Yes.  My daughter and I went to GCf a couple of weeks ago looking for shorts for my grandsons.  We also go to stores that sell baby clothes looking for clothes for my 9 month old grandson.

a few of ours have closed.  We have some clothing thrift stores open but, not the same.  TO me when dollar stores and thrift stores clothes the economy is not booming.

Not lately, though I enjoy doing it!  It is a fun thing to do.

I very rarely go to any thrift stores around here, because most of them are too expensive, and the one cheap one usually doesn't have much of a selection.

I haven't even been shopping for a while.  My expenses have increased over the last few months months so I am trying not to spend a lot of money.  I vowed this summer not to buy any clothes at all.  I have to many as it is even with giving away some.  I get a lot of clothes from thrift stores but I am staying away.

I was cleaning my garage today and three people stopped and came up my driveway and asked if I was having a yard sale. I guess they were looking for a bargain.

I haven't been to thrift stores this summer because I have enough clothes for the summer and I know that I will be saving some money because I won't be buying clothes. But I will probably be going this fall because I like sweaters and different color turtlenecks.

I was cleaning my garage today and three people stopped and came up my driveway and asked if I was having a yard sale. I guess they were looking for a bargain.
I accidentally did this too... I went around to different garage sales and in one area, they had a neighborhood garage sale (where several of the neighbors held their own sale; not a large sale for the entire neighborhood) so when I saw this one house with its garage doors open and a bunch of stuff sitting in the yard, I automatically assumed that it was a garage sale and not just someone cleaning out their garage.

I tend to go to more garage and yard sales during the summer. I usually only go to thrift stores around the holidays: around Halloween for costumes and around Xmas for Ugly Sweater parties. The last time I went to thrift stores was early this year right before my birthday. Since I turned the big 4-0, I decided to host an 80s party, and went to thrift shops looking for stuff for the party. One of the main things I was looking for were cassette tapes of major 80s artists; I had seen a Pinterest post about gluing the cassette cases together to form a rectangular vase, which we then filled with candies and small toys related to the 80s (eg mini Rubix cubes, Sour Patch Kids, etc.)

No not lately, I use to go all the time, but I really don't need anything.

I've been wanting to go for a while, especially to check out the fitness DVDs.

haven't been to any thrift stores lately but if my mom is going anywhere with me, she loves to go.  she has found some pretty good deals on household décor at times.

My girlfriend makes me go all the time with her to Goodwill and the Salvation Army. I probably am too snobby to just go on my own. The funny thing is that I always spend more than she does on our outings.

Gazillions of people are shopping at these kind of stores now. It's a sign of the times.

Hi.  Yes, I actually bought my new brown colored purse, which is a really good purse because it has a bunch of compartments to put my stuff inside of it and anyways I purchased my purse after the worship service on Sunday at the Goodwill store!

I don't shop from thrift shops.  I can't see myself wearing clothes that others have worn.  Creepy and unsanitary.  For the most part people are really filthy.
