Thread: How many of you....

Oooooohh :raises hand:I'm a thrift whore My mom was pregnant with me when she worked at Goodwill,then my dad ended up working on the donation truck.When we were little we shopped,goodwill,yard sales,church rummage sales and whatever other thrift stores we could find.My bf loves it.I'd rather go to a thrift store than a mall! He spent $11.50 on me at Goodwill last week.I recently lost over 100 pounds so now I'm actually able to buy clothes.We found a purple denim shorts jumpsuit with an Eeyore patch on the front pocket and on the butt for $6,which ended up being half price so we got it for $3!I found a red long sleeved hoodie shirt for $3,a turquoise oraneg and white striped Clinique makeup bag that I'm using for a purse for $2 and a necklace for $2.I'm usually hitting the thrift stores every 2 weeks,when he gets paid.LOL,I always joke to him that I'm a cheap date!Give me a $2 purse and a $1 pair of flip flops and I'm a happy camper

I love them. My sister and I would shop them out if we lived in the same town. Guess what we do when we get together.

Only bad thing is we can't bring ourselves to spend the high price at the regular stores. LOL

Martha Stewart would call them Tag Sales though.

you all will prob laugh when you read this one.
I love second hand shops. i come from a family of 12 and dh family of 10. so we all bargain shop. there is a goodwill in ohio that we like to go to and buy clothes. but the funny part is we buy them in bundles. 500LB BUNDLES!!! its great we only pay $13 for the bundle and we all meet at mil and go thru them. alot of the times we get two bundles. so this way we all get great clothes and blankets. they are great.

I love thrift stores! I gained a lot of weight after quitting smoking. I dont plan to stay this heavy so I shop second hand so when I hopefully lose weight I'm not stuck with a bunch of too-big expensive clothes. Plus I'm pure heck on clothes, always spilling something on my front. My husband also ruins a lot of clothes by not wearing his lab coat. He's an adhesives chemist so when he gets stuff on his clothes its on there for good. Buying second hand allows us to throw out the clothes we ruin without wasting a lot of money. Saturday I got a gold top for $3 that still had store tags on it, the price was originally $46! And I also got a wool blazer for $3 too. I bought my girlfriend an espresso machine (we both love espresso) for $5 as a house warming present. Several years ago I bought another girlfriend a $4 portable dishwasher for her 40th birthday, she told me it was the best present she got. She is disabled so the dishwasher came in handy. I'm also a collage artist so thrift shops are where I get a lot of stuff for my art.
