Anyone else like to wander around through second hand/thrift stores?
Best finds? Weirdest ones?
I wandered into our local thrift store today and left with a pretty good haul of stuff. I bought some pants, a nice pair of boots, four (yes, I mean 4) jars of old buttons, a yarn embroidery cat picture in a nice frame, and a tiny white and gold porcelain chicken XD

I once bough a dress for 5 euro. It was from a brand that costs around 90 euro for a new dress.
no but I've been wanting to check some out. seems like it might be fun.
I love thrift shopping!
I found a painting by a painter my mom collected for two bucks.
Some lula roe leggings for 4.99
I always check out the art supplies too.

Are ya ready, guyz?!
Thrift shops around here are mostly walmart quality things, or extremely worn to where if it were up to me they would've been recycled, not put up for sale cuz they look like they'll rip an hour after purchase
Antiquing, on the other hand...not any local ones but boy oh boy if I find something I like
Also auctions are fun in that aspect too, there's a nearby one that's hit or miss but there's always something interesting there

Put ya guns awn!
I go thrifting at least once a quarter. I usually hit up 3-5 stores per trip and just have a good time. Most of my work clothes and shoes come from there. It's great because it's not only cheap, but I know it will hold up in the wash (even if it says dry clean only) since they all just get tossed in the washer before going out on the floor. I also scope out things I can convert for cosplay.
It just doesn't make sense to pay $30+ when I can get it for $5

I love thrift stores and consignment shopping! I'm really cheap. I hardly ever buy clothes full price.
I recently went to a store that gets all of the stuff that other stores can't sell? I really don't know how it works, but I saw these camping chairs that were at Target all summer that I did not want to spend $20 on and bought them for $6. They are pineapple shaped and I love them so much. xD
The store was full of just random stuff. It had a table where you could test all of the electronics and there are signs everywhere telling you to make sure of your purchases because everything was sold as is. It was amazing.
@lithium: If you like the leggings, there's a group I buy from on facebook that sells them for $0.99 and $4 shipping. I buy LuLaRoe dresses, skirts, and shirts from the same group too. :vivi-celebrate: I go on the group and shop their sonlet shop links.

Please ping! I get distracted easily. 
Thrift shopping is awesome. I go every two months or so.
We do not have a ton of places to go, but I usually find at least one thing. :3

@Totalanimefan: One big store, and a couple of to y consignment stores. I don’t go into the tiny ones much, though.
