Awesome, dirt-cheap, and always reliable; great for books 8/18/2005

There's a huge selection at Unique Thrift and I find something I like every time I go. Shopping for men's clothing is easy because some things are hard to do wrong (button-down shirts, khaki pants, and jeans). Any thrift store can sell these well; the fact that Unique Thrift sells them for at most $2-$4 is incredible. They sell other varied things from electronics to strollers to exercise equipment to weights; none of this usually interests me. What is remarkable is their supply of books. At 3 paperbacks / $1, this is my best and favorite bookstore, even though they have only about three shelves' worth of material every time I visit. Somebody else seems to have caught on to this, and lately Half Price Mondays have seen sadly half-empty bookshelves. This is disappointing, but I have faith in my cheap books and I stand by them. Among the romance, thriller, and other predictable trash, there is a thin veneer of fine literature. For a while every week when I visited I got a new Shakespeare for 17 cents; this was simply incredible. Go for the books. Stay for the clothes. (But be warned that it's a thrift store. There's something heartbreaking about watching a woman shop for underwear for her son here.) more
