What's the best thing you've bought at a thrift store?

I went yesterday and found a really nice coat that looked like it was hardly used. I think it was like $10 too.

My son's ski coat. One of the benefits of going to ski in a fancy town is their thrift shop has brands I could never afford.

That's a good point. We don't have a thrift store round here cause when most of us make up our minds to get rid of somethin, nobody else would want it.
I have an old coat I'm gonna get shed of... it turned into a vest and two pole liners, then it was a puppy bed liner and chew toy :)... come to think of it, maybe I'll wait till Winter's end. It can stay in the trunk and I can poke it under the tire when I get stuck in the ice.

I keep telling everyone about my 50 cent cardigan. No one cares.

50 cents, you can't go wrong with that!

Apparel is 50 cents on Wednesdays. Thats good if you have a bad shopping habit like me.

50 cents is nuts! Even if you were it once! You can't even buy a rag for that! @Calliope:

I bought this CD for $1.25. I would have paid $125 for it.

I have no idea on fashion i'm afraid.
But, i always look out for books and records in those sorts of places.
I have a few first editions of 'classic' books that i've found over the years.
Same with old jazz recordings on the old shellac records !!

A few years ago I found a Dolce and Gabbana winter coat, I love it.
