Thrift Store List
In these "economic times" it's great to see so much interest in bargain shopping. It is my true passion. I'm considered the "thrift store queen" and I have indoctrinated many others with this economical way of shopping over the years. I live in the Village of Piedmont.
Last April I organized a Spring Fashion Show at our church and 1/2 of the fashions came from TJ Maxx and the other 1/2 came from thrift stores - it was a huge success!
I do have a list of the stores that I recommend in Ocala, Belleview, Leesburg, Eustis & Lady Lake. I know where to find clothes for $.05, $.20 cents, and I rarely pay more than $1. Some of my recommendations have furniture and some do not. Unfortunately, TV doesn't have any local bargain stores, the closest one is run by the Villages Hospital and it's in Lady Lake.
Chuckinca had a good suggestion for local bargains on furniture - Censible Furnishings in Bailey Plaza on Rt 441/27. I volunteer there on Thursday mornings. Someone else recommended Ayers in the same plaza (they are not there anymore).
I'll share a little tip with you - wherever I travel on vacation, I get on "whitepages.com" and query "thrift stores" - Viola! I map them out before I get to my destination. Great fun.......................
I would be most happy to share my list with anyone interested. Stop in to Censible Furnishings any Thursday from 10-1pm and ask for "Vita" - or - I can email the list to anyone interested - Send me a private message & I will get it to you. If anyone needs a "guided tour" to get you started, let me know.
