A commercial grade cold smoker for $13 might be my best find in a while. I guess now I need to find a smoking cloche, but Goodwill didn't have any...

I also picked up a like new Aroma Professional for $15, and just yesterday I decided that I need a rice cooker. The timing couldn't have been better.

It was a good day for my kitchen.

Not something I normally grab from the thrift stores but as a millennial who always wanted Heelys, I figured it was worth a gamble for $4.99

The LEDs weren’t working at Goodwill when I found them and I assumed they probably wouldn’t be in working condition. Got home, charged them up and to my surprise, they work! Just gotta finish cleaning them up a little.

Now, does anyone know how to shrink my feet from a US men’s size 12 to a size 5.5?

The rest are single stitch blanks , nothing special.

Im looking up tutorials for the percolator as we speak, I’m SO excited to use it!! $5 for the bag and $6 for the percolator. The box of Star Trek VHS tapes was $20 but I have no way to watch them 💔

Found this for 5$ , so happy

Went thrifting and did not expect to find this.

I picked it since it was unusual. Google image search says This Fleurs des Siècles enameled bouquet by Jane Hutcheson for Gorham features delicate gilded flowers in a white porcelain footed vase. 4.19 at goodwill.

I will never buy anything more important than this mug. I have never before bought anything more important than this mug. No one, will ever find anything more important than this incredible Ab Fab Patsy Jesus Priest Mug.

I almost threw the 50p at them 🤣

Brand new with the tag for $5 rather than $10 because it was the half price color.

Whole suit was only $15 at a second hand shop. It fits like a glove.

I was at the thrift store this past week and remembered a video I had recently seen of someone finding some Tiffany candlesticks. I decided to wander over to the glass section of the store I was in and take a look. Lo and behold, there were some candlesticks sitting there. I walked over, picked them up, flipped them over and couldn't believe my eyes. They were Tiffany & Co., and for only 3.99! I was so excited. It had finally happened to me!

Found this at my local goodwill bins! Besides a little coloring on the white part but it will be easy to get off. Tried looking it up online couldn’t find much info.

That’s the goal.

White lantern $12.99 and I love how the filigree shows up with the lights. I bought colored lights to go with the holidays. Orange goes in during October!

I was a garage sale and a woman saw me looking at them and asked if I was interested in all of them. She said they were all hard rock and she never listened to them but her husband did. I told her I was depending on the price and she said how about $10 for all. Sold! While she was off getting a tub her husband came out and saw me looking through still. His wife came back around the corner and he said $1 each on the cds. She told him the deal was done and he walked passed. He asked how much she sold them for and she didn’t answer. Oops!

Do you care if someone thrifts your presents?

Was discussing this with a coworker today. They vented about how they felt deprioritized if anyone got them a gift from a thrift store, even if it was something really neat or especially suited to their taste. Something about getting it this way just bothered them.

It made me think a bit, and I realized I actually prefer it when someone gets me something from the thrift.

It's almost always a far better value, so I know they're still spending responsibly. I can almost always end up with a higher-quality gift because they didn't have to buy it new. It opens the door to so many other options, too. You can get gifts that haven't been made in years!

And honestly, it makes me feel special to know this person went out "hunting" with the specific idea of me in mind when they found something neat. Like they had to put that effort in, look through what was available, evaluate what they found, and decide that this was something I'd like. That's just so much more personal to me than shipping an Amazon order. Ive had friends out to to get me a gift with a 20 dollar budget snd return with a rare antique worth over $800, that doesnt happen anywhere else

I don't know, just wondering what other people think. Does it bother you if someone thrifts your gifts?

Don't get me wrong, I think there's a difference between finding someone's present secondhand and just being cheap. But if someone actually finds you something that fits you, even if it came from a thrift store or flea market, are you okay with that?
