It’s Time To Praise The Thrift Store!

October 31st, 2008 | Posted in Saving Money

Welcome back!

I confess. Back in “the day”, I only shopped at brand name stores, regularly purchasing expensive jeans and onehundred dollar sweaters. Back at the time I was naive and didn’t think much about it. Of course, in my defence, at the time, these were luxuries were within my means. Then I grew up, got a house and mortgage and all the bills that those bring. Suddenly gone where the days of being able to  frivolously, on impulse, purchase all the clothes I desired.

Then, a great discovery - the thrift store. I used to think that the thrift store was just a place full of others people old, worn-out clothes, and nothing good could possible be found there - looking back, it’s clear that I was a total snob! Well, as a newly converted thrift-store-aholic, my ways have changed.

Now I know how to hunt our local bargain shops for quality clothes at amazing prices. My laundry skills can get any small stains out, and make someone else’s donation look new again. Sure, it’s a little more work than at other places, but at the same time, there are some real gems to be found. Best of all, I can get oodles of clothes for what I used to pay for a single pair of high-end jeans.
