Dear Neighbours,
Happy Halloween! Welcome to the October edition of the Killarney-Glengarry newsletter. Once again, I hope it finds you well.
Back in May, when stores started to open up once again, the first store (other than the grocery store) that I visited was my favourite local thrift store, 17th Avenue Thrift. Since then, most of my recreational shopping has been in thrift stores. In Killarney, we are lucky to have three good ones, all within walking distance. The other two are the Mission Thrift Store and the Women in Need Society Thrift store (WINS).
Being on a budget, the thrift stores have become the first place I look when I need a particular item. Thrift stores are also fantastic places to find Halloween costumes. Why buy new, when you can find a gently-used or even new item in a thrift store for a great price?! As well as saving tons of cash, these stores also raise funds for great causes. Win, win!
Until next time, take care!
