There's just so many op shops down at
Wynnum, but one stands out of the pack and that is the incredible, huge space that is
Aid For The Blind. It's filled with clothing, books, shoes, furniture and bric a brac. On the day that I visited, they were having an incredible 50% off everything in the store. Apparently they do this 3 or 4 times a year. I ended up buying a vintage, 100% cotton, Japanese long kimono for $4.
This place is clean, it's well spaced out and the clothing is usually divided into colours and clothing types, such as jeans, jackets, shirts and skirts. There's usually quite an interesting selection of kitchenware and bric a brac.
The least you should know: Aid for the Blind is at 82 Florence Street, Wynnum. The phone number is 3893 0252. They frequently have special sales on certain items (for example shoes or hand bags). Make sure that you have allocated plenty of time for this place, it's easy to walk past something wonderful because there's so many distractions.

| Some of the furniture for sale. I loved this 1930's table and matching chairs but my tiny little bungalow is filled to capacity right now |

| The perfect place to look for clothing to wear to a fancy dress party. |
