I'm Chris and I am addicted to yard sales, garage sales, thrift stores and bargain hunting in general. Visit my site yardsalequeen.com - which I started in 1996. "Smile" and "VV" (Vintage Value) are the names of two thrift stores I regularly shop at. I grew up in Clifton Park NY but now live in Lusby, MD. I also lived in other exciting locales such as Schenectady, Watervliet (NY), and Charleston, SC.

Made $2.50 at the thrift today
Just a quick post but I had to share a funny thing that happened at the thrift today. I found a large rolled up laminated map of the USA with a $1 price tag on it. Another customer sees me with it and asks if there's any more. I say "No" and he looks all depressed and goes on to say he's wants a large map like that to put thumbtacks on all of his travels. Meanwhile I'm thinking it would be a good thing to put on a wall for Jacob to learn states, cities, capitals etc. So anyways the guy goes, I'll give you a dollar if you let me buy it. I pause. Then he goes, how about $2.... $2.50??? I heard myself saying "sold!". (There will always be other maps around....). Now if I was nice, I would have just let him buy it. But did you see the book I bought the other week???
That is classic! The best stuff happens to you.
