In my youth, I frequented the Grunthal MCC. In my adulthood, I frequent the Steinbach MCC. The bottom line here is that I flat-out love MCC thrift stores. I haven’t visited as many as I would like, but this past summer I finally visited the Altona MCC!

The Altona MCC is actually the very first MCC thrift shop to open! It’s the original, and it’s been quite successful. A few years ago, they even had this massive expansion. It seems way bigger than Steinbach’s MCC thrift shop!

I actually always shop at our local MCC solo, because I linger and examine everything… but Andrew cannot abide this behaviour. “Torture,” I believe he calls it. So, because we were together and I did not want to torture him, I did not have a “proper” visit to this MCC.

So I will obviously have to come back!

I do not regret the zucchinis and pulses I have purchased, but I do regret those items I did not have time to consider purchasing.
Altona MCC, I shall return!
