Yes, the Purple Cow is still around BR, and they do have some nice stuff. They just opened a new location on Perkins/Acadian near Juban's (I think where the old Eckerd Drug store used to be).
Goodwill is ok; in Baton Rouge I like going to St. Vincent de Paul stores.

My entire set of golf clubs came from Goodwill.
King Cobra irons, Big Bertha woods, Callaway putter. $25.
I bought a full set (2I-LW) of Ping Eye 2 Black Dots the next day at the same place for $25.
Traded the Pings for a set of three Cleveland wedges and $200.
Went out and bought a bag for $100.
It wasn't until I bought my new driver last year that I had more money invested INSIDE the bag than the actual bag itself.

I'll go periodically. I try to find cheap pottery or china to blow up at the gun range.

I'll go once in a blue moon for DVDs for the kids. Really don't have the patience to sift thru racks for the really good scores. I think the goodwill by my house must monitor Craigslist for the value of some things. I was looking for a two channel stereo receiver for my patio/outside area, and they were charging 40-50 bucks. Was hoping to get one for 10-20 bucks. Picked up a new one from radio shack for a hundred.

I am a regular on shopgoodwill.com. I have found numerous antique books for incredibly cheap. I bought a complete series of rare 1923 books for less than $1 per book. The oldest book I found was from 1856 in decent condition for under $5. I also bought a $1,500 clock for only $40. It is an auction like ebay but with far, far fewer people bidding.

I don't donate to goodwill or support goodwill in anyway. They are a fake charity and their 501c needs to be pulled.

That's where 90% of my t-shirts are from. They have awesome t-shirts.

I used to hit them for Halloween stuff.

I only shop resale unless I am forced to buy new due to some situation. I used to shop at goodwill, until I learned that all profits go to the owner/CEO, after expenses.
I have gotten som really good buys resale that I wouldn't dream of buying resale.
Glad to hear you got a good haul.

My first buy at Goodwill was about 24 years ago. I needed a formal and went into shock when I saw retail prices $600+. Found a taffeta ball gown, sort of Scarlett O'Hara, for $12. Alterations were about $25. I was hooked from then on. My husband is an attorney an I'm an RN. We are very comfortably retired and I believe thrift had a lot to do with allowing us to have the retirement we wanted.

often wonder what percentage of the clothes/shoes in there are from deceased people.
Same here. And for some weird reason, it is why I can not do it

I go all the time here in colorado but the stores do get picked over pretty good and I only find good stuff here and there. They have a ton of arcs up here and they kick goodwills arse.
I find a ton of Patagonia stuff and I sell a lot of it on ebay. I sold a fleece I found for $5 at arc for $60 on ebay.
