I went out to get a bike for a friend we went to four thirft stores. And found pant's for him as he is tall. found tea light candles for bathroom that hang on wall. Nice and heavey. really pretty. gold with frosted glass. I'm on a budget now and it is really cool finding all kinds of things that are nice and cheap. Got a conforter for the van for winter. My son keeps taking mine so I have to replace it $3.50 is way cheaper then $45.00 as I keep finding them under the car. I keep yelling and he say's sorry. Now I just go to thirft store. I no longer yell at him and he gives me the money. LoL I charge him $5.00 as gas and time. What do you think about thirft stores? Do you enjoy shopping them?

I am not a big fan of them, I know you can find some pretty good deals there. My problem is the fear of the unknown, that is why I will not buy things used.

I agree, I don't like to buy used things. I want brand new or none at all. You never know who's nasty things have been where with used stuff.

I love shopping at the thrift stores. The prices have started going up on a few things lately but I can still get a lot of really good deals in there. I haven't been in a while cause I don't have the money to spare but when I get some I'm going to enjoy myself.

You can find some really neat things. I know all about the money. Yes the prices are higher. I was also looking for shirts for my son. I ended up getting him shirts at Wal-Mart for $5.00 a piece and they wanted $5.50 at the one thirft store.

I love Thrift Stores!! I shop at them all the time. You can find really nice stuff if you look hard enough. I mean I do shop clearance sales at the other stores like Kohls and Target too, but you can find things new with tags at the Thrift Stores too. Heck, I just love shopping - period. But when you can combine shopping and sales/discounted prices - count me in!! Have a great day and happy myLotting!!

I go shopping when I need to think. And thirft stores are a great place. Books, clothes, nicknacks, there are a lot of other things as well. Got a soup pot today as well, just like new. I really like going to them I make a day out of it. My son and his girlfriend like to go as well, So does my roommate. He is great. Have a great day. Smile.

I like to go to thrift stores when I can. The last time I went I got a nice belt for my son, it was only fifty cents, and the babysitters club books for twenty five cents a piece for my daughter. Sometimes there are some good deals in there. I once found a coffee pot in one.
