I went from spending $80/week in there to $20/month. And now...good luck getting the twenty bucks out of me. They haven't stocked jewelry since before the Pandemic started, and now most wire shelves are pretty barren. Once in a while I'll find something, but it's a surprise when that happens. Silver? I can't even find brass! </p><p><br /></p><p>The real charity thrifts are small, and one of them now has someone checking all the jewelry.
