    I do for sure. Many times there will be brand new items there and it allows me to spend more money on my wife and kids.

    My most used dancing boots were a 5 dollar yard sale score!

    Thirft no. In my immediate area they don't carry tall men size. I do go to "Plato's Closet" though where they have some kick azz chit there...

    Where is the closest Plato's to us?? Libertyville? I love that place but hate that drive!

    Obsessed with thrifting! I have a regular "rotation" of shops, and estate and yard sales are my idea of a good time. I buy very little clothing that way, but lots of household, furniture, antiques etc for resale. One of my two daughters is totally into it oo.

    Yes! I shop consignment/thrift shops all the time. I have 3 kids to shop for! I wish I could find more for myself, but finding decent clothing at my size is tough.

    No. It's just not in me to do so.

    Sure, although not for clothes. Misc household stuff, decorations and so on.

    No, I don't have the patience for that. I buy all my clothes and the kids' clothes online in just a few min.
    I'm a big donator though. All the kids' clothes end up there.

    Yeah, I'm way too cheap to buy nice clothes (that aren't second-hand), I live too damn close to about five thrift stores all in a row, and my weight is still fluctuating enough that sometimes I need to bounce between 34 and 36 waist (especially depending on brand). Not mention, I still own a VCR and happen to really enjoy rediscovering some old classics (Willow, Tremors, It's a Wonderful Life, Dune, Clash of the Titans [oldschool], Frequency) for about 50 cents a pop.

    This. I like name brands but don't want to spend the money to buy new. I'll just wait for someone rich to buy it then get sick of it in a month.

    Yes! I love a mix of old and new. I also like looking out for vintage/retro homewares and furniture, although it seems to have become a lot harder to find things in the past couple of years since upcycling, shabby chic, etc have become 'trendy'.

    We had Value Village back in Oregon. It was like a thrift MEGA STORE compared to the wimpy thrift stores I've been going to in Idaho. Also, due to denser population, there were just a lot of better options.

    Slightly unrelated note: Craigslist in ID super-duper sucks. People think their ratty old couches are worth $200, whereas the finest couch I've ever owned I got for free in PDX off of Craigslist. I miss the selection, be it thriftstore or Craigslist!!!

    Absolutely.. almost all of my wardrobe came from thrift stores, upscale resale shops or yard sales.. I bought a brand new pair of nike tennis shoes with all the stickers and tags still on and only paid $7 at our local thrift store. AND our high school sports program sells these discount cards for local businesses every year and our thrift store gives you 15% off your purchase every time you show your card there.
