Last time I went to  thrift shop, I brought in 5 boxes of stuff to donate and I came out with $40.00 of purchases.  It was a very good day.

I like thrift stores. You just have to be careful what you buy and make sure the thrift store is legit.

I love thrift stores, you never know what kind of goodies you're going to find.  You never know you might find something of real value.   :peace:

I like shopping at thrift stores, and sometimes I find some cute things that I didn't know I needed.

I definitely go to goodwill! my 10 year old is very leggy and skinny. she is going right through her school pants so we keep having to go get pants that are long enough on her. her waist is really about an eight-ten but we are having to get 12's and 14's for the length long as they have the adjustable waist.

There is this Savers store I liked to go to when I lived in Orange County and they had some of the best stuff to buy. I used to get name brand shorts for my son to play in for the summer. They have alot of good stuff for like 3.00 and up. If you bring in things to donate they give you 30% off your purchase. So now they sent me a email and they opened a new store where I live now and I remember sending in a suggestion they should get one here where I moved to and wow my prayers were answered. Being a single mom on a budget this store really helps me out at times, plus I like to donate my son and I clothes that we dont fit anymore.  :thumbsup:  :)

I agree thrift stores can be a good place to get some quality stuff especially if you're watching your pennies (as most of us are these days).  Another place to shop (if you're lucky enough to have this type of store near you) are the ones that pay you to donate your "gently used" articles.  That way you not only get some cash for your things but you can spend it right there too!!!!

i am not against shopping at thrift stores at all. You can find some really good things there. Plus good for environment reusing, good for my wallet, and some things you find there you just cant find anywhere else. Some things are from back in the day and they no longer make such things. I just do not shop much anywhere because i am so busy and am a very simple person I dont need to go shopping every weekend for new stuff nope very simple.

I used to shop thrift stores, when I lived in Reno Nevada they had a good store there. Now I shop at garage and estate sales and I get better deals then at thrift stores here in Washington state.

When I was a teenager, my mother loved to hunt thrift stores to find antiques, and especially old National Geographic magazines to add to her collection. I laugh now remembering how mortified I was going into those stores with her, and how I'd rant and rave and how embarrassed I would be if anyone saw me going in. Once I hit my 20's, I started shopping at them myself, and I prefer them to regular stores. I love the hunt of finding designer clothes for pennies on the dollar.
