Best Thrift Shop Find

Posts: 955
I found an amazing deal through a friend while camping a couple weekends ago. My wife and I have a common friend from high school who we are still very good friends with. We camp together with our families a couple times a year and the ladies decided to go thrift shopping while out in the country. My wife decided to stay behind and shortly after the other ladies left I got a text message from our friend asking if I was interested in this Egg. I sad to her "hell yes, does it have any cracks" she says to me " just some crazing". That egg came back to the camp site. Her husband is a chef but he never cooks on a small scale so she knew he wouldn't want it. Its a very nice Mini, needs a few parts but Dizzy Pig has me fixed up and has ordered a new Daisy Wheel and band set. Id say it wasn't a bad deal for $40.

I thought you over paid at $4,000. Then I looked closer. $40 is a great deal! Nice score.They don’t want a population of citizens capable of critical thinking. They don’t want well informed, well educated people capable of critical thinking. They’re not interested in that. That doesn’t help them. That's against their interests. - George Carlin

I thought getting a big ol' Griswold for $10 was a good find....

BBQ is a celebration of culture in America. It is the closest thing we have to the wines and cheeses of Europe.
Drive a few hundred miles in any direction, and the experience changes dramatically.

Thanks guys! Some of you all are extremely funny! It’s been a while since I’ve been active in the community. I forgot how awesome you guys are!
@Teefus I don’t think so. It was found in a thrift shop out in the country. The town had a whopping 100 people or so in it. A bunch of houses out there still have out houses. It’s a very repressed area and I bet most people took one look and said why the hell would I want a 12” grill and had no idea what it was. The way the tape was stuck to it, it had been there a minute.Bristow Virginia XL&Mini One of the best feelings in life is watching other people enjoy the food I cooked! -
