Is it socially acceptable to light fireworks for Labor Day? Well as long as you’re not pointing them at your place of business then I think it’s okay! Thrifty Nickel will be closed on Monday for Labor Day but we will back to normal 8:15am Tuesday morning.

Labor Day was first observed over 100 years ago and is viewed as the end of Summer to many. The holiday is designed to pay tribute to the contributions and achievements of American workers. So to all of you hard working Americans across the Permian Basin, we’d like to say thank you for all your contributions to our community.

I’d like to take a moment and tell you more about www.ourthriftynickel.com. Even though our brick and mortor stores have a closing time, our website is never closed! So if you find yourself on Monday trying to call your Thrifty Nickel and only getting our voicemail, then try visiting www.ourthriftynickel.com. From our website you can place a new ad in just a few short minutes.

From our homepage, click on the ‘Place An Ad’ tab and pick your category. Maybe you have an automobile, some electronics to sell, an old kitchen sink, it doesn’t matter because you can place your ad online with the Thrifty Nickel. Not only will your ad appear in the paper, but also online and maybe even in a certain Thrifty blog.

We hope everyone has a terrific weekend and Happy Labor Day to all you hard working Americans who provide so much to our society!
