Wow! I didn't think that we can buy such treasures in U.K.! UK stands for ukay-ukay by the way. Yeah! I've said you may think that I'm cheap and all but there are times that we have to go to these so-called "Thrift Shops" because if you're going to ask me, there are so many things that are still useful and of course you have to wash it three times!
This would be the third time that I went to these shops. And man! This building that we ransacked was really a treasure trove! I was able to buy a pair of khaki pants (for summer and an additional to my list of things to buy!) and a long sleeve jacket (for office). I was also able to buy a Zara Men pants and a Levis long sleeve polo. How chick no?
It took us about 2 hours to find those and it was worth it! There were five or us who brave the five-storey building. We started at the top most floor and we went our way down. Most of the shops sold clothes, for men and women, they also sold toys, furniture and other weird stuff (Happy Meal Toys! What the!).
Yes, you heard me right, Happy meal toys. I don't understand why they have to sell that. I don't know if Mcdonalds can sue them or not but I don't recommend you guys to buy that (that is if you're going?) because you might be in trouble also.
If you want to brave the ukay-ukay, just be ready. Be ready to bargain, to search (it's like digging for gold or anything that is buried) or scavenge. You'll be surprised, again, on what are the things that you'll find! Maybe you can buy an Armani Exchange shirt for P150, a Louis Vuitton bag for P1,000 or a Levis Strauss na pants for only P250.
Ukay-ukay's are like 7-11 stores. It's everywhere! So go! If you're free and if there's new arrival at the store! Start the adventure of a lfetime!
