| - What? A thrift store? *squeals tires and Tokyo drifts into parking lot* I'M THERE! NO FURTHER EXPLINATION NEEDED!
For those of you who know me, I love checking out thrift shops and second hand stores. You never know what your going to find, and each one had something different then the other.
When I pulled in here today, it was surprisingly busy. Parking lot was mostly full, and considering it's a Thursday afternoon, I guess that's a good sign. I didn't know what to expect when I came in, so I was glad to see a decent selection of stuff when I entered.
At first, it seemed sort of typical. Men's and women's clothing organized by size, purses, shoes and other stuff in the back like books and knick knacks. I found a few tops that I liked, and a set of Party lite candles. At first I wasn't paying much attention to the prices on the clothing, but after I was digging for a bit and found a few name brand items. I was like "oh, this is kinda cool to find a Liz Claiborne top." But I noticed that it was really expensive. Like $15. yet, the surrounding clothing was substantially cheaper. Why? Because it wasn't name brand. They seriously mark up the really nice stuff, like the top that I found, and charge less for the no name items or the ones in worse shape.
For a thrift shop, I was surprised at the huge range of prices here. Some of them were reasonable, and I understand that they have to make a buck, but its not a consignment store...its a donation based place. If Goodwill will sell me the same Liz Claiborne top for well under $10, YOU CAN TOO. Don't charge me triple the price. I've done a lot of thrift shopping in my day, and trust me, that's way to much considering its shoved in the middle of the rack and your making a 100% profit off it. If this were a consignment shop, I would understand, but its not!
Secondly, this place had no changing rooms. How the heck am I supposed to try stuff on to see if it fits properly? FAIL! Also, they had only one register open, and I got stuck behind a lady who was buying literally half the dam store. I can get past the line thing, but no changing rooms in site? I ended up putting the clothes back because I couldn't try them on.
I did score some party lite candles here though, so that made the trip worth it. I would go back, but I wouldn't say it's on my short list. If you are driving by, stop in and give it a whirl.
