I've found almost all of my best books in thrift stores! I've also come across some great old band shirts, some of which are very rare. I'm also interested in interesting little curios that are found in some thrift stores. I have better luck for such things at flea markets, though.

I actually donated a lot of my old concert t-shirts to a thrift store by me about ten years ago.

I shop at Thrift stores. You can find great deals. If i buy clothes i just wash them with really hot water and throw them in  the dryer on high heat. It's saves you a lot of money.

Every now and then I stop in to check them out. It is a great place to find a great deal! But, you just have to have the time to look thru everything!!!

I shop at thrift stores. You can save a lot of money on clothes, hygiene, and cleaning supplies.

I LOVE the Goodwill.  I always donate my used clothes to Salvation Army b/c of all they do for the community but I actually shop at GW.  There's a saver's in the next town but I haven't visited it yet, I'm going to call and see if they have uniforms for the kids though b/c I've been hearing great things about them.

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 live in SC, I go to Goodwill thrift store on sundays. clothes in clearance racks section are all .50 you find good clothing if you get their first.

I like to shop thrift stores for things like picture frames and furniture to reupholster, and sometimes for things like crystal. You can find unusual things. I like that. It's interesting. :dog:

LOVE to shop at thrift stores.  It is a great thing to do when you have the time to really browse and hang out.  Never know what great deals you can find and it's fun!  Goodwill has gotten a little high in their prices over the years.  I find that the smaller stores (sometimes attached to another charity) often have the better prices.  However, no matter which way you go - there are always good deals if you have the time to find them.  Good post - thanks!
