We redistributed a metric ton of stuff around the city: puzzles to the little free puzzle library on S. Dose St, good kids clothes and toys to Wellspring on Rainier Ave S, and everything else to Goodwill. And then we came home with: T-shirts for the kid, mini backpacks for mini backpack business, the missing blue egg cup for my (thrifted) Williams Sonoma pastel egg cup set, and some mason jars. A fair exchange.

Needing to do my homework versus outlining a new blog series about how thrift stores are getting gentrified and it鈥檚 hurting everybody.
My family and I tend to "rent" things long-term from thrift stores.
We find something we need/want, purchase it for a very reasonable price, refurbish it if needed, use it for a while, and then put it right back in the donation pile.
Sometimes, they still have the original price tag on them 馃槀
Found this nifty piece of kit at the local Value Village, tucked among piles of old Amazon Echos. There were two but my budget currently only allows for small purchases so I opted for this one. The model is a BF-R3, I know next to nothing about Ham stuff but I'd love to learn.
