WHOOOHOOOOO!
Just the name takes me back to the summer of 1994, 8 of us kids piling up in a beaten up Ford Escort in ol' Santee, California, racing down Mission Gorge to get to Thrifty before they close the ice cream section. It was close, but we made it. Glad to see this old time brand make a resurgence.
Times have changed though, as have ice cream prices. Back then it was about $.49 for a scoop of ice cream. Nothings that cheap anymore, so those people complaining about the price, c'mooooooooooon. Personally, I'm okay with a $1.79 for a scoop in a standard cone. This is a stand alone business, not part of a store "like the olden days." Still the same great ice cream. Hard listening to complaints about their prices when their ice cream counterparts are more than double what they are charging. It's a buck more than it was two decades ago. Good enough for me, I'll pay the extra dollar every time just to take that trip down memory lane.
Welcome back Thrifty's Ice Cream!
