We dug for buried treasures at the Goodwill Outlet

A row of Goodwill Outlet bins full of shoes sold for $1.89 per pound. Photos: Alissa Widman Neese/Axios Last month, we reported on .I recently rolled up my sleeves and dug into the bins at Columbus' Goodwill Outlet to see what all the fuss is about. My take: This takes "thrill of the hunt" to the next level … and I'm addicted. How it works: Items are unsorted and sold per pound — 59 cents for books and $1.89 for everything else. Pro tips: Bring gloves to avoid that slimy "I just rooted through piles of used items" feeling on your hands. (Luckily, the items were much cleaner than I expected.)Go on a weekday. It's less busy.If you find clothes in your size or something you like, stick to that spot. It may be part of a set.When employees wheel out a fresh new bin, back off — unless you're looking for an elbow-to-elbow Black Friday-esque brawl. These thrifters are hardcore. Relics I found, but left: The first cellphone I owned in 2005. A pet rock. Floppy disks. A cassette of "Macho Man" by the Village People. The one that got away: A Clippers Dime-A-Dog T-shirt that sadly wasn't my size. What I snagged: Everything in the picture below cost only $12.49.That includes the gift that keeps on giving: A brand new “Friends” calendar with daily trivia and quotes. If you go: 2675 Brice Rd., Suite B, Columbus. 9am–9pm daily.Along with the calendar, I snagged: a blouse, a dozen hangers, a calming coloring book with colored pencils, ribbon spools, an old-school “Beauty and the Beast” book, ceramic pumpkin decorations, and a fleece blanket that my cat Molly quickly claimed.
