I never usually go that far south, either, but Jacob had his CMS appointment down there, it's right near the thrift store, and I saw so many cars in the parking lot I was intrigued.

Let me tell you, it is worth the trip (about 40 min from my house). I got a full wardrobe of work clothes for dh -- five pair pants (Dockers and that style but not brand) and about 8 nice button-down shirts -- in great shape, plus some pants for me, for $40. Everything *nice* is priced at under $3. Most things are $1-2.

I went to that Salvation Army last weekend! Ugh, I was so ticked off...everything just completely overpriced.

I have not been to the new Thriftko in Sanford yet, but I go to the one in Casselberry every so often. I go to the Goodwill you mentioned, too. Got a lovely Schwinn ten-speed there, old school, for $10.

I love Sweet Repeats and bring tons of stuff there. I like that their prices are decent, but you do have to look carefully at the clothes as they will occasionally have out a stained piece that someone missed.

Glad you found your glider!
