Do you like thrift stores?

Asked by Hawaii_Jake (37358points) February 3rd, 2023

I actually love them. My favorite is Savers. They benefit the Kidney Foundation and other charities. I like it, because they actually sort the clothes by size.

On my last trip there, I found 2 brand new shirts. One was a Zara shirt that still had the price tag on it. I got it for $20. The other was a linen shirt with little pink flamingoes from Saks no less with the price tag still on it that I paid $15 for.

I’ve bought all kinds of stuff at thrift stores. I don’t buy jeans anywhere else. I bought my water bottle that I keep on my desk at work at Savers. It’s a good one. I think I paid a couple of bucks for it.

If you’re not familiar with the American English term thrift store, it means a second hand store. People donate clothing and household items that they don’t need or want anymore, and the store sells it and gives some of the money to charity.

I haven’t been, but there’s a famous thrift store in West Hollywood, a predominantly gay city, called Out of the Closet. My friend shopped there all the time.
