We just have to keep on trucking and trust our thrift-instincts on which secondhand spots are worth our time, and which are just downright lying to us about their merchandise. But yes, rant over! Don't worry. My next post is in much better spirits!<br /><br /><3 Jackie Jackie Jardinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13010905516066081090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9022660958638733493.post-42851173752858401962015-06-25T20:14:20.052-04:002015-06-25T20:14:20.052-04:00Oh my word, is is not (what it used to be). I'...Oh my word, is is not (what it used to be). I've touched on this on my blog numerous times and it's a genuine shame that things have gone down the rabbit hole that they have (likewise I find that yard sales are so very far removed from what they were up until a few years ago now - in these parts at least). <br /><br />On top of the steep prices and judicious use of the word "thrift", I find that stores now know the retail value of their items and price them at, or even above it sometimes, this point - which to me defeats the purpose of trying to help the community stretch their dollars further. It's like you want to say, don't kid a kid - you're trying to be a vintage store peppered with mostly bad nineties clothing and have forgotten what a true thrift store and its prices are really like. <br /><br />Okay, that's the end of my wee rant for now. :D<br /><br />Hopefully you'll have better luck in the next area you're able to hit. I certainly haven't given up hope entirely and am still out there and optimistic on a frequent basis. <br /><br />♥ JessicaWitchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.com
