About 10 years ago at a local Salvation Army #ThriftStore I found a bag of 45! perfectly acceptable sunglasses for $3!!! I’d like to give thanks to the organizers of the LAUSD Local District West Westside Serenade Music Festival for both buying too many glasses and to the SA for not pricing them individually. I still have most of them… #thrifting #thriftingfinds

Two friends kept mentioning an old TV show called Firefly. I managed to find a boxset for 50p in a charity shop.

Is the reason they mentioned this show because there is a character called Book?

It's camp, on the nose, and mildly prophetic. And the dialogue is over-written.

One is intrigued.

... and I carry that lunch in a 25¢ bag I bought at a charity #thriftstore! I'm single-handedly destroying the #economy and the bourgeois restauranteur class.

Found a "types of bees" poster at Goodwill yesterday. I'm guessing the artist wasn't really into the task because the honey bee makes three appearances. Some appear to missing their second pair of wings. And venation of the red-tailed bumblebee is a complete mess. I decided not to buy. #bees #honeybees #goodwill #illustration #insects #art #thriftstore

Cutetitos have a nice weight to them and are of nice materials but even that cannot safe them from the panting pup bleb failure that dog plush have so often! Put the TONGUE on the MOUTH. If I did end up buying him (plushies are 0.25 cents at the thriftstore) I'd have to remove that Ghastly Glossa Goatee!
