THRIFT SHOP FEAT. WANZ (OFFICIAL VIDEO)-* Warning - If you are offended by swearing, don't watch it!!! For 18 years +



I  did a LOL for real when I heard the lyrics to this song. Great, now I will be singing it to myself when I go thrift shopping. First, let me say, I have always loved bargain shopping. I want to say that I started doing it as a single mom with 3 little girls and that is true, I did, because I needed to, but I think my love of the bargain goes way back. I remember getting excited about rummage sales and I would always frequent yard sales and flea markets. Another thing I remember from childhood: hand me downs; I always loved them. I would always pass my clothes on to others as well. I remember my aunt would take them to a family close to where she used to go camping a lot. I would get a written thank you in the mail from a little girl I never met before.

Funny store about me and thrift shopping. I had my granddaughter here visiting and I told her I wanted to take her to the "Black Market" which is a cool "retail" store in Halifax. Anyway, Sarah kept saying "no, that is okay, you don't have to take me". I insisted, told her she would really like it, she did and then she added "it isn't at all what I thought it would be". Now I am curious "why is that Sar?" to which she replies "I thought it would be all dark and musty and stuff"...LOL. I guess not everyone in the family is a fan of the bargain bin.

I am glad that frugal shopping is now a trendy thing to do. I now have a reason to see if my skills are still sharp - an ever growing grandson . Not for my granddaughter, she wants no part of it..lol
