Question

I do it to save and I love helping too!

Answer 1

Its where I find my Mid-Century furnishing, some clothes. I do it because I like to see the old thingymaboppers, I can play with the toys, and you never know what you will find...oh and the prices cannot be beat. Way to many to list, but I like the ones that help the animals.

Answer 2

Yes. I love buying stuff at discount prices, and my wife loves to give the same stuff back to the thrift stores. We generate a lot of profits for the thrift stores in our neighborhood.

Answer 3

Answer 5

I do. But I make a profit from selling these items on ebay.  

Answer 6

I can't shop at thrift stores.  I have a weird phobia about wearing clothes other people have already worn.  Creeps me out too much.

Yes, even if they've been washed many times.

Answer 7

I'll be honest, more to save.

My daughter loves the school clothes I bought at thrift stores more than the clothes her Aunt bought in the mall. I will never tell Auntie about this. (Don't get me wrong - I love my sister-in-law and am very grateful for her financial help)

Answer 8

Sure, why not?

It always amazes me when people say I can't wear clothes that others have worn, no matter how many times they have been washed.

Must be tough for those people to get a hotel room. Do they demand new sheets and towels? How about restaurants? The plates were washed but, OMG, someone ate off the just a few minutes ago. Think I'll puke.

Buy there, save some money and help people out. Sounds like a win/win to me.

Answer 9

yea me too. i love thrift stores cause i loving saves my money
