Why you shouldn't shop at thrift stores if you do already

sullus

Are you kidding me?! You are all apparently rich because some of us can't afford to buy $90 jeans at the Buckle every time we lose/gain weight. Do I wear thrift store clothes?? HELL YES, because I'm not a snooty jerk and washing clothes with hot water gets rid of "farts" in jeans.

Really stupid forum if you ask me. And to the guy that burns his clothes after you're done with them, if that's true, you have lessons to learn.

$90? Brand New Dockers Khakis at Kohls .. $20. Levis $30.

Washing clothes may get rid of the farts, but not the fact that they were farted in.

I love thrift shops. Period. And I am not poor. But why not recycle clothes? Who cares who wore it before? Take it home and wash or dry clean the clothing. I also donate my old clothing that I am no longer interested in. But I did not know about Goodwill. Good to know. I never did donate to them, but I will research the thrifts shops from now on.

Hey I applaude everyone that ONLY buys from the malls. Those name brand clothes sooner or later make their way into my closet at a fraction of the cost. Thank you! :drinker:

This, totally. I bought a pair of Calvin Klein jeans at my local good will for about $5 bucks. They fit perfectly, and I love them. Definitely wash before wearing from a thrift store.

I burn my clothes when I'm done with them, because I'll be damned if any poor person is going to wear something I wore once.

Who do these poor people think they are wanting us to donate our Lucky jeans? Wtf people?

I didn't know that shopping at thrift -- or 2nd hand -- stores made you poor. I think it says a lot about someone's intelligence and grasp on what's important out of life. A name brand tag on your pants doesn't make you any more attractive, appealing or 'cooler'. Matter of fact, your blatant bitterness toward people that aren't as materialistic as you actually puts you as the epitome of the common Douche Bag.

If a poor person wears my old jeans that means I'm somewhat almost in some way close to a poor person. No thank you.

I wonder what Macklemore thinks of this.

Too many examples above as to why this country is going to ****.
I guess clothes make you who you are in your world. Not mine, I can't afford pre-ripped designer digs and if I could, I would donate the hell out of them to help others.

YOU THINK IM GOING TO BE ABLE TO GET A GIRLFRIEND WHILE WEARING ROUTE 66 JEANS? YOU DUMB?

A GOOD QUALITY GIRL WILL LOVE YOU NO MATTER WHAT YOU WEAR, A BRAINLESS SPOILED BIOTCH WILL DO ANYTHING FOR A CHANEL HANDBAG THAT YOU WILL (IM SURE) BUY HER.

i find new items with tags still fully engaged all the time, clothes that have never been worn for 2.00 from Hollister. I have a teen girl to clothe. stuff is expensive.
That's what we look for. Luckily we have a goodwill center near by that is held up by the rich people.

I'm down. As long as we don't invite poor people. I bet they drink leftover beer in the bottom of bottles that they bought from thrift stores.

Nah, they don't serve PBR at the bars I go to bro.

I had to drink a PBR the other day because I went to a poor guys house. Needless to say, I won't be going back.

I thought the guy rules stated it was ok to complain about the temperature, but not the brand of the free beer at your buddy's house ...

I'd be shocked if you actually got and kept a decent girlfriend with your attitude. Cute only goes so far (IF thats even really you in the pic...)
I bet your a closet thrifter. Its ok, you can tell us

It's ok to complain as long as you do it behind their back like a good friend.

I buy quality items that are going to last, since ironically enough, I don't like shopping all that much. More to prove a point, than to brag, I bring in a little over 100k a year, I'm not saying I buy all the granny panties at the Thrift stores, but if I see something I like, I'll buy it; why not!? I'll buy designer items IF they are truly "you get what you pay for" worthy, but I'm not going to sit here and DRESS like I am made of money....most of the time, those people are broke as a joke living with their mommas.

I shop in thrift stores all the time. I've lost two pants sizes in the past few months and don't want to pay full price for "temporary" clothes. I LOVE finding a pair of jeans for $1.99! I do feel good wearing them. I always feel good saving money and still getting something "new" (new to me)!

AGREED!

alikat2986

Alright I've had enough stupidity. Have fun being alone with your fancy clothes.:bigsmile:

Who the hell said I wanted a good quality girl? I just want a girl who looks good and swallows.

Is that diet approved by mfp? you might have just got this thread locked, pal.

Poor people eat spaghettios, didn't you know this?

So by that deduction, they drink piss and eat spaghettios?

I agree with you 100%!! I went from a size 16 to a size 6 I bought most of my smaller clothes used from the thrift stores or craigslist. As long as I wash them before wearing I am fine. Clothes are too expensive to buy a new wardrobe every time you drop a size.

This is the most logical explination.

I don't shop at thrifty stores because I have a fear that someone had died in the clothes.

More likely than not the body has been removed before the clothes are hung up, if not they can probably help you out with that.

Problem solved.. You have no worries now, try the Salvation Army!

One persons junk is another persons treasure...and one persons 6 is another persons 9 LOL

I never really shop at thrift stores because I can never find any nice plus size clothes...just floral dresses with shoulder pads. No thanks.

Although I used to work at Value Village and some of the clothes that came in were very cute. A lot of weird stuff came in too - porn mags, sex toys, bongs, cocaine, a loaded hand gun, a huge bag of hash once. Good times.

But.... that's all I can afford.
I can buy a whole outfit for $20.
Shoes, pants and shirt.
I save what money I do have for NEW underwear, bras, socks.

I have a baseball-T (black sleeves) that was from some "relay for the visually impaired" and then has braille right across my boobs.
Ain't no way I'm finding that at the mall.

I'm hot, swallow and shop at thrift stores. Now get in my basement.
