on the town monday - secondhand stores

this weekend i took advantage of goodwill's 50% saturday sales. i found 2 polaroid cameras to add to my collection: a swinger sentinel and a rainbow one step. the joy of finding these cameras was overwhelming (especially the one step because i have been admiring it on etsy for so long) but the best part of it was the price. i paid 4 dollars total for both! i love all the secondhand stores in my area. back in provo there were 2 stores to chose from - a deseret industries and savers. both were extremely lacking when it came to intriguing selection. now there are at least 3 goodwills, 1 savers, 1 deseret industries, plus various other named thrift stores and a buffalo exchange near me now within the same distance that the 2 thrift stores were located from my home in provo. i don't think i have to say it again, but i love living in arizona.


p.s. today i went to deseret industries and found a small wooden radio flyer wagon and toddler style brio train set. the grand total was 6 dollars. and baby rode home with the wagon in his lap and a huge smile on his face.

We are huge goodwill fans. Most of Reeds stuff is second hand. But Sunday he had his Gap shirt and Polo cords on... And I swear $5 total wasn't spent on it. Anyone who pays full price is crazy.
