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.

I think I irritated the Thrift Store Gods the other day
The other day I was trying to justify to myself and you why I went to Old Navy and bought new-with-tags clothes for Jacob saying how it was hard to find him long sleeved shirts in nice condition yadda yadda. Well the Thrift Store Gods sure showed me! Yesterday at VV, I found not one but two Old Navy long sleeved shirts in nice condition for .35, a pair of Lands End jeans (in his size) for .50 and two t-shirts (cuz I liked them) for .35.
So now, if the Thrift Store Gods are listening....I never find really nice big diamond earrings at the thrifts for .50
looks like you scored big again!
ReplyDeletethis post makes me want to go back to value village and search for stuff...even though last time it was a bad experience
ReplyDeleteJust to clarify, the stores I go to are called Vintage Value - not to be confused with a chain of thrift stores called Value Vintage. The stores I go to are not part of a chain.
