The back supply room has cans of spray paint for 5.00, which is the price for brand new at the store. I think if you try to reduce and move out the merchandise and give the store a deep clean you will make more money in the long run.

Yes, some things are "I know what I got" ridiculous pricing, but if you search, there are actually some wonderful antique finds and collectibles at fair, honest pricing.

My next project was to rebuild an antique corner cabinet and I found some old shelving at Big Red Barn that was perfect for the project. We have purchased a new home in Maggie Valley and Terry purchased a table and chairs that we no longer wanted. He gave me a fair price for the items and we both made out on the deal. I like to refurbish antiques and collectibles so the place really fits the bill for me. I have also rented a U haul from there and the service was excellent. My kind of place.

Prices are good, and household prices are great! A lot of shoes and purses available also. They have a dressing room. They have carts and baskets available and the since the store reset it is now easily navigated and well organized.

Packed with everything from clothing to housewares and some furniture. Two stories. It's the kind of place that caters to both the truly poor ( with a separate ministry) while attracting ALL income levels and those of us who are searching for that great find. I could spend days, literally, going through all the piles of treasures they have in this store. We go once a week looking for good deals and here's the thing about Second Blessings: They price to sell! The front rooms have little auction tags, which are fun to do, and often I just cruise the expired auction tags, which are then available at the initial bid price of $2 or something. And they're flexible! Also take advantage of their food room which offers breads and frozen items for any donation amount. GREAT PLACE! Tons of awesome items. A few examples of what we've actually purchased: Small couch, sets of gorgeous curtains, old lamp, fabric and decor items, wooden chairs, womens clothing, drawer pulls hardware. Way cool store!

Ellie's is NOT that. Bright, clean, no smell of 'other people's stuff'. Fresh, very well organized inventory. Need a cardigan in a specific size and color and don't have time to comb through racks and racks of stuff? This is your place. You could literally walk in, look at the great signage and find your cardi in the right color and size within a minute or 2. Nice name brands in great condition (no pilled or pulled droopy worn out stuff). Add to that the owner is friendly, personable and helpful when needed an not in your face when not. Loved this place and found a great deal or two. Totally recommend.

An elderly pilferer had just left, and that constituted high drama to some. The cashier that I had mentioned in my last update was spending time on the floor with a fellow employee. I strained to hear their low conversation, and a young man strained his body toward this cashier, imploring her for help. An older woman, would could not bear the strain of waiting in line, went back to browsing, and I got in line, which lines up towards the side-left. The cashier came back. She chatted with the older woman, who was approaching the register with an item. The chatting was comfortable, so I knew that the cashier and this older woman were familiar with each other. The older woman decided that I was not in line and got directly behind another woman at the register, which any Goodwill devotee knows is a faux pas. The line consists of side-to-side people. There is no room to get directly behind others in this Goodwill, as one would block a main thoroughfare to Corelle dishes. Last year, a woman asked if she could butt in front of me at this Goodwill. I relented out of weakness. Her husband was waiting. I wanted to tell her that so was mine. My husband lost it when he wondered what had taken me so long. Hers didn't. I am a crazy person magnet. If you got Squeaky Fromme, Andrew Wakefield, and a descendent of Josef Mengele in the same room with me, they would be telling me their life stories while ignoring any concept of time, space, or manners. Somehow, they sense my inner rube and descend. My husband cringes and sighs. So, of course, this older woman asked to butt in front of me. I, of course relented, because her time and narcissism are important to her, and I do not want to make waves. This woman felt that because she was actually in line before me- but then left the line- that that entitled her to go before me. This angered my husband, and he was making light comments in disbelief. Then it gets even more uncomfortable. The cashier actually asked my husband what he was commenting about, which can be seen as aggressive. I think that her heart was in the right place, but it was if she was almost daring us to say that the older woman- her friend- was rude to butt in front of us. I felt conflicted, because on the one hand the cashier was saying that I was nice to let the woman go ahead of me, but on the other hand she was saying that people that have the gall to ask to butt in front of you deserve a high five. Later that same day, we got falsely accused of butting, had to fight off another butter, and then I accidentally butted in front of a woman*. Life is the butt of the joke. *Please see my update on the Waynesville Ingles for more high jinks. I did not realize I was butting in front of someone at the health department, as I was elated due to defying anti-moms and due to imminent disease defiance in defiant children.
