Thrift-store-cheap.
I can't say I've paid that much attention... Perhaps not. You can always check it out yourself.

Haven't been there in quite a while, but it should be just as "cheap" as anywhere else. Our colt used to go there all the time for shirts and jackets!

True... Halloween is big at Savers!

Many yard sales are even better than that!

Then it's your job to find me some awesome vintage salt and pepper shakers, Z. I like ones shaped like anthropomorphic animals and fruits/vegetables. They should be ceramic and small knicks are okay.

You have your mission.

Jill, I just came across this link while searching for something else and thought you might enjoy it. The store on the first page folded, but there are 2 more Tucson links and you just might generally enjoy the blog.
