tracing back to my boy scout roots, I always try to be "thrifty", and thrift stores definitely help me do that.
Right now I'm wearing a $12 pair of leather shearling halifax winter boots that would have cost me $75 new. Needless to say,,, SCORE...
Value world has a large selection, and helpful staff. It's never the same trip to trip.
This last visit though, I do have to say I enjoyed laughing at the hipsters that had no idea what a pepper grinder was.
