A friend and I spent the day thrifting recently… which is always good for a laugh.
.
.
These are definitely not bunion friendly.
.
.
What the…
What?
.
.
There will be no cooking in our garage. Gourmet, or otherwise.
.
.
Mark, this one’s for you.
Hide your treasure here. No one will ever want to open it except you.
😉
.
.
I’m at a loss with this one.
Anyone want to guess what it could have been?
The price was $1.99, if that helps.
🥴
.
I’m still getting a kick out of this page so I’m still sharing.
.
.
Now that’s a chair!
And possibly a sandwich.
.
.
How out of touch am I?
I had to look up ‘Pegasus’ as I thought it was some kind of dog harness or rock climbing apparatus.
🥴
.
.
Laughed at this because a friend of mine has the same one… that she also bought at Goodwill.
.
.
And to think of all the time I wasted searching for a couch.
🤣
.
.
I have a friend who’s addicted to thrifting and every time we get together she has to hit Goodwill. Over the years I’ve found some nice things there.
The following are not those things.
.
.
I don’t know what that houseplant did to piss off this octopus, but it must have been major.
.
.
That’s extremely disturbing.
.
.
Even this cat was surprised.
.
.
Oh, no.
Hell no!
.
.
Somewhere, someone thought this was a good idea.
The mind boggles.
.
.
I really need to up my game when thrifting because the people on this page are leaving me in the dust.
.
.
Hosting a dinner party back in the day clearly required some serious skill.
.
.
What the utter Hell is that?
.
.
Because no one wants to take the time to plug in a crystal when you really need one now.
.
.
That’s some ugly ass spelling as well.
.
.
Speaking as a juvenile delinquent who smuggled shoulder harnessed squeezable flasks filled with alcohol into every concert venue she ever entered….
No.
There’s a line, and this is it.
.
.
A few chuckles from the thrift store finds page.
.
.
Well, it definitely beats a gnome.
.
.
A Christian ouija board with a direct line to Jesus.
Who could resist?
.
.
Personally I hope I never see anything like it either.
.
.
No bathroom is complete without one.
.
.
For the love of all that’s holy…
Run!
.
.
The weird and wonderful things found at thrift stores page on Facebook really makes me laugh.
I have a girlfriend who loves to thrift and I’ve seen some odd things going with her, but these people take it to a whole new level.
.
.
Perfect!
.
.
Wow.
.
.
Gallons of holy water would be necessary and I still wouldn’t feel safe.
.
.
I’m speechless.
.
.
Now that’s a spice drawer with attitude.
.
.
Maniacal carrots can not be refused.
.
.
🤣
.
.
Because my life is nothing if not random.
.
.
Call me crazy but aren’t pickled cucumbers just… pickles?
.

I’m really enjoying the weird and wonderful things people find at thrift stores FB page… and would totally have bought one of these for the man cave. Feed me Seymour!
.
.
No climate change my *ss.
Ice fishing is big business up here but everyone is wondering how much longer they can survive without the actual ice.
😰
.
.
Saw this the other day and saved it for future reference. Posting here in case anyone else wonders what those all flashing thingamagigs represent.
.
.
I don’t know what this is, but I want one.
.
.
As you know, I love to blog about the strange things I find when thrifting and antiquing. Past posts have been filled with creepy old dolls and vintage oddities. The weirder the better.
So imagine my delight when I’m scrolling Facebook the other day and find this group…
.
.
Make that 148,401.
This is my tribe!
Here are a few of the delightfully bizarre things people have posted.
.
.
Nope.
I’m not eating off feet plates. Uh uh. No way.
.
.
He’s such a little ray of sunshine.
.
.
I have no words…
.
.
The snowman headband was a nice touch.
.
.
Clearly this T-Rex diva knows her worth.
❤️

When my husband goes out of town for a few days? I get busy cleaning and organizing. It’s so much easier to do when my resident hoarder isn’t around saying “No… you can’t throw that out!”
First up was our utility (slash pantry slash I don’t know what to do with it so stick it in there) closet. I was merciless and got rid of a huge pile of worthless odds, ends and scraps. And buried under all that crap?
.
.
A whole lotta plastic wrap, tin foil and Ziploc baggies. When the next supply chain apocalypse arrives? We’re ready.
🤣
After that clean out I moved on to our walk in closet. This is always a nightmare because I can’t resist a bargain when it comes to clothes shopping at thrift stores. I rarely take time to try things on when I’m there because hey… when a pair of jeans costs $2 and doesn’t fit? Who cares.
.
.
Turns out our closet shelves cared because they were positively sagging under the weight.
Question- how many pairs of jeans and capris did I have to try on and sort?
Answer- 56.
.
.
Nine bags of assorted jeans, capris, blouses, sweaters, purses and shoes ready to give to charity.
There’s nothing like a good purge.
It’s good for the soul..
.
.
I went out thrifting with a friend the other day. We both love a bargain and had a ball at Goodwill and Salvation Army. You never know what treasure awaits.
Banana Republic linen blazer for $3? Yes please. Talbot weekender chinos for $2? I was all over that.
And as we stepped into the parking lot at Goodwill?
.
.
A car that’s definitely easy to find.
After a morning of thrifting, we had lunch and hit TJ Maxx… which I think of as new merchandise thrift.
I had to laugh at this dress on the clearance rack. It was a size extra large with strategically placed cutouts.
.
.
Being a woman of a certain size I can assure you that is not where extra large women want less fabric.
😲
.
.
A can of water.
People will buy anything I swear.
