I think I have reasonably good taste, so when I go into a thrift store, I don't end up with a bunch of junk. I see something that I know is a good buy, I get it. Like my coffee carafe...they aren't that expensive in Walmart, but I got mine for .49 at the thrift store! That's a useful and good buy! Got a little paper shredder brand new in the box that works like a charm, attaches to my trash can for a buck. Everyone needs one of those! Got a cheap tea-kettle for .49.

Most the time, it either has to be brand new in the box, or I have to be able to make it look brand new before I'll buy it in a thrift store.

I go to the remnant-clothes shop now, for jeans, since I'm dieting and don't want to spend 30 bucks on a pair of jeans I'm only going to wear for a month. We have a nice store that gets all the items that didn't sell before, so they're new clothes. Nobody else has worn them.

I love thrift stores!

We never get OT into a Pawn Shop. We looked for them on the way to the airport the last day, but she lucked out. Was gonna make her buy a toaster.
