You won't find deals or treasure in thrift stores. They are picked clean every morning.

Usually by me, but things do slip through the cracks!

HEY..who you callin' a crack? Oh wait..never mind... smirk

Yeah, I forgot to mention the stadium swap meet. Just off the Kam Hwy. And it's huge! If you want trinkets,do-dads and gee-gaws wait until Wed, Sat or Sun and go to the swap meet.

A friend of ours bought a Rolex watch there and had it looked at by the Rolex store and they were pretty impressed that he got it for several thousand less than what they were selling it for.

I bought a very nice Hawaiian Heirloom bracelet at a booth at the swap meet. Ordered it on Wednesday and had it by Sunday. It's great quailty too. I've had it for nearly 10 years and the enamel hasn't chipped out. I wear it 24/7.

I've seen a few people just throw stuff out on a blanket, swap meet junk type stuff. Those people are usually in the inner rings towards the stadium. If you're looking for good junk start on the small rings and work out. It's HUGE!
