THRIFT SHOPS!!!
My heavens to Betsy, I never went in one until a few months ago. Now I turn in to one like some people turn into Garage Sales!
I was working and needed to "kill some time" so I espied a "used clothing" store across from one of my jobs. I went in and...wow... Not only was it a bit "upscale" and well stocked, but the clothes were cheap, cheap, cheap, AND they have regular sales!
So far I bought two blazers, a blouse and a coat, and haven't even broken a $20 bill! PLUS the clothes are "American Made" (a real plus in my book), and if they were brand new, would have been out of my price range. I guess people who spend that kind of money on clothes, don't wear them threadbare. Thank you for that!
I have to say that I did stumble upon one little store, that bordered on nasty, but that's primarily the fault of the people who manage it. There's really no excuse. Even Good Will or the Salvation Army keep their places neat and clean. They just don't have the panache of the little gem I found in my travels.
It's now an automatic stop when I'm in the neighborhood. I have my eye on a leather coat, but I'm waiting for it to go on "sale!"
