I love looking around secondhand shops. You never know what you'll find. I also conveniently live within walking distance of five.
This weekend I visited Savers - Greensborough (a suburb in Melbourne). Twice in fact.
Savers is a chain of secondhand goods mega stores in the US, Canada and Australia. They give a bit of their profits to charity but I'm pretty sure the company makes a fair bit considering all the stuff they sell is donated and I'm sceptical of how much (%wise) actually gets redistributed to those in need.
Their pricing of items also seems a little bipolar, some good stuff is reasonable but absolute rubbish will have ridiculous prices and some things you could get cheaper new at a normal shop. Just plain odd.
Will this stop me shopping there? No but it is something to keep in mind. It helps avoid the big spends on stuff I don't really need.
But on from the depressing and slightly bitter.
I won't go through all the stuffs I brought but please admire the little lace butterfly. He was a bit costly for what he is at $4 AUD but two days later I still don't regret it so I know I made the right decision.
He's much cute.
