After a long hiatus, I went into two thrift stores earlier this week. Big prices, poor quality. I remembered why I quit going to such places. There was a clue, though. As I passed down one wall of the worst of the two stores, I noticed a locked door that said "e-business employees only." It is possible they could make a mistake now and then, but the likelihood that they would let something good slip into the local store and leave a bargain is greatly reduced. Slim pickings for me and I won't be back. There are a few local thrifts that don't have an e-business and I might be tempted to go to them from time to time. They certainly get my donations.
Yard sales have always been my best hunting grounds. Yes, you wear out a lot of shoe leather, but, when you do find something worth having, you can generally negotiate a decent price.
Happy Hunting!
