Erin – I really don’t like erikshjälpen much anymore. I find they are too expensive. I go to flea markets (esplananden is a fav) and to thrift stores in the country side. My mum is totally nuts for thrifting so we go all over Skåne. I’m all kinds of cheap and probably wouldn’t pay 70 kr for a jacket. The coat I bought today was 30 kr. I quite like Uggleboden in Lund but otherwise it’s flea markets. The ones run by sports teams are excellent but a bit mad.

Where do you find most of your thriftscores? I had the best luck at Erikshjälpen for household stuff, but not so much with clothes. I actually found my favorite jacket (a forest green corduroy vintage number) in the Stortorget for 70 kronor. It seemed like a lot in the middle of the summer when I knew I wouldn’t be wearing it for months, but it was one of the best purchases I made in Sweden. Looking forward to seeing the yellow coat!
