Not so much a weird thing, but more a weird price.

My local thrift store are known to have high prices. Not because they sell high-quality stuff, the prices are just high. The most insane thing there is what's clearly a jar that used to hold pickled beets. It's clean, though, I'll give them that. Pickled beets are cheap and available in all groceries here. The thrift store chose to price this, empty, jar at 150% the price of a new jar including pickles!

We live in the same place. Pickled beets and overly expensive thrift stores.

Sounds like they were in quite a pickle.
