Business review: Milaca Unclaimed Freight

My first time. I’ve heard of Milaca Unclaimed Freight before, but don’t pass that direction often enough to think about making the stop. Next time, it’s on the agenda.

Take along your patience and resistance. The aisles are narrow and crowded. But if you take your time, you’ll be surprised at what you’ll come across – often at decent prices, once in awhile a terrific bargain.

I don’t think you can go looking for something too specific. Instead, approach it like an upscale garage sale, but new stuff. There’s food, hardware, toys, cleaning products, vitamins, paper goods, kitchen utensils, fishing equipment, clothes, towels, etc., etc., etc. – and a huge furniture department.

I was more proud of what I resisted than what I did get. Best surprise of all: guessing our full cart to check out at $225, but it barely cracked $100.
