Thrift Shop Review #1
Salvation Army Thrift Shop, Scott Street LocationI have to say, this was a fun and sometimes exciting visit to the thrift shop.
Not only did I find a great Jacob shirt dress for $6.00, but we also found the entire trilogy for Lord of the Rings for $6 as well. (OK, maybe not a great deal if you do not like these movies but my husband was thrilled.)
I also noticed they are carrying a line of "green" paints called Boomerang. The colours are surprisingly really soft and nice. I talked with the guy at the check out and he said they are selling well and they have had lots of positive feedback so far. I was happy to see it in the stores and happier to see it at the Sally Ann.
Although I did go in for other items, I find that you have to be persistent and come often to find what you need but also the unexpected (the real reason I go).
This thrift shop was clean and bright and the staff made it very pleasant to shop there. I even filled out a card to have them email me when deals are coming up. It was "Sweaters for a buck" when I was there.
I can hardly wait to go again! What will I find?

Hi Allison,
Paint offers a real conundrum for me, as I have no real understanding of what makes a paint "green." I get that lead is bad; beyond that, I'm clueless. Any pointers?
Thanks,
Rachel
Hi Rachel,
Thanks for the comment.
Since you sent it I have been reading a lot about paint and the pros and cons of different choices out there. I admit, I find it to be confusing.
I found a great blog that explains a lot about the paints and the reason why paint can be bad for us. I hope it helps.
