I go to the thrift store about every other week, or every payday. You never know what your in for unless you go. It is hit or miss but I can certainly say that when I do find something it makes the fruitless visits all worth while. I have gotten bulbs, aquariums, filters,plumbing, and even tools here but as I mentioned it is a mixed bag. Things change every week and the only way to know whats in shop is taking a glance. I have also acquired a number of books from these stores, recycling at its finest.
