They're not the best if you're looking for something extremely specific, so I never go with the expectation that I'm going to find a certain thing. I love hunting through the racks for that perfect item I never knew I needed! Some of my best finds include an amazing peacoat for $8 and a pair of Paige Premium Hollywood Hills jeans for just $5! Besides, the mainstream fashion world is just a revolving door for past styles. There isn't a lot of innovation going on. I can get my style/shopping fix for a fraction of the cost! Not to mention that the money I spend goes toward helping other people…basically a win-win. Thrift stores rock!

America's Thrift Stores (actual name of the stores) are the best!

or those little charity stores on the corner of where the heck and nowhere

Not only can you get awesome clothes but you can get awesome decor too! (or funny decor like my Menorah man that lights up and plays music) haha

If you do like designer items, sometimes you can find vintage brand names also! I've hear of people finding Chanel bags all the time!

Thift Stores, Ebay, TJMaxx, Steve & Barry's, Target, and (on occasion) even Walmart

are the best places to shop for awesome suprising finds and bargins!

A lot of them dress better than I do! Please, no one is cleaning anybody out at Goodwill. Most people who should be shopping their say that they are too embarrassed. Give me a break! You couldn't pay me to stop shopping where I want!

So what may be a good deal to you might be all that someone else can afford. Don't you think emptying them out is a bit selfish?

Instead of hitting the mall for a clothing treat, more often I end up going to Goodwill. I once got a pair of brand-new knee-high leather boots for $10!

I donate my old clothes to Goodwill too, it's better than throwing them away.
