Items and foods that have been discontinued, outdated or packaged in irregular containers are the inventory of Bargain Foods & Treasures. The discount store opened last week at 811 N. Fourth St. The 4,100-square-foot building had been the home of the Idaho Youth Ranch Thrift Store, which moved up the street half a block. Bargain Foods primarily sells packaged and canned foods, drug store counter items and a few miscellaneous “treasures.” Owners are Bob and Leslie Edwards, of Post Falls. Originally from New Jersey and Utah, respectively, they came to North Idaho from Seattle/Nils Rosdahl, SR Handle Extra. More here.
Question: What kind of treasure can be found at thrift stores?

I don’t find treasures, but I’m always impressed with what OTV and Idaho Escapee find, whether it’s recorded music or picture postcards and other printed material related to the North Idaho’s past.

I found a brand-new, still sealed copy of ZZ Top’s “XXX” album at the local Goodwill Store; it’s one of their later albums. I think the term “treasure” is subjective…one man’s junk being another man’s treasure.

I have found hundreds, hence my journeys to such places each week, without fail.
