It is very popular here in Sweden where you buy a OK/used products very cheap. Once i bought a winter coat that is mocka and real fur for 20 dollars and it said (made in Western Germany) that is so warm and in a very good shape and i have been using it for the last 6 years. Plus! we buy small things for home crafting things where we feel creative, decorations and so on.
Do you go to thriftshops? Did you find something that is worth?
s I used to volunteer in a second hand shop, and found lots of goodies while I volunteered there. Throughout my time volunteering there I found a waterproof jacket with lots of pockets for $6, a pack of 10 egg rings for 50 cents, a sturdy bread knife for $1, a mens kathmandu t-shirt (which is an excellent brand here) for $5, 2 formal dresses for $4 each, 3 practically brand new pots for $5 each, 2 good quality pans for $7 each, and lots of kitchen utensils for $1-$2 each.
Yup. If they have cheap fashion I can customize myself, o hell yeah, there be treasure, mateysss
I love them , but what I found in Australia was some of them were just getting too expensive , Im of the belief that it should be all about getting something cheap , we have also had some ( for profit ) chains open up that are huge..
They all used to be small and mainly for Charity.
I do. Buying new shit is like buying the same shit except there is stickers and tags even more so all over the same thing and the price is higher.
I draw the line though with shoes... that shit is nasty.

Yes I do, and have made some really excellent purchases, both in clothing and various other items.
In return I have made many, many donations back to them.
It is becoming more popular in the US with big retails companies buying back their used products and resaling them.
I have never been a fan because I am short and petite … it’s very hard for me to find my size.
also, we have a good will store 2 blocks away…I often walk in to see if I can buy anything.
since I am also a minimalist…I don’t need anything aside from the basics.
we have been able to save more than 50% of our income because we don’t buy stuff.
I go to antique shops and car boot sales but rarely traditional second hand shops as they tend to be just granny tat.
I often buy clothes in second hand stores. Sometimes I wonder if anyone has ever worn the clothes because they look new. Second hand is much cheaper than buying everything new.
I used to love to go thrift shopping…haven’t gone in awhile tho… but over the years I’ve gotten great stuff… My younger daughter goes a lot with her roommate to the goodwill by them
There is a swap shop at the local dump. I have found some good stuff there. For free.
u Once in a while, it depends what I’m looking for and what I’ll use it for. I donate far more than I buy from thrift shops.
I absolutely love them... I've gotten beautiful designer dresses for almost nothing.
Always a treasure hunt to visit one
Financially I usually do shop second hand. I try to buy clothes for my kids new but they grow so fast.
That’s something I never did. Is not common where I live and I was always able to afford whatever I needed.
u I could not... I am mildly germophobic, lol...
Absolutely. Thrift store shopping is one of my favorite things to do ever.
Maybe a few music cds but not anything else
I have in the past & may shop there again.
Sometimes.
