On the way home from church tonight, driving my ugly *** beater XJ, I stopped at this grocery store here in downtown Phoenix to buy a bottle of Mountain Dew. This particular grocery is most frequented by well-to-do uppity Phoenix folk, and the parking lot is always filled with fancy new pricey cars...something my Heep totally is not.

I got out of my $1000 dollar Heep Jeep and walked in the store and everybody in the store stared me up and down.

I might have gotten upset about this, but today I knew why they were they were trippin'... I was wearing my $1 thrift store suit that just so happens to have been a really awesome deal cus this $1 suit looks like a million bucks and fits just right!

Best $1 I ever spent....cus in my $1 suit, I was wearing far sharper clothes than anybody in the whole frickin' store! All those richie rich nose-in-the-air, shabby-****-clothed fools were trippin out that I was dressed so sharply when they looked so scroungy...

Money ain't ****. Especially when you got none!

 

You weren't in Scottsdale by any chance were you?

 

Damn. Now I have that Macklemore song stuck in my head.

 

Most of the uppity people i know are deep in debt trying to keep up with the jones.I rather live debt free and broke vs spending money ill never have.

 

This thread is `****ing awsome`.

My little boy and I love our thrift shop. All procedes go to the volunteer fire department. He gets toys and I get books.
We don`t wear much clothes around here, it`s the beach.lol

 

no...... no its not.


bet he smelled like ****...... but it was 99 cents!

 

You know more of the lyrics than I do.

 

This place was the Disabled American Vets thrift store. Best thrift store I have ever been in! This was in Prescott Arizona, and that town is a strong polarization of ghetto and wealthy and a good giving spirit. I have bought 2 sharp suits for a buck a piece there, and lots of other great stuff!

Probably the coolest part of this story is my secretly knowing that my hoopdie Jeep could have just used any of their cars as a ramp! A good thing should the SHTF and we gotta drive over em!

 

Hate to tell you but if a emp strike or solar flare hits us bad no car made in the last 50 years will start but for the early diesels from the 80s.

 

You spelled it wrong.

It's "Trift" Store.

They made a mistake when they first put the store there and painted the name on the building. They decided to keep it that way.

 

This thread title makes no sense. My Cherokee turns its nose up at every BMW, Porsche, Mercedes, and other "luxury" cars it sees....LOL

 

You do know what the difference is between a Porsche and a porcupine, right?

 

one has the ****** on the inside...

 

Porcupines don't spontaneously burst in flames.

A porcupine has the ****** on the outside.....
