The Official Thrift / Discount Store Bragging Thread Part III (Sept 2018-)

[Fueco]

That feeling when your first stop is fire... Boots are AE Dalton.

S/O to the people who ask for a whole cart of Goodwill glassware to be individually-wrapped at peak hours. Disputing prices for good measure. Four cashiers cleared 20 separate people, and this one old couple *still* held up my line.

Good thing I found some utterly bonkers ****. This was supposed to be a 10 minute pit stop :O

I was there ~18 hours beforehand, and came up dry. I only passed through because I know that this store's immense turnover sometimes means... Well, that things like this happen

I don't always check t-shirts but when I do, this is the weird-ass **** I'm hoping to find. 2XL single stitch.

Z Zegna Stripe 56R and Current Samuelsohn Hopsack 48T (both on half off day)

Hickey Freeman insulated winter crossover sport jacket M. NWT jacket from a brand called Caracciolo Napoli. Poorly made but real nice pattern. 48 IT.

Textile and lambskin wimmens moto

NWT Samuelsohn 46W. Current Samuelsohn 38W. Incotex Chinos 36. Arcteryx A2B Commuter Pant 38

Prada 40. Prada 9.5. Magnanni double monks (also all on half off day)

A bit off topic but it's kind of a brag and about a thrifted item sooo...

Just finished a handstitched full resole on these Edward Green, pretty happy with the result.

Dude, you resoled those yourself?!?

I had those same Electric Sunglasses in Highschool!

Well you can get back the ol high school feeling for the low price of probably what retail was

Crazy, I had those too in the early 2000's. Resale is definitely higher than retail was. I think I paid like $80 for them.

Had a line experience during a quick lunch stop the other day. I found a few shirts for personal, go to the line and its 25+ deep, carts stacked full of ****, and I'm at the very end of the line. Ugh.

One of the cashiers is calling the next customer, but no response. He must have been having a bad day, shouts in frustration to the whole line, "DOES ANYONE, ANYONE, WANT TO CHECK OUT? SERIOUSLY, COME ON DOWN."

No one is even paying him any attention...except me. I walk up, pay for my shirts, and save myself 20 minutes.

A win and a fukkup

Sure, in my living room. I've done a couple before but there's nothing too difficult really (except cutting a clean hidden channel, that's the tough part). Time consuming as **** though, finding tools and materials can be tricky also.

Some records I’m excited about today. Did not expect the NRBQ. Don Williams records are very common in thrifts but I grabbed this one because it’s still sealed. He is my favorite country voice ever, his music reminds me of getting up early for thrift road trips years ago.
