found is the second set of BOB books for $2. But AWANA is starting and DH and I are planning on heading to Goodwill once my oldest is occupied... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Violet Crown Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 I found the rare Landmark History children's adaptation of Xenophon's Anabasis once at Goodwill - http://www.ebay.com/itm/Exploits-Xenophon-Landmark-Rare-/370659086532 - for a dollar.

scbusf Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 That's great! I have found so many great things at thrift stores. Probably my best find was a huge box of math stuff for $3. It was stuff from a public school and it was for the overhead ..... clocks, shapes, dice, and more. I also found the complete set of the BOB pre-readers for something like $5.
