I’m from Flint. I remember when it was a busy, bustling city with beautiful shops and lovely families lining the streets downtown. I’ve shopped that Goodwill store more times than I can count and worked at Genesee Valley Mall. It makes me so sad to see all the poverty and blight that now exists in my childhood home. I spent many years running a summer feeding program in a downtown park and working at an after school program at The Salvation Army. There will always be a special place in my heart for Flint.

I shopped at a thrift store in a city called Hemet. It's a desert city in Cali. I found 2 paintings of Angelina Jolie. They were huge paintings in gold frames. They were painted by a popular artist who draws portraits of celebrities. Just a plain painting goes for $500. One of them of Jennifer Love Hewitt went for over $10k. These paintings has to be worth a couple of $1k or even more. People were following me asking if I was going to buy them. They were extremely heavy and I was carrying them as tight as I can. I still own them to this day and refuse to sell them.

Before thrifting and flipping thrift store finds became popular I found some wonderful brand new with the labels still on clothing at our good will and thrift stores. My favorite light jacket that I found was my Eddie Bauer green wool zip up for $4.99. Tags on. I love this jacket and the way its held up I was going to order a new one in a different color brand new from the store it is $129.00😳 so that was a nope. I also found a new kids coat for my grandson for $4.99 and it was a north face brand new coat. But now if you go goodwill and Mel trotter both bump up the prices so high they cost more than they originally were bought. Like 12.99 for a tank top from the gap that was $6 brand new. I don't shop thrift very often any longer. I do yard sale occasionally tho.
