Thrift stores can be some of the best places to shop and find something fun or unusual. They also can be "what the hell is that?" kinds of places.
Bridger Thrift has a nicely selected collection of items you'd find in a thrift store: clothes, dishes, glassware, toys, shoes, furniture, art, miscellaneous goods. Nothing unusual about that. What made Bridger Thrift standout is that everything was useable. I didn't see any torn, ripped, sketchy stuff and surprisingly, there wasn't a lot of dust. Either they sell out quickly, or the staff takes time to clean and keep things looking fresh. Of course, I may have been there during a time the inventory was getting a refresh, and maybe it was fluke.
In any case, the people are great -- helpful, but not pushy. I found some glass jars that have been very hard to come by, even in main-stream stores, so I walked out of this thrift store with my stash placed in a reusable bag. The circle of recycling complete.
