We have quite a few thrift stores in our town. The best deals are at Salvation Army on 1/2 price day, but if you are not there first thing, the good stuff is gone. And when you are there first thing, it is a dog eat dog world! I leave Goodwill empty handed many times, but I still like to wander and I do find great deals from time to time. I think the differing prices is just so peculiar--I got these candlesticks for $4 and $3 , but just saw some similar ones priced at $12 each--I left them.Becky@Beyond The Picket Fencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01703689071243759492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7713737015238007071.post-73316305367347712852016-10-02T09:11:51.126-06:002016-10-02T09:11:51.126-06:00I love Susan Branch--I will look for her blog.I love Susan Branch--I will look for her blog.Becky@Beyond The Picket Fencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01703689071243759492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7713737015238007071.post-584202925936135482016-10-02T09:11:02.188-06:002016-10-02T09:11:02.188-06:00Thanks!

I agree that in the past several years the thrift stores have gotten more and more expensive. And garage sales also.Debrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15844348669040574042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7713737015238007071.post-26440351513470278892016-09-30T23:11:21.581-06:002016-09-30T23:11:21.581-06:00Ok will be repetitive and say aqua candlesticks ar...Ok will be repetitive and say aqua candlesticks are also my favorites, good find. Do you go thrifting often and do you have thrift stores close to where you live? Goodwill in Grand Junction is as expensive as going to Walmart or Kmart. Sometimes Habitat is too, excuse me people items are all given to you. Have found some good deals there but have found it's when have been able to go each week on either Veterans or senior discount days. We live too far away to be hopping over there more than once a week if that, depending on gas prices. Have heard people complaining about prices at Goodwill. Have seen items priced higher than would find at Walmart. Try to only go to Goodwill on Wed. sr. disc.day.<br />Sorry for rant but noticed am not only commentor unloading about prices at thrift stores. Have great lovely Fall weekend<br /> Wish could find some nice candlesticks once in while.. Guess is don't get to go shopping anyplace, let alone at thrift stores often enuf to get bargains. Kind of like being at Target every day to snag $ bargain section goodies, except not a $ anymore.srpprcrftrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02861352034915359506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7713737015238007071.post-78596356499385881702016-09-30T21:11:54.029-06:002016-09-30T21:11:54.029-06:00Very hard to find a good deal but I love looking. ...Very hard to find a good deal but I love looking. I have found a few Susan Branch cookbooks for a good price. She does beautiful watercolor art. She's in England right now with her partner.
