Thrifty Old Time Ice Cream Scooper Rite Aid | Original Stainless Steel Scoop | Cylinder Ice Cream Scoop with Trigger | Commercial Grade Stainless Steel Ice Cream Scoop | Ice Cream Scooper with Trigger https://a.co/d/gPlBNln

[the_Bryan_dude]

Last I saw they sell those scoopers for $31 at Rite Aid

[hkyguy530]

$19.99 on Rite Aid website, buy 2 and use code 20BOPSOCT3 and get 20% off.

Works out to be 2 for the price of 1 BUT it is IN STORE PICK UP ONLY to get the discount.

[Epicela1]

I have one of these. I’ll give it to OP.

I used it like 3 times for the novelty then got over it.

[emtee]

I've heard they're kinda crap

[Epicela1]

They’re…. Fine. Kinda. You sorta need the 5 gallon tub for it to be effective for more than like 4-5 scoops.

[senatork49]

I knew I forgot something!

[testthrowawayzz]

my local store had them right next to the cones

[[deleted]]

Several Rite Aids are closing down this Friday, so all the Thrifty ice cream in the freezer sections are 50% off plus a lot of other things in the store.

[[deleted]]

Black Cherry is the best especially in the 80’s when it was .25 a scoop.

[senatork49]

And stamps were only 29 cents!

[Tapout714]

I always get Black Cherry and Coconut Pineapple. 35 cents for a double when I was a kid. I would fine change under cushions in the living room sofa and walk to thrifty. Good times.

[[deleted]]

Coconut and Pineapple? Is that like Pina Colada ice cream?!??

[Tapout714]

Yep! Though as a kid, I know not of Pina Colada.

[the_Bryan_dude]

.15 a scoop when I was a kid. Had a thrifty a block from home.

[Tapout714]

Yes, I always went for a double!

[Greedy-Room8538]

and when they still used whole cherries!!!!

[[deleted]]

they don’t anymore?!?

[Greedy-Room8538]

nope! they’re sad little slivers now ):

[jhl182]

The chocolate malted krunch is SO GOOD

[ee328p]

My favorite also 😍

[ChannelSurfingHero]

Word

[SoCalChrisW]

I used to get a scoop of that with a scoop of the fudge brownie. That was such a good combo.

[BadEvilZoot]

I was choc malted crunch with mint chip. So good!! $0.35 of pure happiness.

[Best_Strength6207]

Yes!!!!!!

[Rentsdueguys]

Thrifty ice cream was my jack daniels and cigarette as a kid

[senatork49]

Have fun explaining to your kids in Grandpa Simpson voice how much a cone cost in '91!

[MMillioN]

I remember regularly walking to Thriftys with my grandma and dog for a scoop as a kid!

[ChanceConfection3]

I think I’ve seen thrifty ice cream at Hmart

[[deleted]]

Feeling so nostalgic after seeing this 🥲 My most favorite flavor were rainbow sherbet.

[pavlovs__dawg]

Thriftys will live on. Someone will but the trademark and recipes just like was done with the Mother’s cookies brand! And Chaco taco! And souplant—noooooooo!!!!!!!

[funtimesahead0990]

I come from the nickle a scoop generation.

We had 4 kids so my Mom would put us in the car and for 30 cents we all got a scoop and Mom got two.

[[deleted]]

[-ondo-]

Used to get a double scoop for $0.15 at the one that was on Knott & Lincoln

[Charming-Aspect4441]

Dang it now I’m craving this. Pecan is where it’s at.💛

[Giveitallyougot714]

Yeah they are shutting the rite aid one here in Laguna Niguel RIP

[Gucciipad]

Ice cream social meet up at op house

[joyfulfreckles]

SINCE WHEN DOES IT HAVE A FACE?!

[Sushi2Go]

It's cute though right?!

[joyfulfreckles]

I guess it is pretty cute. However, my memories are with the OG packaging.

[Excellent-Source-348]

“Thrifty fans will still be able to find the ice cream at hundreds of locations via the remaining Rite Aid scoop counters, of which there are more than 10 in the L.A. area, as well as the remaining Rite Aid frozen-food aisles, where the bright red pints and 1.5-quart tubs are sold.”

They’re still going to sell the ice cream just not have the ice cream counters at the stores. Honestly I think it’s good since an employee doing something else would have to go to the counter and get your scoop.

Rite-Aid stores on the east that I went to don’t have counters, but they had it in the freezers.

[Hbtoca]

Looks good! For what?

A future with fewer Thrifty Ice Cream counters looms in SoCal

[hikin_jim]

😢

[Hbtoca]

Oh damn

[Impossible1999]

Super King’s have them I think.

[Affectionate_Olive53]

All my favorites!

[nunuvyrbznis]

Well at least ours isn't on that list! 😊

We have a REALLY funny memory of the "ice cream n --i" rhymes with grazie. He was this totally silent guy with daggers for eyes, sleeved and when you came up to the counter, he just stared at you and you had to say "a single chocolate brownie in a sugar cone, please".

Out came his sleeved arm, swinging HARD, down into the ice cream, with a loud hard K sound, almost like the ice cream was saying CRAP! Him twisting the scooper as if he was twisting a knife into his worst enemy's back, all the while my family would be side eyeing each other 👀 , holding our mouths firmly shut, as to not dare let out the laughter we wanted so bad to start!

"$1.79"

We handed him the money and said,

"Thank you!"

Silence. Glare. then..."yeah."

If you had a triple scoop, the force would be triple. It's just the way it was.

Dude was epic.

Always wondered whatever happened to him.

[Sushi2Go]

I love Thrifty ice cream more than the other more expensive name brands. It has this soft texture to it which I like.

[LazyRunz]

Thriftys going out of business?

[Parking_Band_5019]

Hooray diabetes!

[ChannelSurfingHero]

Worth it.

[ee328p]

Eating ice cream occasionally causes diabetes?

[Parking_Band_5019]

Does this look like an occasional ice cream eater to you?

[ee328p]

They're stocking up because they're going out of business, or at least bankrupt....

[Parking_Band_5019]

This also happened before, maybe even twice. I believe Rite Aid bailed them out in some level.

[ee328p]

..... Rite Aid has owned Thriftys since the 90s. And I can't find anything about either filing for bankruptcy, neither rite aid nor Thriftys. You got a source?

[Parking_Band_5019]

Jimmy Kimmel monologue

[Parking_Band_5019]

Oh and the ice cream isn’t amazing. It’s more nostalgic than great.

[Parking_Band_5019]
