The phrase, "one man's trash is another man's treasure" is certainly one that rings true for many. Something that has been sitting in one person's closet or attic collecting dust could mean so much more to someone else. This is just one of the reasons that thrift stores can be so great.

Since I was a child, I've always loved checking out what others have thrown out. I was turned on to what is now one of my favorite bands, Kyuss, after blindly buying one of their CDs from a thrift store years ago because I thought the cover art looked cool. As a teenager and still, to this day I've loved wearing flannel shirts to stay warm and every single one of them that I've ever owned has come from a thrift store.
