Do you shop at thrift stores? How about tag sales or yard sales? I like them all. I enjoy looking around to see what I can find. I always find something interesting that makes me say wow!

I am heavy so shopping for clothes at Thrift stores can be a nightmare. But, last year, i found 5 pair of like new jeans for only $3 a pair. I didn't recognize the name but I brought them home and they fit like they were made for me!!! And, they are a Home Shopping Network brand that cost about $60 a pair new. Not bad. lol

I love our town's consignment store.  It is small and I get one on one help.  I only have to shop in one store and I can find a lot of great gently worn outfits and shoes and boots.

I dread shopping in the city at the Mall....ugh!

I'm a big fan of thrift stores, too! I don't go to them a lot, since we're already stuffed to the rafters with stuff in our small house, but I like to shop at thrift stores when I'm able. Of course, it can be difficult to find items you really want, since you have to poke around a lot, but it's fun when you find something you like for a cheap price! :thumbsup:

I volunteer at a local thrift that awards scholarships to graduating seniors in our town. There are lots of great buys. I've found lots of brand new items. My favorites are clothes, housewares and jewelry. :rainbow: :pumpkin: :peace: :wave:

No I haven't shopped at thrift stores before but my daughter does all the time. She buys a lot of her children's clothes at thrift stores and she sells her kids' clothes there too I believe.

Thrift stores, no.  Consignment stores, yes.  (Though Ebay is a huge thrift store anyway.)

Oh yes I love thift stores and yard sales and any other place that I can buy things second hand.

I have been pretty lucky and have found some awesome finds for some really good prices.

No, I have never shopped out of a thrift store.  I haven't been to a flea market in years also.

I shop at thrift stores but only very occasionally.  I am also picky about what I buy.  I have reached the point in life and finances that I only buy things I truly need or want...badly.  I find it easier to not have my home filled with "stuff."

I love thrift and consignment stores shopping! I go to the mall to see latest styles and can generally buy at one of those stores for a fraction of the cost; and since I am retired and out of the workforce I do not spend excessive amounts on clothes.
