Toronto Contrast Winnipeg - Love What You Got

I FINALLY found a Sega Saturn... Here?


Currently, I am taking in the beauty of downtown Toronto. It is a contrast to Winnipeg. I am surrounded by massive towers of condos, a cornucopia of culture and the fast paced life that is Toronto. I am just scratching the surface, but most notably thus far, the Thrifting here costs a lot more than Winnipeg.




Be Happy with what you Got...
I am happy to be a thriftier in Winnipeg. I expected to see a higher price tag on times in Toronto on some of the same items in Winnipeg, but this makes me want to open my own shop. I visited Kensington Market in Toronto today.  Road side shops out of classic houses and buildings, fresh produce market and good eats. My auntie told me the prices used to be good and cheap back in the day, but more trendy (and expensive) now a days. I also didn't expect to find a Sega Saturn - it has eluded me in Winnipeg for years...Check it out.

Fun times and a great experience. Toronto is a great escape to an almost a new world. In the end, I am a true Winnipeger, I still like a great deal... and am willing to drive to Toronto to find it.

Happy Thrifting.

Artsy Check it out. My wife found these hot vintage Adidas bags. I love old things that still have function in today's world. If this bag could talk, what would it say? What would it's history be?
