I’m talking thrift store here, as in Goodwill. You got $20 in your pocket, so time to pop some tags.
You would never shop there, right? Well, why not? Don’t let snobbery stop you. There are amazing things in the Goodwill, or any thrift store, but you have to have the right attitude, an eagle eye, a sense of adventure, and a love of lost treasure.
I love this article and I love that because of capitalism, we just give away great items and somebody can come in, pay near nothing, and leave the store with it. God bless capitalism, and I love thrift stores.
"I'm gonna pop some tags
Only got twenty dollars in my pocket
I - I - I'm hunting, looking for a come-up"
"I wear your granddad's clothes
I look incredible
I'm in this big ass coat
From that thrift shop down the road"
