Wednesdays, you can usually find me at one of the Salvation Army's on the South Shore. This is half price day, and if thrift store finds aren't cheap enough, on Wednesday's, clothes are half price! This sale excludes one color ticket (usually the newest arrivals) and only includes clothes. I have found unbelievable treasures at the thrift stores. Last week, I found a new (without tags) faux suede & shearling Sigrid Olsen winter coat, for $10.00! I bought a beautiful sky blue linen suit for $3.50, and a Tahari black blazer for $3.50! I have also found Coach, Dooney & Bourke and DKNY handbags on occasion. You DO have to have the patience to look thru a lot of merchandise to find your diamond in the rough. My only complaint would be that there is no dressing rooms in the stores. I also think their pricing is kind of "off" sometimes, I've seen pleather jackets priced higher than leather jackets, and sometimes things just seem to be priced needlessly high because of their brand name. In contrast to this, I've also seen lesser known premium vendor labels priced lower than they'd likely sell for (the Sigrid coat, for example). I get compliments all the time on my wardrobe and few know where it all really comes from!
