Check out who Jamaica Funk found! Morales and Josh Check out who Jamaica Funk found! Morales and Joshua! 📷💥🎒 Believe it or not, thrifting has become apart of our culture in today’s society. People could go thrifting just about anywhere, whether it’s an actual thrift store, garage sale, and the flea market. Ever heard of the old saying “One man’s trash is another man’s treasure”. With that being said a popular place to thrift is LTRAINVINTAGE, where Morales and Joshua expressed how they go thrifting there and a few other places. LTRAINVINTAGE has a variety of locations to visit and shop even if it’s for something as inexpensive as $10 or even a higher priced item ranging from $100 and up.
