Goodwill Store Now Open in Bastrop

I love a bargain. So I am always looking for a thrift store or garage sale when I drive around Austin or the surrounding communities. Even when I travel out of Central Texas one of my favorite things to do is find a thrift store in whatever town I’m in. I had heard talk that there was going to be a Goodwill Store opening in Bastrop, so I have been watching. I just saw it Saturday afternoon. I did not have time to stop this time but I will on my next trip to Bastrop or maybe that will be my trip.  This new Goodwill occupies roughly 11,000 square foot of space at its new location on HWY. 71 and FM 304 intersection. I have found great items at many Goodwill Stores and other second hand shops.  They offer everything, clothing, jewelry, furniture, books and household items. Now they also have a computer store. Goodwill Industries is a great program for people helping people and with all of the talk about the cleaning up the environment  WHAT BETTER WAY TO REDUCE,REUSE, AND RECYCLE?  The city of Bastrop is no longer just a small town outside of Austin. It is growing , with more and more larger franchise stores and restaurants moving in. But even with all of the growth Bastrop still retains a small town atmosphere.
