We do have lots of Goodwill stores in the area and many other smaller ones. Speaking of carts, our GW only has about 6 carts!! Customers are not envious of what's in the carts, they are envious FOR A CART!! I can't shop without a cart, so I have actually walked out of the store and gone back another time. I have protested to the clerks and they are trying to get more carts from their "mother" store in Indiana, but nobody is listening to them. I could go thrift shopping every day of the week, but we would be in the poor house and I wouldn't have a house to decorate anymore!! ):Andreanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5810421124797752596.post-86723255186299323262009-07-11T23:33:03.212-06:002009-07-11T23:33:03.212-06:00I too am a DI shopper (in Idaho) and any other thr...I too am a DI shopper (in Idaho) and any other thrift store in reach! Our DI used to have a woman that spent hours and hours there--daily I do believe, because she was there every time I went and she was very agressive in her shopping. She would go so far as to help the employees put the stuff up off the big roll away carts, so they could get new carts out faster and her cart(s) was always overflowing. She was a stalker to the max and I believe she ended up being banned from the store, because we no longer see her there, but I have seen her in the grocery store (also pushy there too). Of course I get cart envy--any normal thrifter does. LOL! But it's bad when you're the one being envied! LOL! <br /><br />Cathy ♥Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14628766883973904828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5810421124797752596.post-82503824642103324402009-07-03T08:46:43.499-06:002009-07-03T08:46:43.499-06:00I'm guilty as charged!

Oh well, it may have been somebody else looking at my cart thinking the same thing. I love thrifting. But youre mentioning huge stores. I only have to major stores here, goodwill and salvation army. Though in the last six months I have seen a lot of little consignments and thrift shops sprouting around town. Maybe its the economy's effect. I need to go check them out...<br />Hugs and enjoy your trip...<br />SoniaSoniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03385132131667434574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5810421124797752596.post-64986040577796044002009-06-11T09:13:03.690-06:002009-06-11T09:13:03.690-06:00I confess that I'm also a DI shopper and have ...I confess that I'm also a DI shopper and have often been a cart stalker. The most memorable occasion was when I spotted a vintage red picnic basket in someone else's cart with a $4 price tag on it! I nonchalantly followed her around the entire store hoping that she would set it down, but eventually had to give up when I was in line behind her at the check out stand - sigh!Gaylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04466709417592027635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5810421124797752596.post-41746395706045097992009-06-09T16:56:09.723-06:002009-06-09T16:56:09.723-06:00I have this same thing at Goodwill stores.

I got a great dress form like I'd been wanting for $25 and was so excited. I like to buy skirts, sometimes I alter them to make them more my style.

uuummmm well, ...Oh girl, this is such a cute post! <br />uuummmm well, are you Mormon?? JUST KIDDING! <br />Cart Envy...I never thought about it until you mentioned it! It must have been a subconscious thing with me because I never really "diagnosed" myself as having it. I am guilty...but not to the point of asking for anything in basket. I just pray that if they changed their minds about something that I want...it would be at the register waiting for me when I check out. Joy!<br />Well, let me add "cart envy" to my disorders...thank you for the diagnosis!<br />everything vintageJodie (everything vintage)https://www.blogger.com/profile/05124360606762194428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5810421124797752596.post-43409927066975070242009-06-09T07:17:03.417-06:002009-06-09T07:17:03.417-06:00Hi Stacy, I would love to join your group for a l...Hi Stacy, I would love to join your group for a luncheon each month. What a way of having a good time with the girls.<br /><br />Hey Great Job with the photos! <br /><br /> My heart beats fast when I get to any place of sales... My friend and I get so excited even when we drive into a yard sale, we can't get out of the car fast enough because of our similar taste. People look at us like we're a couple of nuts. The way you describe your ways of getting around the thrift store, I think you're as crazy as we are. Your my kind of girl!<br /><br />Hugs-Sandy~Romantique Inspirations~https://www.blogger.com/profile/05460262354481955991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5810421124797752596.post-45821541855153138992009-06-09T06:28:58.160-06:002009-06-09T06:28:58.160-06:00I could be your "thrift shop sister we are so...I could be your "thrift shop sister we are so much alike this way!"
