Do you shop Thrift Stores

[vp44]

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.

I say shop anywhere that you can find clothes you like at a good price!!! Im always down for a bargain or deal. No one has to know only you. If you like it thats all that matters!

I don't go often, but I definitely do go every once in awhile.

  yes me my mom and my sister like to shop Thrift Stores!!!  you would be very surprised at some of the great things you can find

[vicogden]

Yes.  I shop at Stuff Etc, Half Price Books, Lands End, Goodwill and The Salvation Army.  Good stuff at cheap prices!  Why not?

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 shop once in awhile at thrift shops (not as I use to when I was younger), but not for clothes. Once in a blue moon I do find a hidden treasure, but often times I'm just browsing around only.

Oh yes, the Goodwills and stores like that can be very helpful.  I love finding treasures at thrift prices.  We used to have a local thrift store that I loved (I don't feel that it's right to name it though) and miss very much that had to close because they got those stinking bed bugs.  I think its a true shame if it was from donations. I have gotten everything from dishes to my stereo and so much more shopping thrift.   But one time, I got a pair of jeans that had 2 bucks in the pocket and the jeans were only three bucks...so HEY!!!!

Thrift Shops are a great place to shop for the whole family.
I have gotten great deals on clothes, jewelry,housewares and more.
I do volunteer at our local thrift shop which beniefits are local highschool scholarship fund.
Thrift shops are great for kids clothes since kids tend to out grow their clothes b4 wearing them out.

Thrift shops that also allow you to consign your own items for sale are great too.Just be sure you understand their policy.for items and payments for your items.
Most will pay u 50% of the sale price of the item.

I love shopping at thrift stores. You can find really good items there, and saves you a lot of money compared to regular stores. Its a good way to shop if you want to save money.

I don't know why but I get itchy in those store's. I guess the thought of wearing strangers clothes. I even wash new clothes before I wear them.

I love thrift stores! I usually stop at a couple each week. Its one of my favorite things to do.

I will go every now and then if I'm looking for something specific, but I have donated thousands of dollars worth of items over the years.  I have a truckload ready for them right now.  I once found two English paintings done around the turn of the century that I paid $4 apiece for.  Someone had painted different flora and penciled in the names of them.  I gave them to my son who is into old things because they just didn't fit my decor.

They are like year round garage sales. I shop at several of them.

I like Thrift Stores too.
We have a Plato's Closet nearby where we have gotten a lot of great name brand jeans and shoes.
