Marita Brukthandel

Marita Brukthandel
Drammensveien 64A, 3050 Mjøndalen

I found my new favorite second hand shop :-D. Its called Marita Brukthandel, located in Mjøndalen about 25 minutes drive from Kongsberg. Open 3 days a week, Tuesday, Thursday from 17-20 and Saturday from 11-14. I like it because its very convenient: the distance, the opening hours and the variation of the goods they have.

Here you can find almost everything from books, kitchen stuff, CDs, DVDs, LPs, clothes (some are new and still have the tags!), shoes, furniture and accessories. In comparison to the price, Marita is cheaper than Fretex (in my opinion).

One thing i love about second hand shops is that you will never know what you might find. I found this collection of old recipe books for 20 Kr.


Inside one of the books there are a few additional notes. as you can see on the picture below. It said on the top page Middag/Dinner 17-4-23, i assume its April 17th, 1923??. Look at the price of the egg (second from the bottom) in that time, it cost 0.60 Kr for 3. Now days, the cheapest you pay for 1 egg is 2 or 3 Kr.
Vintage/old stuff fascinates me :-).
