| I chose all except appliances because I'm not confident with buying anything electrical for safety reasons and jewellery (but this would be mainly earrings!). I wouldn't normally checkout toys/games but I did pick up a really nice wooden chess set a few years ago for DS and I to use

| I chose the first 3.We help out with the raising of our grand daughter,,I dont see how any parent can pass up a thrift shop for play clothes etc.They go through them so fast.I am planning on making a playroom/craft room in the small bedroom ,saw some costume looking clothing at the thrift shop,,the grand daughters love to dress up and play make believe.
OOps..I did buy a few dressers there before,,forgot about them! |

| Well, maybe you can guess, but I checked them all  Not sure if this falls in toys/games but I found a vacumn packed tube of tennis balls among many other items at a Savers thrift store, and as soon as I walked in the door, my dog was digging into the bag for those balls, I made him a very happy pooch

| I have purchased clothing (mainly) and some books.
Our Thrift Store has household items, but I dont normally go in that section.
