I love a good thrift store.  I have found some of the most amazing things.  Recently, we bought a mortar and pestle that was made in India.  It has the OM symbol on it.  LOVE IT!

I love the thrift stores.  I have found some nice jewelry pieces, furniture and collectibles.  I don't know if they were intentionally priced so cheap or if the person pricing them didn't know what they had.  I am always on the outlook for a treasure-15 cent Navajo handmade silver sand-cast ring-loved it.

It's funny - a few days after I wrote here I didn't shop thrift stores, I found one that had just opened and looked through it.  I did buy something.  I don't have a real reason I don't shop them - just never think of it.  Also, I do most of my shopping online because my arthritis keeps me from walking very much.  I have never felt I was too good.

I enjoy shopping at thrift stores. The one that I shop at the most not only has reasonable prices, nice merchandise, but when I pay they tell me that I have fed so many people at their mission which feels my heart even more to know that I have helped someone else, too.

I shop thrift stores and can sometimes find great things but not very often.  Thrift stores are great for pants.  Thrift stores in nicer areas are good, too.  I have no problem wearing someone else's clean clothes if they're still in good shape.

Thrift store's are wonderful for people who need things that cant afford to buy. I live right across the street from one, Its small but Its fine becasue not many people go to that one, others are going for the bigger thrift store.

I shop in thrift stores for stuff I can use to make new crafts.  I love it when I can find a new train case or something that I can revamp into something people want to use rather than throw away.

I have a friend that shops thrift stores and will call me when she finds something she knows I would like - to see if I want her to get it for me, but I rarely go to thrift stores.  Mostly because of their locations.  There aren't any on my normal route, or they are closed when I am out and about.

My daughter and her friends shop at thrift stores.  She's gotten some cute things.

One year I didn't have a lot of money and I needed a coat. I didn't know what to do so I went to a thrift store. I walked out of that store with one of the best coats that money can buy a Harris Tweed. I paid all of $6.95 cents for it. So to the nay sayers who wouldn't be caught dead in a thrift store I say I hope you never need anything you can't afford to buy. I don't keep my nose so far in the clouds that I don't buy the things I need or want because of where I find them. It might help to develop an open mind. :angel11:
