Your A-List: Best Place to Buy Funky Furniture
New shops come and go, Goodwill feels as if its always been around. Some vintage stores may have a selection that suits you better, but you’d have trouble beating the prices at the place that took home 33 percent of the vote in this week’s poll.
On top of feeling good about recycling other people’s old goods, you can also take heart in the mission statement of Goodwill Industries, which is to “provide job-related services and opportunities for people with barriers to employment.”
With over a dozen locations in the Greater Austin area, you’re never too far from some good deals on used furniture, clothes, etc. And if you really want to stay abreast of the goings on at Goodwill, you can even follow them on Twitter.
