I have such a little neuroticism against wearing pre-worn clothes, unless they're from a family member. It just feels nasty, to me. So I shop at cheap places, and stores that sell last year's fashions, but not actual thrift shops. Suppose I should get over that.
Oh well. At least I have no aversion to pre-read books.

I've worn hand-me-downs all my life...it's never occurred to me to be bothered by that! I suppose there are SOME articles of clothing that wouldn't be right at ALL to pass on, but...
But I do like the occasional new thing, though usually it's something marked way down. But we don't have any stores that just sell older new things, so I have to shop on-line for those or keep a sharp eye out.
Sierra Trading Post is pretty good, though. The catch is that they have what they have in limited quantities and colors and sizes...so finding just the right thing can be hard. But I've gotten some very nice things from them on occasion, when the timing was right.

Meant to mention, last night Cartoon Network showed an episode of
Umi Tenjin, which I'd never seen before, along with the 5th episode of
Cowboy Bebop, which was pretty cool:
