My Goodwill score.

[DrummerBoySeth]

I was stationed at Ft Hood and lived in Copperas Cove. I'm sure there are some nice finds there from all over.

I was also stationed at Hood. I lived in Temple before I got base housing though. When were you there, and what unit were you in?

Yes, i know this is a little but I just have to know!

Ft Hood was my first duty station. I was there Feb '94 - July '95, 3-41 Infantry 2nd AD. Went to Germany after that and was there 10 years.

When were you there?

I have a friend who works at the local shop. Knew I was into brewing and before I even finished my first batch had picked up a bench crapper and 200 caps for me for a nickel! (Employee discount haha) from the looks of it it had been stashed in a closet or basement for a while. Simple dusting and was good as new. Never used but one bottle. 199 of 200 caps in box

All my glassware is form thrift stores, except one glass my then girlfriend bought me as my first gift after we started dating.

Good score!
But does your car really have 5 cup holders next to each other when only 2 people can sit there?

It's a company service vehicle, but it does have 4 cup holders. Its where all my crap gets thrown to.
Only one person can actually sit there too, tools occupy the shotgun.

Lol, i love the plethora of cup holders in new cars these days! One of my cars built in 01 has ZERO cup holders and works just fine!

Again why aren't you buying lottery tickets?

LOL I need to!

The thrift stores are definitely a gold mine. These are a few of many I have picked up for less than a buck apiece.

Nice! I actually have about 4 of the boot shot glasses, too.

I found a boot glass just like that in a thrift store once. I was got excited... SOOOOO EXCITED! then I saw the giant chip in it. Lame. Lame...... Love the playboy chalice btw.

You must be quite a man/drinker. The boot glasses I have hold about 10 fl oz. That is a hell of a shot. :rockin:

haha, actually I think it was a bar set with large glasses like yours and small shot glasses to go with it. I have the shot glasses. With all of this said, break out the JD, because I love a challenge!

No sir, around here we drink good stuff.

I was there from Mar. 2000 to Oct. 2002. 1/7 Cav, 1CD

Well I have been looking for a reason to crack this guy I got at the distillery...

 

[Stauffbier]

I won't argue with this! I drank nothing but JD for about 15 years. I wouldn't even touch beer, so it's funny that I now make it and love to drink it. About 6 months ago I tried Makers Mark for the first time (yeah I know... I guess I was under a rock all my life), and I loved it! I would have likely drank that for 15 years instead of JD if I had discovered it first! :cross:

My favorite drink right there!

I hardly ever drink anything other than beer, but occasionally on a cold night I'll have a glass of Makers to warm me up

Interestingly enough, the misses brought home a Left Hand pint glass from the thrift store the other day. Awesome stuff!

Very cool! I went into a different Goodwill today and they had nothing worth buying, I was disappointed and think I'm getting spoiled.

 

[maybe]

Inspired by this thread and the last one, I've been checking the thrift store near me about once a week for a few weeks. Here's what I've found:

 

[StainlessBrewing]

$9.99 after using a monthly 20% off coupon. Looks brand new! Always check their jewlery section too. You'll get the fever as soon as you find your first piece of gold in there for $4.99!
