First Visit to a Thrift in Months

[Indigo Knight]

Yesterday I was excited to stop in local thrift store. It's been several months since I've visited and the store had all new stock.

I spent time searching through every department except clothing. Jewelry, media, books, electronics, furniture, games, and toys.

My great find: a returnable $0.05 deposit bottle in the parking lot on the way out.

Everything else was junk!

Most of thrift stores in my small town are still closed but one just opened a few days ago. I was thinking the same thing as you on visiting it, that everything had been picked over pretty carefully. Still nice to be out and about though.

It turns out the day wasn't a total waste. On the way back from the store I stopped to dive in a local dumpster and scored some weight plates that I dropped off at a friend's house on the way home. He sold them the next day locally for $80 and we split the money. Dumpster diving produces better results in my area than thrifting.

I agree, it is nice to be out again regardless of success.

Today I stopped at a different thrift. The special section with jewelry and higher priced items was completely empty, and the rest of the store yielded nothing.
