Big finds at the Thrift Store!
I got an aebleskiver,(sp?) pan and a Romertopf clay baker for $5 each!! They also had a complete Presto stove top pressure cooker, (weight and good gasket included), but I passed on that. It was worth...

Thrift stores are hit or miss
You are right. As much as I like them if I go in and it smells like dirty laundry or the place is unorganized I turn right around and leave.
Sometimes those are where I find the best finds.
If anyone is ever in the Chattanooga, TN area... The Goodwill store on Hixson Pike (near Northgate Mall) is a good one. Or at least was. Chester Frost County Park (campground) is right down the road from it. I was camping at Chester Frost (visiting friends who were there also) and during an unexpected cold snap, realized I needed more blankets (I had only one blanket and only "summer" clothes as it was "summer" and my "winter" stuff was in a storage unit... silly me... lesson learned it wasn't summer yet). Thrift store to the rescue. I got a few "winter" clothes", really nice blankets, long sleeved shirts and a nice warm men's London Fog jacket. I still carry the old jacket with me too. I have learned that it is better to buy the "higher end" clothes rather than the stuff from Wal-Mart. So now
I shop for the quality "labels". Is anyone else surprised at the amount of brand new clothes that still have the price tags on them? I just bought one like that but the sweater had dirt streaks on it, like it had gotten drug on the floor. Washed up nicely.
