Have you been thrift store shopping lately
« on: June 18, 2016, 05:25:34 am »
I want to go to different thrift stores. The ones around where i live
are Value World and Salvation Army. Another i g to once in a blue moon is rescue treasures, which is on the
Other side of town, they use to have real great deals, but lots have changed.

No because it is too hard for me to walk around.  My son went to one the town over from us though a couple of days ago and got a beautiful jewelry box that was also a music box for an awesome deal.  We have Goodwill in our town but it isn't as good as some in other towns.

No, I haven't been in a theft store in years and the store near my home never really had anything good. Maybe some time in the future I'll go check out what they have and see if anything improved.

Yes indeed. Love thrift stores. But usually only go with lots of time. The one nearest my house is getting more expensive though.

I go sometimes, when we are out of town. Once you have gone to the one we have in our small town you have seen it all. When we have to take an elderly friend to the doctor next month  we are going to go to a large goodwill there. Just have to print the map off. It is easy on and easy off the freeway. I am always on the look out for craft items. today we stopped at a couple of yard sales on the way  out of town to see dad. One lady gave me a lot of floral leaves for fall for $3.00 and the price tag said $13.99 on 4 pieces of the 7.  then we stopped at another one and there was a grape vine i wanted and she  said i could have it. Boy those deals are great. Now i have something else to work on until hubby gets me a couple more gourds cleaned. I like having 3-4 sitting on the table at the same time so i don't don't waste my dye and paint when it is just a small part needing painted of one color.

I haven't in a while. The last few times I haven't found much I was interested in.

I bought a bakers rack for the bathroom a couple of months ago.  At good will.

I used to not like thrift stores because I had a hard time finding clothes that fit my style, but since being in the ones downtown, I like them a lot and appreciate how cheap they are. Definitely wanting to go on a spree soon!  :heart:
