Scotch Zukington Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 So this past Sunday I happened to visit (2) local thrift shops, not by choice but, the little woman dragged me along.. 🙂 Anyway.. The first store, I strayed off course from my girlfriend and found myself staring at (2) 10g tanks.. One had a note inside saying NO FISH.. Odd.. So i picked both of them up for.. ready for this.. $5 for both.. I showed the check out person the note and said well.. ill have to fix it would ya take $5 for both... Yup SCORE... 2nd store.. By this time I'm like a 5yr old, as my woman is dragging me up n down the isles, as I just wanted to go home and check out my new tanks. Again, I wonder off... and what do I see.. ?? more tanks.. WTF, I'm like OK, I'm buying a lotto ticket on my way home.. One was a 20g tall, back of it was cracked pretty bad, the other was a 5g that was nasty with old hamster bedding.. Me, I'm like Score.. I'm looking around and moved a box to the side, and BOOM.. a whole box of Filter Cartridges (Large) 8-packs.. I'm like yea, these are opened and all full of crayons or something.. Nope, no sir, all un-opened. 6 boxes worth.. SO now I'm debating the 20g.. But I took it 🙂 The last haul I ended up paying $10, I couldn't believe my luck.. I stopped in at Lowe's, asked for them to cut me a piece of glass for the 20g, and now it's in the garage drying.. Man.. What a haul.. and I thought I'd share w/ you guys.. If yer low on cash, and have a Sunday afternoon to kill, check out yer local thrift shops, as they get a lot of items every-day... I think this will be my Sunday routine.. Ohh and I did go buy a lotto ticket.. 🎫 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gardenman Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 My local thrift stores are horrible for fish tanks. They'll want $30 for a used ten-gallon tank. The prices they ask for are crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I remember correctly, the glass I got was 3/16.. Don't quote me on that, but for some reason, that stick in my brain atm.. 🙂 FYI : I did buy a lotto ticket, and the Lotto commission called me and said I owe them 24 million, yea that's my luck. heh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
