Thrift store holiday prices leave shoppers stunned

Seeing a $150 price tag on a used Christmas tree at Goodwill has folks talking—and not in a good way. For many, thrift stores are a go-to for affordable finds, especially during the holidays. But this kind of pricing feels out of step with what secondhand shopping is all about. Some think it’s a mistake, but others say it’s part of a bigger trend of higher prices for in-demand items. Has anyone else noticed thrift stores charging more lately? Is it still possible to score real bargains, or are these outliers becoming the new normal? #Shopping #thrifting #holidayseason

Boise’s outlet mall: What could have been

The Boise Factory Outlet Mall is finally coming down after 32 years, making way for a truck dealership. Locals have long wondered what could have saved this once-bustling spot. Many say it just needed the right mix of stores—think Lululemon, Nike, Coach, Patagonia, and Michael Kors outlets. Jazzercise Boise is moving to a new, more central location, but the loss of this mall is a reminder of how retail has shifted. What stores would have made you visit more often? Do you think Boise still needs a true outlet center, or has online shopping changed the game for good? #Shopping #Boise #Retail
