I found a new goodwill that has an outlet side. You get what you want and then pay by the lb. I got soooo many toys and toy parts today. I have no idea what im going to do with it all?!?

I so wish our Goodwill did that! Someone else had mentioned that by the pound, can't remember who it was now:(
Great haul!
Kali is gonna be such a spoiled girl when she gets home!!!

I was very excited to come across this one. I only got a very lil in comparison to what I could have....I didn't bring gloves again, so I only got a few surface items. I will go in for a larger haul soon.

I wanna come down shopping with you!! I never find so much at the thrift stores... I picked up one rattle and a bucket of sorting blocks, that was I think my best find on a single day! Little imagination and you've got some awesome toys. Michelle (Mishcka) actually is amazing at coming up with toys, maybe she will share some of her photos, she's been creating toys for a bird shelter near her!

You can drop plastic into boiling water and sterilize like baby bottles... or diluted bleach soak, just be super careful to rinse multiple times so no bleach residue!

Drop in boiling water is quick and easy. Extremely effective!!

I am sure there are great places in PA to shop. I drove an hour and came across them gem of a goodwill. What is great is there is a normal goodwill 3 miles from this big one. I hit two places at once.
although my next visit to see Kali I am going to stop by the Virginia bizarre, which is supposed yo be like an indoor flea market. I bet there will be tons of goodies there!

GREAT FINDS! Try taking one of those links and hanging one of the rattles from it in the cage-instant foot toy:) You can drill the blocks and string them up to make a dangling toy. And you found a LOT of those links! You can never have too many of those. So much better than key rings or those metal things you hang toys from (IMO).

I love the pay by the pound goodwills. You can find some awesome toys and pay next to noting because they weigh next to nothing.

I know! Adopt more birds!
Haha I wish I could but I don't think I could afford having more right now. Specially as much as I like to spoil them lol.
Kiwi, great ideas! I will try some of them. I still need to buy more rope now:-/
One thing is for sure. She will not go wanting for toys:p:grey:
