Why Does Everyone Hate The Dump?

I've always wondered why all my friends hate the dump! I myself have found some great things there. Our dump has a little dump store that people drop off items to that may be of good use to others. I usually pop in to see whats going on in there. Some people sit outside of it for hours waiting for great finds. That is a bit extreme to me.

So this blog is dedicated to why you should shop at the dump.

1. It is always free

2. People throw away great stuff

3. Contrary to popular belief it is not Dirty and Diseased nothing a little soap, bleach, and cleaning products cannot cure. (I've never caught any diseases from the dump store or wood pile, i am not suggesting however that if you do choose to jump in with the trash you may come out smelly, dirty, and maybe full of some germs.

My favorite day to visit the dump in the summer is Tuesdays (our dump is closed Mondays)

• People drop off unsold yard sale items after the weekend
  
  
• It is not crowded
  
  

Reason # 1 You Should Shop At The Dump (Please see picture)

• The white shirt is eyelet and in great shape I bleached it and fits me great!


• Multiple yards of brand new material (with tags on it from Jo-Ann Fabrics)


• Brand new tubes of playdogh (The dough was still in tube shape when I opened it)


• Road Atlas (Maybe we'll never get lost again)


• Brand New Stuff T-Rex from Barnes and Noble


• Flip Flops - my size that looked like they had never been worn


• Yellow metal tray im going to spray paint white


• Cute felt container for xmas


• Cute little coffee mug from pfaltzgraff
  

Total Price $0

Reason # 2

Found these at the dump store a week later

Yep that's right, glasses that had never been used with Tiffany & Co. stickers on each of them. Im not sure if they're really Tiffany & Co. But the stickers looked authentic and they were super cute glasses. I sold them on ebay for $35.00

Reason # 3

If you aren't convinced by now the dump is a wonderful place to go. Here is the third one. I found this bamboo chair in wonderful condition. (Yes I did climb half way up the wood pile to retrieve it but it was in great condition.) If I had had a truck I would have taken the beautiful vanity I found too but it wouldn't fit in my car. I spray painted the chair and found these cushions at a thrift store. Total price for chair $8.00. It looks so great in my spare bedroom

Before After
