It is frustrating when you don't find anything so it's nice to at least come across something occasionally.<BR/><BR/>Kin - it's hard when you're restricted the way you are. I like to have a poke around while we're on holidays when I get the time. <BR/><BR/>LS - I know totally what you mean about $2 shops. When I decided to be more careful with our spending, the first thing I did was stop going to cheap shops unless I was looking for something specific.lighteninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13469704721683347931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7073167998075190001.post-32663772991417497862007-09-14T20:31:00.000+09:302007-09-14T20:31:00.000+09:30What another great find you have had and well done...What another great find you have had and well done for persevering through those racks and baskets of clothes and goodies...also for being able to discern what you will use and avoid those items which will one day return to the op shop..... I have to be the same in some of those bargain $2 shops too, and I only go in if I have something in mind. I too have to be in the right mood to go hunting....but it sure is fun when you make it so. Great to hear you also had a great time with DH - a well deserved break I am sure.

Despite ass...Great finds! Our op shops are abysmal. Despite assurances to the contrary clothes are not transported to different towns, and I often find my own clothes in there!! <BR/><BR/>Added to that especially kids clothes that are sold should all be rags, well, I wouldn't want them for my kids, and especially not at $2. I feel another rant post coming on LOL.<BR/><BR/>I was spoilt in the UK too, op shops are more expensive, but you tend to only find either brand new clothes, or lightly used designer clothes, as all their basic clothes are shipped overseas (I reckon to my hometown but anyway ;) )<BR/><BR/>I probably should go more often, but I never find much good at home, when I'm away however hehe.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7073167998075190001.post-45293826164213995232007-09-14T11:32:00.000+09:302007-09-14T11:32:00.000+09:30you do so well at the op shops ~ what great finds ...you do so well at the op shops ~ what great finds :) ~ the only thing I've bought recently other than a couple of books is a pr. of shorts for $3Alihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07636304236237630746noreply@blogger.com
