Jay's one of the east's best ski areas too. Same story with a Loon Mtn hoodie pretty much but I didn't get that one because I would rather ski down 20ft muddy hill in Florida after a hurricane than go back to Loon. Any time I want something I know I won't find anywhere cheap (like leggings that fit with pockets, especially ones with super cool patterns) I go to Savers. Just make sure you throw anything fabric from a thrift store that can handle high heat in the dryer on hot before you bring it in wherever you live (or somehow else treat it for bedbugs--I got a cool bag I wasn't sure would handle a dryer on hot so I put it in a plastic bag in another plastic bag all sealed up and put a bunch of lavender, eucalyptus, and peppermint oil in there on tissues and cotton balls and diluted in a spray and I'm just gonna wait some months and make sure there's no activity of any type).
Yes definitely take precaution to keep away bed bugs. I had them back when I lived with my mom and they were a nightmare to deal with. Literally nothing got rid of them and the landlord did nothing to help so we got stuck with them for years, it was terrible. We tried everything. Thankfully I don’t have that problem in my supportive housing apartment now and if you do get bed bugs here they will treat the apartment for you.
