Our church is having video support groups. At one of our zoom "meetings" they asked what each of us missed the most during the quarantine . I said I missed my thrift store. It reopened this week, and I finally had a chance to put on my latex gloves and go.
I like my thrift store for a variety of reasons. They have special sales every day. Each week they have a different colored hang tag on clothing that is only 25 cents. (25 cents! You can't get much for 25 cents!) Saturdays they sometimes have mega-sales: like 50% off the entire store, or today when I went all clothing was only $1. $1 means for coats, formals, dresses, mens clothes, whatever!
All of the money goes to Missouri Council Of The Blind -- so it all goes to a great cause. There are days I get a senior discount. If you spend $100 (accumulative) you get a $10 discount.
Today I spent a big $33 and got a huge trash bag packed with clothes. I got three long dresses in my size -- I usually scramble when I have to go to a formal event but now I will be ready. One of the dresses fit great and was a keeper. One had damage I failed to see before I bought (but hey, it was only a buck!). One was a bit to small on the top but I am going to try to sell it on ebay.
I got several items for my husband that he was actually excited about, including these shorts! One of my sons is flying in from California in a couple of weeks, so I got him some things. And I managed to get a few more things for myself.
