Thrift store shopping

[Green Girl]

I'm all for it. Our town has like 8 thrift shops in about a 5 mile radius, and several consignment shops as well. Whenever I'm in the market for an item, I check the thrift shops first, and I have often found what I'm looking for.

I love thrift stores but none of ours are ever that nice. Here they mostly have just clothes and some unwanted furniture more than anything.

In town here we have the coolest RV parts store. They pull usable components out of used RVs----EVERYTHING you can imagine. They've been in business for over 30 years. I wish there was a garden equipment store like that!

You and me both...I've got a '94 Airstream 34 foot Class A, and a '95 Jayco front kitchen 30 footer tt, would spend a LOT of $$ at a place like that.

In the south side of town, there are 6 thrift shops....problem is, I live 15 miles away on the north side, and it's hard to justify driving that far when I don't know what I will find...but there is usually something, SOMEPLACE, that makes the trip worth it. My wife hates thrift stores, she will NEVER buy ANYTHING used, even from a consignment store. Yet our closet and basement are crammed with stuff she bought new (mostly clothing) and has never worn. Go figger !!! Why does any woman need over 120 pair of shoes...?

Because someone allows them to buy them...:biggrin::biggrin:

I thrift store shop, I seldom buy new, I can usually justify an outfit or 2 a year for each of us new, birthdays or Christmas but that;s about it and I will only buy on sale!
