A Thrifting We Will Go

"We haven't been there in awhile," Mr. Ginley mused. He was gazing outside the window of Nate's Deli, where we were enjoying lunch.
"You may love it but the cat won't."

The "there" in question was a second hand store. While I knew in my heart of hearts there wouldn't be anything there we needed and we shouldn't be dragging home more stuff, the thrill of the chase is difficult to overcome. 

So, off we went, across the street to see what treasures we could find.

Mr. noticed right away that in spite of posted signs with prices for each category, many of the items had stickers with a number and dash after it. Like "5-" I thought perhaps this was some kind of code but agreed we should ask the cashier when we got to the counter. Turns out, Mr. was correct. I was peeved. There was nothing on the sign that said "except where marked" or "the actual price may be 5x what the sign says."

Anyhow, amidst the flotsam and jetsam, Mr. and I managed to find several things, some useful, others not so much. 
Not a clue.

And yes, I got a jigsaw puzzle. It was the price of doing business, as they say.

I'm just happy I didn't get talked into the green hoot owl picture, the oversized Thomas the Tank Engine toy (for our someday grandkids), the outfit for the cat or the big German beer stein. 

Admittedly, I was tickled to find this kitty-themed nightwear. 

Although I think the pom poms are a bit much, don't you?
