Its not my style, plus Im a teenage girl. But I do support the fact that regular stores get expensive and thrift stores can come in handy. To be honest, I've only been to a thrift store once, and it smelled like cheese. But, if thryfty shopping is your thing, i say go for it!!! I honestly don’t like thrift stores.

It's fun to go "treasure hunting", and when you find something really nice for dirt cheap, you feel like you've made a real discovery! Granted, you can't go to thrift stores for everything. In cases like that, I like Target and JCPenney. I love thrift stores!

I have furnished a 2 room studio this way for less than $500.00 and am always being told how nice my apartment is. My best finds are a leather recliner for $50.00 and a drop leaf dinnette table for only $20.00. I bought all 3 chairs at Goodwill for $2.99 each and repainted them with mismixed paint from the local Ace hardware for $3.00 . My Hobart stand mixer was only $30.00 and I have seen the same mixer at restaurant supply stores for $350.00. LOVE THOSE BARGAINS!!!!!

I was raised in a middle class family. We never shopped at thrift stores that I can remember. Life has gotten progressively more expensive. When I was out of work after my first child years ago, I started looking in thrift stores. It takes a while to figure out what each store has that might work for you. No one needs to know where you bought your clothes. E-mail if you'd like more support. God bless! Katie:

I walked into Goodwill the other day and bought 80 pieces of my pattern for $75 bucks - less than the cost of 5 pieces of replacement stemware. Can you say happy dance?

I am buying much less, as I have purchased much better clothing for myself at the thrift stores than I could buy on pension at a retail store. Not only that the one we go to nearest us uses it's profits to fund the local food bank. As times have gotten tougher and more local residents have had hours cut or lost jobs in the forestry it seems to me there are more good deals to be found in the thrift stores and also more ( many, many more locals shopping there). I talk to people in the thrift store too, and we have so much to share, I have had people tell me where to shop in a city 50 miles away, and the best thrift stores there, when the best times to shop there are. We live near the Canadain/American boarder, and our closest large town?city is in the States. Many of the people I talk to are from there and they are so friendly. we now visit 3 thriftshops in that town ( that I wouldn't even known were there!) because of talking to ladies who were also shopping in the Thrift stores. It mean not only do we have a day trip, we shop and feel like we are world travelers! We have lunch out, shop, and come home. If I paid retail for everything, I wouldn't have a day out, the resturant, would make 1 less sale that day, the thrift stores would have one less shopper, there would be a little less money donated to peple less fortunate, and my frind and I would have 1 less day of fun!

My favorite thing about them (besides the price) is having zero packaging, bags, etc to dispose of when I get home. I love thrift store shopping!
