… no thrift shop can be described as inherently good or bad. On any given day, the quality of merchandise depends entirely upon whatever happened to drift in the week before." 

Excerpt, June 16th, The Thrift Shop Diary

Being broke

This entry was inspired by real life events. When I was a graduate student and broke, I used to redeem my cans and bottles on Wednesdays and then go The Goodwill and buy clothes about once a month.


Wednesday, June 10th, 2:56pm  
Dear D.,  There are days when I leave the Salvation Army feeling as if I got everything for free. Today was one of those days.  First, I found a pair of shorts for myself (@ $3.99); then I found a shirt for Jules (@ $1.99).  Because it’s Family Day, the total came to $2.98.  So I opened my wallet and discovered only twenty-dollar bills.  Rather than break a twenty, I checked my purse and paid the $2.98 in quarters, dimes, nickels, and yes, eight pennies.  I left the store thinking: “I just bought about thirty dollars’ worth of merchandise with spare change.”  No wonder I’m an addict.
