“If you become accustomed to that you will find the pattern hard to change.”

LOL! You’re right. My sis and I are like that. When growing up we got clothes from “the missionary barrel” people donated to the church. When young adults, we moved up to thrift shops. Now we can afford to buy almost anything for cash, but still watch our spending. Our husbands just shake their heads. (Secretly, I think they’re glad that we hate shopping, clip online 8 coupons for groceries, and watch spending.)

I love thrift shopping. It’s the thrill of the hunt. I wear a coat and tie to church every Sunday and nothing costs over $20. I have holy grail items like Gitman Brothers shirts, English ties, topcoats and wool/camel hair blazers.
