I love second hand shops
Jun 13th, 2019 at 4:20am
 
I've managed to lose three tennis balls into bushes in a fairly short space of time and just as I thought I should be getting some replacements, I found two tubes in a second hand shop for 1€ each. Right under the label was the original price. Not bad.

I've found some pretty incredible stuff in charity shops and second hand. What's some of your best savings or weirdest find?

Before we moved off grid we would go to the local one in my town. Would find cheap video games, and consoles. I think the best thing I found was a round table,  that I converted into a kumihimo table. Unfortunately I have yet to actually use it, or attempt to learn kumihimo since I got it.

That's a good deal. Nice

   Around here we have Thrift Shops run by Goodwill.  You can find just about anything there and they're dirt cheap.

That's where I got my table in the Woodbury Heights on route 45.

   I usually go the the one on the White Horse Pike in Stratford where J.M. Fields used to be.
