There a...Yeah, around here it depends on the shop. There are some shops that I avoid like the plague, including the Salvation Army, as what they tend to charge for things is kind of ridiculous. I was actually REALLY surprised to find the Pyrex so cheap as collecting Pyrex is pretty trendy anymore and people tend to realize that at the shops and price accordingly. But, sometimes you can run into some pretty run down looking items that just need a cleaning for cheap (like I did here). I'm sorry Tupperware is so expensive where you are :(. Here Tupperware is looked down upon...probably because we grew up with our parents just being buried in the stuff since it was so hot in the 70's. It is great for those of us who love the vintage stuff because I can always find it pretty cheap if I am just willing to wait and look for it.Erika, "The Make Do Homemaker"https://www.blogger.com/profile/09303208981550053539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7536514511090897212.post-1838793507056788002015-06-12T00:51:52.839-08:002015-06-12T00:51:52.839-08:00I wouldn't be able to pick up such things for ...I wouldn't be able to pick up such things for cheap here. The charity shops where I live seem to think they are some sort of boutique and charge more for traditional, now seen as 'quirky' items. It's really annoying because it's cheaper to buy a boring old plastic storage container than it is to buy something that is at least 30 year old. I do love old style Tupperware though so I guess that's where the heightened price tag comes in.Michelle https://www.blogger.com/profile/02576243822021491274noreply@blogger.com
