Well the thrift store had half off today

[Beachkid23]

So I stopped and didn't even expect them to have half off I was kind surprised because the store has never done it before. Ended up getting a wagon for my daughter's birthday it is a roadmaster brand. A dirt devil Vacuum cleaner with all the attachments for six dollars. A Dyson animal vaccume cleaner for five dollars with all the attachments they still sell for $200 online! A Ben Rothlisberger Steelers jersey for a dollar. And a pair sunglasses that I about fell over when I saw how much they sell for the brand is persol. They are prescription so I'm not sure how much that helps or hurts but similar pair sold for $200



I was very happy with the Dyson though. As our vacuum cleaner broke, actually both of them last week!

I've never herd of the brand persol, but sure looks like allot of Hollywood folks sport a pair of those shades . I'd say they'd sell good as they are.

Say, isn't that Mary Tyler Moore? Jackie O? Jaclyn Smith? Oops, wrong century! Great find on the prescription shades!

Kind of funny she said that they have two new employees there and they just put whatever they want to for a price. She wants to hire me but they are required to work Saturdays and there's no way in heaven I'm working on a Saturday morning! And then to top it off employees are not allowed to buy stuff there either so I don't think it's going to work out! She's not the owner though so I well I'll just keep buying stuff cheap I guess!

Nice buys. Thanks for sharing...

I believe Steve McQueen wore Persol sunglasses. The buyer can always have the lenses changed..... Very desirable brand.

And they are the official sunglasses of the Mission Impossible Movies. Reason I know is I was trying to locate the pair one of the main criminals wore at the hotel in Dubai(last MI movie). Found out they are out of my price range. Great score!

I love half off at the thrift store. If you know what you're doing (and most of us here do) you can really make out like a bandit in almost every department. Got our marble top victorian dressers at the half off sale. It is the only way I can make a profit on Pyrex is to buy it at their half off sales usually.

It's great especially when it's the store because they have so much variety. And I'm sick of buying clothes so that's good when there's other things to choose from! The dyson I bought works perfectly fine but it smells like a dog when you turn it on! So I ordered two new HEPA filters and cleaned the whole thing out. Gonna run some Lysol through it once the filters come in and should be fine. I probably should've bought it for parts but I went to a yard sale also yesterday and they have the same Dyson vacuum cleaner for five dollars as well but the guard and most of the plastic down by the front was broken off of it. I'm not in the repair business though I don't like taking time to repair stuff to sell it not to mention I don't have much room to store another one!
