Never. I'm at the stage where I'm trying to get rid of stuff.

I am a veteran shopper of second hand stores. My mother Introduced me at a early age and I have continued for a good 50 years.I can't recall the last new shirt slacks etc that I bought new. I definitely have" the hand" I touch every piece of clothing that i'm looking at.

I bet you looked like Blondie in the Dagwood comic throwing the clothes in the air during the sales at Tudbury’s! Have you tried the Amazon store on Niagara Falls Blvd? The only thing I got was a bag of Fancy Feast cans that apparently someone returned because their cat didn’t like it - Henrietta and Tomas enjoyed it!

No, I have never been to the Amazon store. I will have to go! You always have the best ideas. p.s. I always cracked up at the name Tudbury's.

Not quite as rugged as the floor of the Anchor Bar, but memorably rugged nonetheless! The Krasner's coat will surely be seen at Lounge Academy. Thanks for sharing in my adventure!
