When I need a 'shopping fix'....I go to the Goodwill 2 blocks from work....

I can spend $5 and come out with bags of books, kithcen gadgets, crafts stuff and just fun stuff.

And I don't feel guilty if in a month, I bring it back :)

The Salvation Army where I lived was the bomb! I was wearing designer clothing. And I would be happy to travel to the areas of income far greater than my own and because the Goodwills and Salvation Army merchandise was of even better quality.

As a matter of fact, a couple of the very well to do from a City near mine, appeared in my particular Salvation Army one day. We waved at each other from a distance, almost a wink, 'cuz they'd caught me coming out of their local "2nd hand place" the month before.

A bargain's a bargain -- doesn't matter what income class you are in.
