Before the pandemic the best place for me to find puzzles was a local thrift shop. Value Village never seemed to have as good a selection. Now I can't physically go into thrift shops ☹️ but I bet there are more puzzles than ever to choose from because of all the puzzling people did during lockdowns. I don't remember having issues with missing pieces from used puzzles but just did a new-in-the-box puzzle that came without one piece. Bummer, because I really, really like the image and colors.
Thrifting puzzles has been hopping in your group lately!! I love doing it and don't panic a super ton about missing pieces but I do ONLY get what I really like and somehow still find a good 15 or so each time ha!
This was fun to watch - some great finds for sure! There are two goodwills in my area that always have a ton to choose from. My daughter and I love to go thrifting for puzzles and usually take a pile we’re finished with back to the store so we can justify getting more! 😂😊
That was a good haul and having some left over budget is even better. 👍 Some lovely puzzles there. The one you were trying to think of when showing the pencils one was Ravensburger's Floral Reflections. This was one of the puzzles at the World's competition in Spain. The Educa 1500 is called North American Landmarks. Looks like you will have a good choice of shops for further puzzle sprees! 😃
Nice haul!! They are perfect for relaxing in front of the tv at night. I've already seen two of them on your IG account! Snoopy is perfect for December! I know what you mean by showing restraint. When I go to the local GWs here I will pick out the puzzles I want then walk around the store. Before I check out I look at the puzzles again and pull out the ones I know I wont do. Gives me that beat between that puzzle high and regret! 😄
Nice finds! Great assortment! I wish we had a Savers or a Value Village near me, they are all over an hour away. Looks like you enjoyed yourself on your outing🙂
A very nice haul. I think you have some great finds. I have been getting a lot of my puzzles from a Boys and Girls thrift store near me. I've been lucky in having very few with missing pieces. The boxes are always taped so I don't look inside. Sometimes the previous owner will mark on the box if there are missing pieces.
very nice haul! I love the Snoopy puzzle, he's beloved in my home And what great prices, esp. for the vintage ones! You win the day for staying on budget 🏆
I don't know how I missed this one. OMG I almost cried when I saw the Peanuts one, I would have bought that so fast! Great haul video.
The deer's rump is too cute!
I love, love, love the Snoopy one! I looked it up and it appears to be from 1999. So cozy! ❄️
Forbidden Desert is a great game!
18:33 these look great, fascinating, I'm in love

I have been super lucky with thrifting and yes I've noticed a lot more people puzzling now.
If I donate a puzzle that’s missing a piece, I mark its place on the box. Yesterday I got four puzzles for $3 each at Goodwill.
That's an awesome find!

Nice! A taped box is always a good sign.
The Goodwill in Seattle on Belmont is my favorite place to shop when I go to Seattle
OOooo good to know. I currently don't have much need to go down that way but I'll have to keep that in mind.

Oh thank you!
SKIP TO 7:07 FOR THE HAUL. I hope you enjoy this video!!
There is an online resource that lists all the puzzles made by springbok and they rarity and value.
Yes! I have used this before. I'll have to see how these ones stack up.
Springbok poker I think I seen on the box lid that it was missing a piece
Yes I noticed that afterwards, still think it will be fun though.
My Husband and I have played Forbidden Desert so much, that the cards are worn out.
Goodwill in general prices are all over the place with everything. Thift puzzle shopping is dangerous
Yes it is!! I now have zero room left.
