The East End Thrift Store - A bargain hunters dream
Other | Monday 24th September 2012 | Osh
Hipsters, fashionistas and hell anyone who loves a bargain, have I got a treat for you. This Thursday from 7pm – 10pm the East End Thrift Store are throwing a one night “Poundland” event.
I love vintage but I hate the fact that it costs double the price it originally sold for twenty years ago. If you feel the same way I do why not head on down to this night of amazing steals? A hidden legend, the East End Thrift Store is unknown to many but loved by hundreds more.
Almost as wonderful as the beautiful vintage bargains on offer this Thursday is the free bar. I find there are three staples to any intense shopping event: leggings, a good bra and a hip flask of tequila to mute the sounds of your dignity flying away as you strip down to your grundy undies in front of an unwilling and frankly horrified audience.
For those of you still lucky enough to be riding the student stingy train , you get an extra 15 percent off your treasures. You would be forgiven for feeling like you have robbed the place as you sit on the tube home, atop the mound of bargains wedged between your nylon chaffed cheeks.
Shoes , booze and barely a dent in the bank balance - what better way to spend your Thursday night than waist deep in pretty dresses and petticoats.
