St Louis Secret: Thrifters dream
Transcript
I really thought hard about gatekeeping this, but if you live in St. Louis and you like to thrift and you don't mind digging, have I got the place for you. So I found this place, it was on, there was a dresser on Facebook Marketplace and I messaged the woman and she wrote back like, here's the address, you know, you pull around back, it's all about the loading dock, park near the orange trucks and I was like, I'm surely going to get murdered. Alas, I did not get murdered and I found the most magical place. Have you ever heard of College Hunks for Junk? You know that moving company? Well, did you know that they have a warehouse? Take a look. So here's what it looks like when you pull up. It is very unassuming, but there the Junk Warehouse. So here's a look up the inside. They've got clothes, they've got furniture, they've got knick-knacks, they've got books, Christmas decor. I forgot to film the furniture area. Anyway, but let me show you what I got today. Kind of a random purchase, but this is like an art cart, like an industrial for our teachers. Online right now, they're like 380 bucks and this was 20. So this huge thing of poly roll. I'm not, I'm not mentioning the prices at the end because they were all individually priced. This was priced at $6, but it's one of those places where you just like take it all and dig it. And you have this much money and you say, it's amazing. Yes, I'll take it. So this, and this um, a print here in this really nice frame added. Four rolls of gift wrap. Two books. Annie, classic. Taylor Swift, never opened. A pair of Banana Republic pants. Old Navy, a sewing, I don't even know what you call that, and what I'm most excited about is this rake. They really don't make things like they used to. Look at this thing. Spring steel tines. Five bucks. Anyway, um, I got that, I'll tell you about that later. But all of this was 45 bucks. So you should check it out. And that's all. Have a good day. Bye.
