Useless Trip!
#1
I decided today that I would get out and search out some Goodwill stores, thrift shops and anything else that I thought might have some fabric or other goodies. Well we went to 5 places and it was a gigantic waste of time. One had a Singer Touch and Sew in a cabinet for $9.99 but no cords for the machine. Don't really need a machine but always look anyway. Bought a couple of pairs of jeans at another but zip on the fabric or sewing stuff. So I guess I'm stuck going to JoAnns, WalMart and shopping online.

It takes usually several attempts before you hit the jackpot, and then you may never hit it again.
I once found a woman selling all the stash...3 finished tops, many sewn blocks ready to be put together, 9 rulers, fabrics, some on the bolts, stabilizers, scissors, pins, etc and I only paid $32.00. I never again found anything sewing related in a garage sale, and where I lived they had tons of them. Keep trying.
