a recipe for op-shopping success…

Take one provincial town, a weekday, twenty dollars and two strong biceps. Make sure the biceps trawl the racks till they ache. Locate potential booty and adjourn to the fitting room. Delight in new found treasures on exit from building. Repeat till all the Vinnies shut at 3pm.
