Cheapskate at heart

So, I really like thrift stores and second-hand stores. I love the low-pressure shopping and the thrill* of finding a unique item that's a fraction of its original cost. However, I hate people stealing goods.**

Thus, I was conflicted when I read this article from the Vancouver Courier:
Cheapskates hanging up blades, and other stuff

Although I read the article in the print paper, I found it online to post in my blog. Another advantage of checking out Vancouver Courier online was finding some related articles if you are interested in reading further:
* I even think Salvation Army had an ad campaign with "The thrill of the hunt" last year

** Not only do I feel hurt when someone steals my stuff, but I don't like that it's a lucrative business for some people. It seems like it would be a very slippery slope.
