*THIS* is why the Sal Val ROCKS!!!

For you "out of the loop"ers out there, the Sal Val is short for Salvation Army Thrift Store. And here is exactly why Ron and i dig going there to surf around 1-3 times a week.

Here are a brand new set of skates, a collaboration between L.L. Bean and CCM, a major hockey manufacturer. From what i can tell, they look to be a Toddler size 9. Next to them, a brand new pair of L.L. Bean hiking boots, Toddler size 7. Sam is currently wearing a size 5.

Both are in pristine condition. If they've been worn at all, i'd say it was no more than 1 or 2 times.

Here's the catch. Total, the two pairs cost us $5.00. FIVE BUCKS!

I did a little research online, and retail, they would have cost me, combined, around $70.

If you've never been to the Sal Val, i strongly suggest you go. It's NOT all stained, holey clothes worn by couch potatoes. A lot of times, its brand new, with tags still on, or very close to new. I'm always finding Sam brand newish Baby Gap and Old Navy clothes for CHEAP.

VIVE LE SAL VAL!
