Since I grew up in Georgia and live in Alabama, I guess I can make fun of the South a bit. I know Southerners are constantly stereotyped as country bumpkins, tasteless, redneck, and just plain uncouth, which is completely untrue. But, looking at this pic, I’d have to say we resemble that remark occasionally. My friend Judy, from Atlanta sent this to me recently and it is supposedly an actual picture taken in the Birmingham metro area (I won’t name the actual city), shopping at a flea market outside a Walmart.
Look very closely at the pic and then you’ll get it…..the caption that came with the email was so good, that I’m passing that on too. I didn’t write it, but I’m sharin’.
Now I ask you….
Who stands and looks at a pair of men’s briefs and says hummmm …I can make me a nice summer top from these!!
On the other hand … $6 for a three pack is a good price!! But what if they weren’t bought new? That’s redneck recycling at its best. Don’t throw out yer feller’s drawers when the skidmarks don’t wash out no more. Just cut the crotch out and wear ’em.
How very Green!
I just had to share this one. If someone here locally knows this girl, I don’t think I want to know that. 🙂
Monday, I’m going to start a Today’s Thrifty Treasures party and every Monday we can share our yardsale/thrifty finds from the weekend (for a few Mondays anyway). So, come back on Monday and we’ll get that started. See if you have something you can share with us and add it to Mr. Linky!
The giveaway from Engraved Euniques in the post below will end Sunday night and the winner will be announced Monday a.m. There’s still time to sign up!

I called my hubby in to see that one. We laughed so hard we cried.
He kept saying, They are in public, can you believe they would wear that in public.
Too funny

I think after seeing that I can truly say, “I think I’ve seen it all!”

THANKS,RHODA…..for sharing that. You made my day! I tell that is one thing you would never catch this 55 yr. old doing.I made vow years ago that I would never make my children dust the furniture with their dads worn out underwear…It was like the dreaded chore growing up having to pick up my dads’ old undies still all in one piece and dust the furniture with pledge – something about that generation in how they would recycle things. And, heavens to betsy that girls top takes the cake!!!

So…I wonder how much “up front” the lady had, as it was all in the butt of the underwear. No, I take that back, I don’t wonder & I don’t want to see a picture of the other side…with my luck it will have a deep V cutout.
