Goodwill BBQ book scores

We just have a small town Thrift Store. Never seen great cookbooks like that here.

Bummer! I probably have around 10 I’ve scored there over time. Just bought an amazing cookie cookbook for a Christmas gift too. Hardback looks never used. $1

Awesome Finds! I’m not sure how my wife would feel about me getting more books though I’ve already caught her trying to donate some

Well I have been checking all the goodwill and thrift stores trying to find a Popover tin set . No luck on that but found couple ( well seen lots but looking only for Smoking and BBQing )
Found a couple books for $1.99 each and also a brand new Tortilla Press for $3.99 ( $ 25.99 on amazon ) I think a good score for these

Nice big Weber Book , there was a bigger one , but they wanted $2.50 for it . lol

Very good finds, used cookbooks are the best to me! Tortilla press looks interesting!

Thanks tbern, there was a discussion before about tortilla presses and I was going to make one like Rich @chopsaw made and showed.
But at this price how could I say no .

Tortilla Press

@xray inspired me to make some homemade corn tortilla's after looking thru his post on Jerk Shrimp tacos . My gosh they were good , and a huge difference in the meal . I have had real deal Mexican food and these reminded me of that . So I started looking at a press . Not bad money for the cast...

Yes most times the books I get are almost new the splines don't even have a crease in them

Good score on the Corningware

But still looking for my popover tins, someday . But fun just to see what great finds there are.

Are those the 2 you got for $6 bucks

Nice . We have a set I use a lot , sometimes 3 just are not enough

David

 

[chopsaw]

the 2 you got for $6 bucks

Yes .

The other thing I buy frequently at Goodwill is board games. It stinks when you pay $25+ for a game that sucks. I’ve grabbed many at Goodwill for $2-$3. If they suck I just re donate lol. We have a huge closet full and I’d say over half are from Goodwill.

@chopsaw
I saw some of your dishes today at 2 different shops, they wanted 4.99 - 8.99 for the small ones
and 8.99 - 14.99 for the larger ones . That is too much if you ask me.

David

 

[chopsaw]

Yeah . Depends on what they are or how bad you want them . The ones I posted the other day I see listed for around $25.00 . I have another one I paid 3 or 4 bucks for that I see multiple listings for $1400.00 .
Not sure what they sell for . They're nice for beans or keeping sauce warm . I wouldn't pay that for them either .

 

[DRKsmoking]

I see multiple listings for $1400.00 .

yes I see lots of things on different sites asking very high prices.
And that is the important word . Asking price, not getting price.

But we use them for lots of things

And I am sure you could get some of your soup in one and send it my way today.. lol

Some of those old Corningware actually do sell for those insane prices. I always am on the lookout for those.

Yup . When you see multiple listings for the same price , there's a reason for it .
Here's the one I see for $900.00 to $1500.00 . I don't remember exactly what I paid , but it was under 4 bucks .
Blue cornflower .

Blue cornflower

We have had ours for years , and a small blue cornflower down at the tailor
both of these are corning wear.
LOL have to look into the prices now.
