What kind of Goodwill is this. The ones I go to have jacked up their prices on certain merchandise. I’d be paying store price for those toys at the Goodwill I go to. It’s become ridiculous shopping at Goodwill.

The tonka dump truck was one of my favorite toys of all time. Used to love hauling dirt around in it in the yard as a little kid.

Xero Shoes meets all of your criteria, but is not BIFL. They make great barefoot shoes for wide feet, but the soles eventually wear out.

Vivobarefoot has phenomenal shoes. I've been using Primus Lites for the last few years for my everyday wear. Got a couple others for different purposes.
OP, choose whatever you think is best from there.

Exactly! Got a bunch of tonka dog toys on clearance at petco a couple months back for my Goldador. They are tough!

Maybe something like this.. https://www.amazon.com/Cooluli-20L-Mini-Fridge-Bedroom/dp/B07JBZ5ZDD/ref=sr_1_2_sspa
It's not super tiny but also not a regular mini fridge. If you want something more BIFL you could look into Marvel mini fridges but those are thousands.

Hiking shoe soles are generally not great for durability in walking on concrete.

I typically use them to workout so I'll give them a smell test after a workout but wearing them multiple days in a row was something I had never considered, thanks!

It’s for this reason that I named my tortoise Tonka. Little guy is gonna outlive me, so I thought the name was appropriate. I plan to purchase a Tonka dump truck and push him around in the back of it

Adidas Terrex Free hikers? I have an older pair, I use them for city walking when I’m being a tourist and doing long days, or hiking soft/muddy trails.

Ive seen them before in the office for almond milk you're probably fine... there is probably some BIFL lab spec one for exact temps tho.... the $25 ones are I assume not BIFL but may get the job done.

I can't 100% say bifl, but I recently bought the Vivobarefoot trekking shoes. They are light, wide on the toe and make your walking style in a fashion that won't wear as quickly. I walk more than you, both on a treadmill and on sand, concrete, grass or just "other", and they still (two months in) don't show any tear (after ~1,000km).

I wish they still made them like this. We went through several tonka dump trucks before we stopped replacing them. The kids loved pushing themselves around in them but they kept breaking.

I hope you have a lot of fun with them! If you ever have kids they will also love them :)

Yeah pretty much, except I’m looking to hold the small containers of Blue Diamond Almond Breeze Unsweetened Almond Milk which are slightly larger than a couple of cans. As long as it can hold those I’m totally fine, but I don’t wanna buy it and suddenly it’s a cooler and not a fridge that keeps itself cool.

We all had one. And we all rode on-top of it.

I am older than that and never get weird looks browsing for hot wheels. I think most people know that some people collect them, it’s not that unusual. Even if they don’t, they’d probably just assume you’re getting a gift for someone.
Keep collecting!
