So far I have collected a rocking chair, three lovely mismatched dining room chairs, a wooden table with a tiled batik style top, a gorgeous cherry table, and a vintage cherry tube radio/ record player. Chairs averaged at $15, Side Tables at $3 and the radio was $15. Not to mention the $20 leather jacket!! Bomber style, lovely sorrel color, with an antique map design on the silk lining, and in great condition. If you thrift often you can surely live like a king on a paupers budget. The biggest tip I will give is: Avoid "antique stores", "vintage boutiques", and the like, as they overprice items. Stick with garage sales, estate sales, and goodwill.
