Occasionally I find the need to get a good second hand bargain and head here to Volunteers of America. Sometimes you just want to see clothes organized by color, you know what I mean? I usually visit when I think the pickings will be good, like after the first warm week in spring when I know people have been sorting through their closets or maybe after Christmas when the old toys are replaced with new. I look mostly for cheap books I can read at my leisure and return to the drop box on another day and I always keep an eye for carnival glass that some young kid has unknowingly donated when they moved grandma into the nursing home.
