Yes, I’m responding to my own comment!
Today I happened to take some things to a charity shop closer to my house, Renaissance, and happened to find a pair of Sorel boots for $10. Not brand new but in fine condition – those aren’t “pretty” boots anyway but outdoor boots for serious cold, snow and slush. They are very popular among young people now, even for city wear. They are far from cheap in the shops.
Also, an electric wok. My electric “multi-pot” died. The manufacturer (or rather, local wholesaler) told me to send it in for a replacement, so this wok (in fine condition, but the other one is more versatile as it is much deeper and good for braises and soups) for 15$. It was clumsy carrying the stuff home, as I’d already bought cat food (discounted this weekend at Mondou), but I managed.
We have to look up Meezer (or Siamese) appreciation day, AV. Since the country is now called Thailand, we don’t risk sites dedicated to the people of that country.
Now I have to get rid of two things from my flat…
