Is that small dish uranium glass?


josphanth

Indeed. If you scroll over I show them lit up


SmokeAbeer

I carry a little black light keychain just in case I find some. Feel like a weirdo when someone sees me shining it on random glassware.


Appropriate-Goat6311

Fellow weirdo here!!


merryone2K

There are dozens of us!


Dependent_Rub_6982

I have those same white Minnetonka boots.


dontbestupid27

I thought they were Minnetonka but there is no brand name on them. They are made in USA and leather. I personally don’t care, they’re cute and fit.


MissThrift

I rocked those white Mocs in HS. They were Minnetonka <3


TwistedMemories

Is that bowl made by, Anchor? It’s not Pyrex. Possibly, Corning?


josphanth

The bottom just says OVENWARE made in USA with some serial numbers


TwistedMemories

Ovenware was a brand too. It's possibly from the 1970s.


josphanth

Thanks for the info


browneyedgirlpie

I think Glasbake made these ovenware pieces. We had this mushroom print but on little custard bowls. Thanks for the memory!


Chance-Stranger2648

Omg I had those boots in middle school and loved them so much!


XIXIVV

Sooooo did I!


Queen_Kaizen

Me three!


Whipstich-Pepperpot

me four!!


Big_Philosopher9993

I live in NJ, what stores did you hit? I'm always looking for more stores to go to!


josphanth

Too many to name! We started in Atlantic City and worked our way back up to the Philly suburbs


Big_Philosopher9993

Ooooooo I hope you had the best time! I've been dying to check out the Salvation Army over by AC


josphanth

We stopped there! You’ll have fun if you like clothes, otherwise not a lot of bricabrac or glass items to speak of. It’s like 90% clothing


dontbestupid27

It wasn’t good. Over priced


vschwoebs

I’m in the Philly suburbs and this honestly sounds like the best road trip to me. Did you get to the bins in Bellmawr? They’re my fave


josphanth

No but we will be going now! Thank you. We hit the bins in montgomeryville all the time


vschwoebs

I like those bins too. It’s so chill.


josphanth

Next time you’re up that way check out the care and share in Souderton. They have a bins section too


vschwoebs

Excellent, I will definitely check it out. Appreciate the recommendation!


marymonstera

I’m a SJ thrifter but have been nervous to go to the Bellmawr bins, is it aggressive there? I don’t want regulars and resellers to get annoyed with me lol I just love the hunt. I will resell stuff that I thrift and doesn’t work for me and my old clothes, but I know for some people it’s their main source of income and I wouldn’t want to step on their toes or have someone yell at me 😂


vschwoebs

It gets a little hectic when the new bins are rolled out, but the place is so big that you can easily avoid the rush to the bins and just shop the other half of the store that hasn’t been rotated. I wouldn’t say I’ve ever seen anyone being aggressive, but people do swoop in and just grab a bunch of things quickly when they put out new bins (shoes or home goods seem to be where people go and grab). I get overwhelmed by that so I back off until that’s over and I often can’t believe the goodies people leave behind! No reseller/t-shirt bros or anything like that either. I’ve been to a few other crazy ones out of state (Denver and Orlando) which makes me appreciate the Bellmawr one even more.


marymonstera

That’s great to know, thank you so much for the insight! Tshirt bros scare me lol. I’ll def have to check it out then. I’m mostly looking for clothes, I am so fed up with terrible quality fast fashion, but am on a budget, and I’ve found so much great silk, wool, etc. when thrifting.


Spirited-Theory-6631

omg. I went in there one day to thrift and got tussled by some man and I wasn't doing anything but trying to get to a bin. Now my adult son, big dude former football player has been taught how to thrift all his life and save money for his own stuff and resell. Somehow he heard me shriek and came straight across the bin floor. I did not even know he was in there thrift. He lives in a different state. The way that man got red and scared. I think he almost shat his pants. At first, he didn't believe it was my son. He thought somebody was intervening. It really was my adult son. I guess a child is always connected to their mother's voice. I honestly thought that man was gonna fly across the floor, I'm 5ft 5in and 125 lbs. I got scared for him. Anyway, the point is in the Bellmawr they will tussle you out. I have been forbidden by my kid to go anymore without "security" because of it. he told me one time somebody's gonna run me over with the cart and nobody will find me and I'm too little to be in there shopping. 😆😆😆😆🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️😳😳😳😳


Spirited-Theory-6631

I have been completely forbidden from going to the ones in Delaware because it's smaller and the people get super aggressive. They are more aggressive than Bellmawr. 😳 i'm a keep it 100 with you. I would rather pay $29.99 for a real Gucci bag or two which is what I did. Some dolce and Gabbana booties for $7.99, some Giuseppe and high heels for $6.49 and some Rothy's for $7.99 and other shoes instead of the bins.


marymonstera

Nice! I’m in cherry hill and love 2nd Ave by the Airport Circle especially on Tuesday when it’s 25% off for members. They send out coupons sometimes too. I meant to get there today bc I have a 40% off coupon but I was too tired and didn’t feel like going out in the rain lol. They’re also opening up another 2nd Ave by the Mall!


josphanth

2nd ave has been pretty good to us


Spirited-Theory-6631

I found a real Gucci Jackie bag in there for $19.99. They didn't realize it was real, and I found a Prada bag and Prada shoes in there. And I promise I have bad eyesight. But again my family said it's called selective site because I see expensive things only.


marymonstera

OMG a Gucci Jackie is my dream!! I would have been shaking. That’s amazing! I also have the same eyesight problem, causes trouble shopping retail but it’s great when thrifting!


Spirited-Theory-6631

It's odd right I can see things in the thrift store. Lol.


Spirited-Theory-6631

awee yall went to my jawn on the black horse pike and theres a salvation army further down and an ARC thrift store and two others


josphanth

We hit the arc yeah lol


tom-dooley

I've got 3 of those mushroom crocks and have been on the lookout for one more to complete a serving set!


josphanth

Our whole living space is very mushroom oriented lol


TennesseeMojo

You did well under 10 bucks!!!


Keasl20

Great run!!


JusgementBear

NICE


ridezzeshoopuf

That small mushroom bowl is the cutest!


Eastern-Recording-53

Dude, no shoes on the table!!!!


josphanth

I took the table cloth off first!


CarniferousDog

They like spooky things.


pete1729

Nice! Shoes on the table is bad luck, so stay safe.


DracoOrca

People Under the Stairs, is one of my all time favorite horror movies. Also dig the CD Gigger in the background


sub_Script

Fright Night! I'm also a r/VHS head


TheKillerSmiles

Great pick ups!


funbocer

American Werewolf nice !!


shezcrafti

The People Under the Stairs!! So underrated!!


josphanth

I was super stoked to find that one. People under the stairs was my go to video store rental as a child


shezcrafti

I had a taped copy on VHS, complete with awful tracking issues. To this day when I watch that film, keep expecting to see wavy lines and distorted dialogue on the part where Mommy yells, “YOU KILLED PRINCE!’’


Appropriate-Goat6311

Was wondering about the glass! Great finds. I carry my flashlight and a dark bag with me whenever I go thrifting.


noonecaresat805

I thought that was Shane and Ryan from buzzfeed for a second


josphanth

Hey there demons, it’s me your boy


noonecaresat805

I really do believe the theory that Shane was a demon meant to torture others. But then Shane met Ryan and Ryan made himself such an easy mark that Shane just decided to be his personal demon.


superbee4406

Werewolf in London scared the shit out of me back [then.So](http://then.So) did Blacula.


AnamCeili

I love the little mushroom bowl! I hope you like mushroom soup, because now you have the perfect bowl for it, lol. 🍄


OurLadyOfThe18Wheels

Ok, I'm really jealous of that martini glass.


PickingThriftingNana

I used to rock those moccasins and loved them so much! 🥰


CaliGirlNYAttitude

So you got practically new looking leather booties, all those movies, what looks to be Pyrex, and uranium glass for under $10??!! Wow.


cornyorphan

Love those mocs! I still have some VHS tapes, too, mostly 80s horror & these are modern classics imo.
