I was never much into the mug scene till recently when I found a Harvey's Lake Tahoe Barrel Mug at the local Salavation Army. I understand this is a pretty common item as far as vintage items go, but now I'm hooked! It got me excited about hunting for vintage mugs. So my question is this for the for the veteran wild mug collectors: I recently took a job with 1/2 day Fridays, which seems like a good deal for thrift shop visits ahead of the weekend crowd. What is the best day to hit the thrift shops & beat the antique dealers and everyone else? Mid-week, Mondays, Fridays, or just hit & miss random luck? Any and all input appreciated!! :)
Hey Aaron,
The thrift shops around here bring out little roller tables of new stuff every half hour or so it seems. I've been known to to stop by daily on my way to the gym (lunch time-ish) because it's on the way. Maybe not the best area to be looking (like I mentioned in post above) but still worth a look. I don't think there is a particular day when they haul in the new goods--seems like a daily, or several times daily event (here anyway-@-The Goodwill Stores). I'd say go often as you can like maybe a quick run through during your lunch hour. Good Luck!
