Building Your Circuit
Route Efficiency
Plan your circuit geographically. Hit 3–4 stores per run, not 1. Gas and time are real costs — minimize both.
Specialize Before You Generalize
Learn one niche deeply at each stop. You'll spot value faster than scanning everything at surface level.
Track What You Miss
Keep a log of items you skipped and later regretted. Your miss list teaches you more than your hit list.
Relationship is a Moat
Regular visits build trust. Staff sometimes hold items, share restock schedules, or alert you to incoming donations.
