OH SNAP! -- Thrift Store Grand Slam.

Remember what I said earlier today about coupes and thrift stores? Do you remember that which was said this very morning?

Walked into a place today, looking to kill some time, and saw a coupe in among the drinking glasses. I asked the old-timer behind the counter if he had any others, he responded by pointing to a whole case full of them.

"How much?" I asked the old-timer.
"How about 25¢ each."
"How about it."

Most of them are regular, one that says "Bride", another saying "Maid Of Honor", two saying "25th Anniversary", & two of them very delicate and shallow (like me).

Walked out of there with 13 of them. Would of cost me $130 + Tax and S/H if I sourced them online.

TOTAL AMOUNT THAT I SPENT ON THIS: $3.25

The matter of how to serve cocktails at my upcoming soirée is no longer an issue.

P.S. Pic is lousy, expect some better shots soon when the glasses are filled with hooch.

Thrift Store Score

Had a good run at goodwill. My favorite is the coupe on the far left. The coupe is intended as a champaign glass, but it does a lousy job because of all the surface area it gives the drink –– the champaign goes flat too quickly (that is, if you decide not to take it all down at once). It was repurposed, quite adroitly, for cocktails where you often want a large surface-area on the drink. Another benefit is that the curved sides reduce the spillage you can get with a standard cocktail glass.

They're difficult to get in stores, you can't really find them at a standard crate & barrel kind of place. Internet, of course, but, if you take a day to hit some thrift stores, you're sure to pick up a few.

But hell, if you've got the lettuce, buy a crate––Why? It's very simple:
