Solved: The Thrift Store Anomaly

Remember how I was puzzled by the lack of quality at the second thrift store I went to (in a trendier area)? Well, my credit card statement explains a lot. As it turns out, the thrift store where I scored great stuff (in a not-so-good area) is actually designated as a thrift store for a very wealthy part of town. That is the "rich area thrift store" I've been looking for.

Needless to say, I'll scout out that store more often =).
