I love to go to thrift stores, do you?

I am so happy for all your good buys. It always makes me feel good to get a bargain. It all sounds incredible. Is there anyway that you could send me a pm giving mne the address so that I could visit this place when I come up at the end of next month? I would be so grateful as I need to buy some shoes and a few blouses for work. Blessings

[i]Hi Bebs, I also love to shop at thrift store and you are correct with a very little amount, we can take home several stuffs! In our area, we have $5 for a bag and it's up to you to be intiative to fold whatever you got and place it in a bag, put as many as you can for $5! Fun![/i]

I do love going to thrift stores. they are fun. Often, we can find some pretty interesting stuff! I particularly like the more established shops that are packed full of all sorts od things. One can spend a good hour or so in there. Sometimes I will buy cloths from a second hand store. Often I look for books and picture frames, since I paint and draw, this is extremely cost effective and handy. I used to make costumes. The thrift store was a great place to find peices of fabric from used clothing to stitch together another costume. Baskets are another thing I like to look for at the thrift store. Sounds like you have had your first taste of thrift shopping and that you liked it very much! Good for you on your savings. Thank you for this discussion. happy Shopping!

I don't go to thrift stores very much, we don't have any in the town I live in, but there are a bunch in the city which is about 35 miles from me. I just can't seem to ever find bargains like many other people do, guess its because I don't go looking huh? Its good that you can find bargains tho, anything to help save money these days.

I love thrifting,therefore i love thrift stores. In my opinion,thrift shops beat the shoppings malls when it comes to one- of- a -kind- they-don't- make -this- anymore accessories. My favorite in our town is called Pick of the Litter, I love rummaging thru their baskets of unique belts,necklaces& earrings. Oh & the stuff are inexpensive, The Price is always Right! Happy Thrifting Bebs!

Next to yard sales, thrift stores are my favourite!...I can spend hours rummaging through things that I do not need but can get for next to nothing and revamp into something special...I have had many glorious finds including some valuable antiques. I guess thats why they say that some peoples junk is another persons treasure. There are a lot of treasures to be had if you keep digging!

i have a favourite thrift store where i live and you can go and get stuff in there for a quarter and 50 cents. its like a large garage sale! i like to look at the different items in there as sometimes they get antiquey things in there. i just recently bought a silver? trophy for $2- and on the bottom it has a sticker that says $95-!

I like them for books and stuff, not really a clothes shopper there but my mother in law loves them, when we see her we go and browes around. If you can find a deal good for you, keep shopping if you hit the jackpot like that.

I used to love looking for treasures at thrift stores when I lived in a more populated area where there were several to choose from. I have found wonderful, almost new clothes, great jewelry and some of the best whatnots in thrift stores...not to mention great deals on baby and toddler clothes when my kids were younger.

Our version of thrift stores here are the "ukay-ukay" where imported cheap clothing are available. It's nice to go there when there are new arrivals because good clothes at very cheap price. But I really don't enjoy ukay ukay places because more often than not, the smell of "alkampor" is very distinctive and I do get headache.

Hello friend, I love thrift stores too though there aren't a lot of thrift stores from when I am. At times there are sale but the quality of the merchandised sold are old and almost junky. LOL. Though there is one store here that I like that i sells imported product it is 99 and below as compared to the other stores or malls perhaps. I enjoy going to that place a lot especially to buy chocolates and cookies.

hello bebs yes, every time that one of my girl friend's and i get together, we always hit one of our local thrift stores that is around here in our area. i have purchased several nice shirts from thrift stores at a reasonable price. i enjoy going into the thrift stores just to look around to see what they might have in the store for the day. sometimes you can find other items at a thrift store like pictures for your house and things like that. take care and have a beautiful evening.

I am fond of going to thrift stores that sell cheap clothes but new stocks, this is also known as surplus stores, their stocks are very new straight from the factory but cheaper because it is not branded. I am not fond of wearing branded things anyway, so I go to surplus stores. The materials are nice and durable and very comfortable to wear plus it won't hurt your budget and your wallet. I always believed that durable stuff are not only those who has names and label but also those cheaper ones, it is only up to the person wearing, it is not on the signatures but on how you carry yourself.

yes even i love that store where thing is reasonable......i bring my all needs from this store itself....

I love, love, love the thrift stores! Can't beat the prices, get great deals, and sometimes even new clothes with the tags still on. I go every couple of weeks and I've also bought items to sell on Ebay. I did go a couple of weeks ago and got 5 really cool sweaters all for $13.00. Now come on, that's just plain awesome to me. I've already bought jackets, jeans, pants, sweatshirts, jewelry, craft supplies, books, and some household items too. Like I said, love it, love it, love it!

We like to go to thrift stores, but we aren't looking for clothing. We go through all the other things they have. But my mother has bought NEW things there with the tags still on them - nice clothes. People just bought something they decided they didn't like and gave it to thrift stores. My daughter shops there, too. She had on a beautiful sweater Christmas. If she hadn't told me she got it there, nobody would have ever known. You could not tell it had ever been worn. I've bought picture frames and my husband bought wooden boxes that hold DVD's - very nice and very cheap!
