Thrifty

I love to shop at Thrift Stores, and I recently found a new one. It is called Uptown Cheapskate, and is a chain. I had never heard of it. Anyway, they only sell clothes. Unlike Goodwill, they will actually buy your clothes, rather than you donating them. It was kind of fancy inside as well. Did not buy anything this time.




Speaking of Thrift Stores, I spotted these two ladies coming out of Goodwill.




I think the pink hair is really pretty. I would dye my hair like this if I wasn't so old. I would just look ridiculous at my age.

It sounds like a fun placed to visit. I love that last poster. Oh, come on. We all know thrift stores don't count. 😊

Maybe it is a wig? I also don't mind donning one if I were younger. Lol...
I also like to go thrift stores, in Sacramento, they have Goodwill too, Ecothrift, Deseret...

I haven't been in a thrift store in a long time. I'm guessing since they buy the clothes the prices are higher than most thrift stores.
There was a lady in the store last week. She's older than me and she had a light purple hair. I'm not a big fan of unnatural colors in hair but it really didn't look bad on her.

That pink hair really stands out

we have lots of colored hair down here. I am thinking this might be upscale clothing, name brands maybe. back in 1993 i shopped for nice dresses to sell Real Estate in. The dresses then were ones that would sell for 80 to 100 dollars, selling for 40 to 50. a lot of money back then, i bought suit jackets to wear with pants, and got really nice ones. other than that I have been unable to find any clothing in goodwill or 2 others that i have visited. since i do not like shopping and going through clothing, that could be the reason. say I want a certain type of blouse, i want to walk right to the size i wear and look through those only. just doing the slide hangers looking drives me crazy. they do have them by colors. our good will is all junk

I love shopping thrift stores although we only have a few around here. Salvation Army being one and we do have a Goodwill but I don't shop there. I think pink hair looks good on the right person.

I think I would love a touch of purple in my hair. I think we might have one of those stores down here.

That's a catchy name, I wish I had one around here. I'll have to check. The balloons would be a real draw. I see different colored hair and I often think how pretty it looks. Now if I was younger. Great quotes! I can relate to Dory with her attention span.

I love to go to thrift stores too but rarely find anything worth purchasing. We have a "Falling Prices" outlet. Tuesday everything $6.00 Wed. all $4.00 Thurs. all $2.00 Friday all $1.00 and Sat. 25 cents.
It truly is a madhouse. One has to "steel" themselves to sort of dive into the bins to find the treasures which come from Amazon, Target, Kohls and some others. many are in unopened boxes or packages...Only done it a few times and did get several things.

What a fun name for a thrift store. We have a couple of different ones here in town but I don't go to them very often. The bright pink hair is certainly vibrant. I just can't understand the fascination with dyeing one's hair such unusual shades.

Ha, I love the last funny. ;-) That is me!

HappyK said...

We don't have any good thrift stores in my area. Just seems like just have things that people couldn't see at their yard sale. :)
Can't say I'm a fan of pink or blue hair, but that's just me.

My late mother was the queen of thrift store shopping. She did not go for fancy ones that charged too much; she was more a Salvation Army kind of gal. She was tiny, so it seemed to be easy for her to find cute pieces and often, if you complimented her on an outfit or part of an outfit, she'd say "Thanks! I got it at Sally's (Salvation Army) for fifty cents, on half-off day!" She was so proud of herself. One year she gave TG a sweater vest for Christmas. It was sort of a tan color with a Fair Isle pattern. It buttoned up the front. Shortly after Christmas, TG emerged from our room sort of wearing the sweater, and looking confused. "I think your mother gave me a women's vest for Christmas," he said. He was right! The buttons were on the wrong side for a man. It's lucky that my TG is so good-natured and he was not in the least offended that he got a ladies' sweater from the Salvation Army for Christmas. Mom could have easily afforded a nice, new men's sweater vest. She was just a cheapskate, haaahaha! and not the uptown kind. xoxo

The thrift store has a festive store entrance. I love to shop at Goodwill, but don't have one up here. There is an antique shop that I visit from time to time, and like browsing through all their things. Wow, her hair is bright pink! I love that last quote, and so true, isn't it? haha

It's the thrill of the hunt, isn't it??

The best thrift store in our town closed down several years ago and I miss it. I like the pink hair too. It would not work for just anyone though, even if they were young, but looked really pretty on her.

You are not too old to have pink hair. I've seen many grannies with both pink and purple hair. Good on them for having fun. Why not go for it and have fun too?

My new dresses were fifteen each. When people tell me they like my dresses I say thank you. but it at Label Shopper for 15 bucks.
