How often do you go to the thrift store?

**baxjul** · 07-15-2007, 06:21 PM

I haven't been in about 2 months, and I'm getting withdrawals!

Once or twice a month.

We had two prety good ones on this side of town. However, one f them closed for good and the other one has changed their format to being clothes only. So, I don't get to go anymore. The clothing one might be ok but it smells like really bad stinky feet and I just cannot stomach it. Plus, I like to look at household stuff, not just clothes.

I have been going through withdrawals, too.

Whenever I get the chance. Sometimes 2 or 3 times a month sometimes less.
If we are working out of town and staying over DH will let me check out as many as I can find in the town. We'll knock off early one day and hit them one right after the other. Usually we each find a treasure or 2 at each place.

Usually we go once a month or once every 2 months, right now money is so tight I dont see us going for a couple more months, but that's ok we have tons of clothes and household stuff to last us a while.

Once a month at least.

Once or twice a month. I don't always find something to buy. I may just get a 39¢ paperback book (I found Miserly Moms by Joni McCoy yesterday!) or nothing at all. I stock up on clothing when Goodwill has all clothing for $1.00. They should be having this sale around the first of August for back-to-school. They also do this around Christmas and Easter. For $20, I can get us enough clothing to last until the next sale.

Once a week (it's right next to the grocery store). Twice a week if I can manage it.

Not too often. Its a good thing for me to stay out of them

Well, if Dollarama counts, about two or three times a month. I don't go unless I have a specific item in mind, and I try to only shop once a week other than groceries.

I go about twice a month. But along with looking for the family, I also look for my Ebay store too. Right now I'm getting better deals at the yard sales. Winter will be a different story.

haven't been in a while. I could start a thrift store of my own with the stuff I have here! LOL

**monkeywrangler71** · 07-16-2007, 09:29 AM

I go once a year. I'm going next week.

**kaykwilts** · 07-16-2007, 09:38 AM

I usually go once a week to my favorite thrift store. They have paperbacks for a quarter and hardbacks for 50 cents. I check out the clothes but usually don't find anything I like. I did find a blouse marked down to 50 cents that I liked the other day.

**Dancing Lotus** · 07-16-2007, 09:45 AM

I think if you go once a week and be picky you will get better stuff. The best stuff doesnt sit around long so you have to go often to get a chance at it.
I would love to go every monday to tuesday but a dont enjoy it as much when I have the kids with me so I opt not to go.
