Goodwill. You never know what will show up on any given day and most of it is crap or doesn’t work. But it’s cheap and there’s an occasional gem to be found.
@rockblossom A new big Goodwill store just opened literally across the highway. I can walk to it! But if I find too much I can’t carry it home. My main plan was to donate a bunch of stuff I’ve been ready to get rid of. Trying to partially empty a house. But the temptation is always there.
A visit to Ocean State Job Lot, a purveyor of surplus, cheap, and sometimes weird stuff. I mentioned it in the [Brick and Mortar] What (physical) store feels Meh? thread, so I won’t say any more here. Now that I’m thinking of OSJL, I’m in the mood for some cinnamon and bone broth flavored potato chips.
@Kyeh It’s not a real flavor at all , combined or separately, but with all the odd flavors of potato chips they have, it wouldn’t surprise me if they had something that weird. I suppose OSJL has them because they didn’t sell well (surprise!) at the supermarket.
@ItalianScallion Oh, okay. I’ve had cinnamon churro flavored chips which were okay but I wouldn’t but them again. Currently Lay’s has a Thai Red Curry flavor that’s quite good - I WILL buy more of those!
@Kyeh This is precisely the sort of flavors I’d find at OSJL! That settles it. Tomorrow I’m going there, for you guys, to get weird flavors of potato chips and other crunchies. I’ll post what I got, as if it’s an IRK reveal.
@ItalianScallion Yay! And any other strange and exotic food would be fun too. My sister found some interesting things at a nearby Asian Market, like this:
She didn’t buy it, though.
@Cerridwyn@ItalianScallion@jouest Do you still have the original Cost Plus? Or is it World Market? Because we have one of those with international foods, but they’re expensive! They have the odd-flavored KitKats, for example.
I’ve been known to enjoy an awkward pile of office Secret Santa gifts.

@ItalianScallion
I hope that’s 2 different kinds of chips?!

@ItalianScallion @Kyeh I weirdly enjoy wondering if they cost Plus for the same reason. To look at the weird food
@Cerridwyn @ItalianScallion @Kyeh this comment chain is a wild ride
@ItalianScallion @jouest @Kyeh
I go (to cost plus) for Stroopwafels since Meh no longer sells them.

@ItalianScallion @jouest @Kyeh world market. I don’t buy. I ogle
@Cerridwyn @ItalianScallion @jouest Hah! I buy Christmas goodies there, and occasionally try some novelty food.
I used to love going to thrift stores with certain friends. Always entertaining even if we found nothing. I need to arrange a trip with them again.
