Today was the grand opening of the new Hospice Shop in Morrinsville - and OPPIES was invited.

Thank you Hospice Shop Waikato for the invite. It was amazing to see all the hard work the team has put into the new location. The space is a must-visit and will for sure be one we go to regularly.

New address and opening hours are already updated in the app, so you can plan a Roadie and check what’s nearby while you’re out.

Once you’ve been, leave a review so other shoppers know what to expect.

Find it in OPPIES. Free for shoppers and for charity Op Shops to claim.

Birthday thrift Roadie with Mum, using the OPPIES app to plan our trip! Can't think of a better way to celebrate another year than a sunny day on the road, hunting through OpShops for treasures!

Went to SPCA Morrinsville, Everybody’s Op Shop (kids bag for $2, adults clothing 50% off), Hospice (everything 50% off for their moo-ving sale — they’re moving premises), then a quick hop to the little Waitoa Red Cross. Fill a bag for $5, old-school OpShop in the cutest church.

Favourite finds: a vintage tooled leather handbag and chocolate brown Ugg slippers.

You can share your Roadie on the app to the Community Feed or the community Roadie space so other shoppers can do the same loop.

Free for OpShoppers and OpShops.

Thrift Grey Street with me.

Kids-free for a few hours, so I opened OPPIES and walked the Hamilton East strip.
Red Cross, The OPP STOP, Salvation Army. Parking ran out before the SPCA. Finished at Hospice Claudelands.

That’s the handy bit while you’re already out - the app shows what’s nearby based on your location. Just down from Claudelands is St Aidan’s, and around the corner from Hospice is the Op Shop on the Park. All sitting there once you search.

Search your street in OPPIES before you leave, or while you’re already thrifting. Free for shoppers.

Popped into the Cambridge Lions Shed on Thursday and so glad i did!.

They’re only open two mornings a week, so I checked OPPIES first - Thursday and Saturday, 8.30am till 12pm. Hours were right, which is the whole point when you’ve only got a short window 👌

Left my review on the app after. If you go, it’s worth doing while it’s fresh in your mind,

26 Vogel St. Make sure to check it out when you’re in Cambridge.

On the Mainstream Green Op Shop bus tour we got a look behind the scenes at Hospice Te Awamutu.

Hospice Shop Waikato have a cool point of difference: a curated section if you want the designer pieces and don’t mind paying a little more, plus plenty of lower-priced clothing with multi-buy discounts if you prefer the hunt.

It was my first time out the back, and a bit sad to learn some people use Op Shops as a dumping ground. Around 20-30% of what is donated here cannot be sold - soiled, broken, and so on - and Hospice has to pay to dispose of it.

The good donations, and there are plenty, help pay for the doctors and care staff looking after people in palliative care. A pretty amazing thing to support while you shop.

Before your next drop: if you wouldn’t give it to a close friend, don’t donate it. Claimed shops can say on their OPPIES profile whether they are taking donations, and note anything they particularly need, so check the app before you go.

Thank you Hospice Te Awamutu for the look out the back, and Mainstream Green and the councils who backed the tour.

Come with me on an op shop bus tour - Hamilton to Te Awamutu.

Huge thank you to Mainstream Green, Waipā District Council and Hamilton City Council for organising such a fun Slow Fashion September day. Favourite part wasn’t even the shopping (although I did love that) - it was chatting and sharing finds with everyone on the bus. Was a real fun, community vibe.

We visited seven charity shops:
Red Cross Te Awamutu · SPCA Te Awamutu · Everybody’s Op Shop · Hospice Te Awamutu · Parish of St John’s Op Shop · Salvation Army Te Awamutu · Hato Hone St John Te Awamutu

And had a delicious complimentary coffee in our own cup from RedKitchen Cafe & Store Te Awamutu
