Goodwill is so on top of things now that it's hard to find bargains like this anymore.

Their prices on everything have gone up so much no more 4 for a $1 bins or 50 cent bins. Pants start at $7 now. They are half of some retail stores. You do have to examine things closely because they don't and the return policy isn't what it use to be.
The NW Goodwill CEO has made it a business, and has made millions personally because of it. So a lot of your funds isn't going directly to the actual need.
I still shop and donate there because it's handy.

The ARC helps handicap people and they are what the GW use to be where most of the money goes to the actual cause. ARC also has reasonable prices.

Now as far as resale shops go nothing beats the one in McMinnville called New to you. Everything is color coordinated according to size and everything has been checked out for tears, stains and loss buttons. They don't take damage goods.

Why not start with an IBC and cut a hole for the door? You could build closed laying boxes into it, and something for the chickens to roost on. Put some straw or saw dust on the floor. You could add vents to the side for air. If it sat inside a chicken run that you can walk into, the chickens could be safe, dry and happy. I have an extra IBC. Maybe this could be my chicken house? I bet I could even plant the outside of it with mud and grass for extra insulation and good looks.

The Opel Agilia

I think I don't want to spend the money for the VW New Beetle. It's a very cute and safe car, but cost about 17,000Euros new. I can find it for 13,000Euros (this is the most basic model) but that's more then I would want to spend. I don't really drive that much. I'm pretty cheep at heart. I need real value for my money. I keep thinking we really should take advantage of the money Germany is offering to trade old cars in for 2500Euros towards a new car. If I buy a car that's around 10,000 Euros, then the Government is actually going to pay 25% of the cost of that car. That's really a very good deal. Since I know I will need a new car in the near future, I feel I should get a new 10,000 Euro car. The Opel Agilia is around 9,900 Euros. It's got 5 doors, and room for 5. It is pretty safe, and comes with a 6 year warranty. I would not call it my dream car, but I could easily afford it. I'm trying to be wise here. There are other cars in thi
