Near my office is a small shop called Stock. It is one of many Second Hand shops. Shops which acquire second hand clothes from somewhere in Europe and resell them.

Every Monday there is a biq queue outside this shop so it was time to investigate further. The shop it appears is re-stocked every Monday with ‘new’ second hand clothes. I saw sweaters from M&S and jackets from the rubbish bin. Hence the rush every Monday to find the best stuff, or shall I say wearable stuff.

But the best bit is the pricing. The clothes are sold by the kilo. This of course demands me to buy silk and other light clothes. I remarked to my devushka that as she is quite small and tends to buy XS sizes this store is perfect for her as her clothes will weigh less and be cheaper :-)

But that is not all ! On the Monday the clothes are 100UAH a kilo, which drops each day by 10UAH, so 90 on Tuesday down to 40UAH a kilo on Saturday. If only coffee was sold this way …
