Sean always says he abhors garage sales and thrift stores, but he doesn't realize the half of the dresses I own that he loves I got for like $4 in the bargain bin :P I love second-hand shopping - especially in vintage clothing stores. But it IS tempting to buy everything you love when you see it "because it's so cheap!" Oops. I have to always remind myself to get only those things I came for, and maybe one amazing thing that I didn't come for but absolutely love :D It's good to keep in mind that you're not saving money if you just spend the same amount as you would otherwise at a dept. store, but for more. Thanks for this post :D Yay for thrift shopping!

I know what you are talking about with the "gasp" thing. I ALWAYS buy what I gasp over if it's at a thrift shop. When I gasp at things at real stores, I pass on them anyway. I thrift every Saturday morning, wish we lived near each other! I just got an Ann Taylor Loft dress for $4 at Goodwill! :) Oh, and a Laura Ashley robe for $3! I am so happy after thrifting! :D There's nothing better than something old or used, I always say.

It even came with original instructions in the drawer (that book is worth more than 20$). I love thrift stores! And it's not just the saving money and finding items you couldn't even find from other stores part, it's also the fact that we are making the world better place by recycling items other people might have thrown away.
