A passionate past time! Thrifting!

              Since I was a small child, my parents both, made going to the Goodwill, Salvation Army, Veteran Village, etc. a coveted trip. Now, since I am grown, I see more and more "glorified" vintage shops. It's a wonderful thing! To have the masses embrace the threads of another time to breathe new life into them and rock them once more!
             This past Wednesday, I was able to score a day off from work, and go thrifting for a bit. I was in heaven at Value Village. I read some of the reviews on Google and the four that I read said that this thrift store was "high". I had to be the judge of that. The quality? Awesome! My fellow patrons? Elderly and hilarious! It's always fun to shop with a mature crowd. I over herad one lady saying to her gray haired gal pal, " Look! they've got Tommy Hilfiger jeans...mmm these never go out of style!" I peaked through the clothes on the rack, and saw that they where holding up "The Tommys" that had the white Tommy signature down the side of the leg and the big red and white patch on the back pocket. Again, they say the darndest things!The prices?: EXCEPTIONAL. Orange tickets where 50% off, while Yellow tickets where 75% off! Take a look at the deals that I nabbed!This is the location that I visisted.
