Just a quick note to share my Unique Thrift haul from yesterday. We had 1/2 hour to kill so I took Deal Kid to look for Nerf guns for his birthday. Lo and behold, we found this beauty for $3.93. A quick Amazon search told us that the Nerf Hornet AS-6 Blaster
Would I have spent $67 on a Nerf gun? No way! For his bday I would have spent $20, tops. This way the Nerf Gun teaches Deal Kid the value of $4 and has him feeling like a million bucks! Deal Kid wants me to let you know the bullets easily have a 25 foot range. He’s running through the house shooting six bullets at a time and terrorizing Deal Dog as I write.
To recap, here are my two favorite thrift stores in the area. Please share your finds!:
BThrifty (http://www.b-thrifty.com/) If you haven’t been to BThrifty yet, it’s a thrift store the size of a small Wal-Mart and worth a visit if you are in the area: it’s at the intersection of 123 and Rt. 1 in Woodbridge, across the street from the Aldi (which is also worth a visit). It’s not quite as well stocked as Unique Thrift in Merrifield http://imunique.com/pages/FallsChurchVirginia/ (the thrift store to beat all thrift stores), but it’s getting there.
