“This is why I can’t stop thrifting...”

" From separate visits in the past month to my local thrift store:

a Fellow Ode (Gen 1) coffee grinder — launch price of MSRP $335 for $19.99? Yes, please

a Bose Smart Speaker 500 — original price $379 for $25? Don’t mind if I do

“When I was a kid, we had a fish like this in the cupboard. My mom wouldn’t even let me touch it. I grew up and bought one at the flea market, and I’ll touch it as much as I want!”
