When thrift store shopping, do you try on clothes you bought for yourself or...
Wait until you get home.
All 4 of the thrift stores I shop at have no place to try on clothes. So it's a hit or miss. The SA have change rooms, however I seldom shop there because of the prices.

Just at the one store. The Salvation Army has a nice dressing room. So, if I buy pants, I try them on there.

Only the Goodwill store here has dressing rooms, but I never go there anymore because their prices are outrageous. The other thrift stores are reasonable if they are having a bag sale, so I just take my chances that something will fit just as if I were at a yard sale or rummage sale.

I always wait until I get home, after I wash them. I can usually tell if something will fit

Both thrift stores that I frequent (there are two that I do NOT like, ew ew ew) have dressing rooms, so I do try stuff on. Mostly 'pricey' items, like when I was looking for a formal to wear to the military ball.

I sometimes try things on but most of the time I can see whether it will fit or not. I've had times when I was wrong but only two or three times at the most and I buy quite a bit of stuff!
