Clothes, Furniture and what ever you didn't know you would like. I was in Construction in NYC for 30 yrs and there are a few outlets like "Cheap Joes" and a few others that you have to go into to see what they are "giving away" If I needed an emergency buy then you had to had a preview to remember where. If you travel to NYC into Penn Station your in a good area for browsing especially up and about 7th, 8th Aves between like 23rd st to 46st. If you make the trip do it with the time to take the walk and go into every store. For Shoes and accessories I will go to Burlington Coat Factory or others and find there sale section which is usually cut down real low but you only have to find the right size and then your set because they can have top name shoes at 75% off.
Furniture is my favorite because I like to refinish wood. Only real wood and the older and scratchier it is the better because it doesn't have 5 coats of paint on it. One coat is a major problem and you don't know. Again I will only get real wood and if you go and buy a sander or do it by hand all you need to know is that once you get to bare wood you will understand how simple it is. Applying the stain and whether to varnish or shellac is something that you will understand. Another thing is that one you get going you really get to see the beauty of wood and you can spend as much time as you want because it only gets better. You will also need to learn about steel wool, sand papers, razor knives and the different types. Its a real joy when your done and find out how much you have really learned and it will get easier each time.
