'Value' Village...well...not so sure anymore...

Value Village knows brand names and it shows! I thought I was being so thrifty...Well Value Village is now pretty expensive if the idea has a brand-name label on it. It's not a good deal and sometimes going to that brand-name store and buying it at the end of the season may even be cheaper. Yep.
I did find a really cool dress there this past week...Maybe should not have bought it...Do you ever find it hard to wear a dress or top and then nobody ever says anything about it...Do you wonder...does it look bad on me? Am I the only one who likes it? Maybe the mirror was right and it makes me look fatter? Hmm...I had to dust off my running shoes the other day...but did not put them on...After sprayning my foot this Spring I am still pretty nervous and running no longer comes easily.
I made have to start heading to elsewhere...except that all the other thrift stores aren't close and so it's not really a good deal after all the driving...Oh well...I just had to keep a lookout for some great pieces that are not over-priced. Any great finds out there this past week?
