Thrift Shopping
 
How many people on this site go thrift shopping? I personally go every other week and I've found some pretty kickin' threads...It saves me tons of money and it saves me from going to the mall and having scene kids ask you where you get your clothes. I usually go to Plato's closet, Slavation Army, and sometimes Good Will.

My friend's mom owned one for a while and we got first dibs on all sorts of ****, definitely got some clothes nobody has ever imagined of. The last one I went to everything was half off. I got Frampton comes alive, a richard simmons record, 2 ELO records and Uriah Heep Demons and Wizards for 59 cents each.

You can find good stuff if you can be bothered to look for it. The shirt that eventually became my current Eels shirt cost me 50p!

I love the thrift stores but for me it takes alot of time and patience to sort through everything and then try on clothes as well unless it's just a tshirt or something. I usually have to clear my schedule for a few hours if I want to thrift shop. I like Ebay as well but I prefer to try on my clothes before I purchase them. They do have some cool stuff though.

I dig the thrift shops. I've found some real gems over the years. But at one point, it became trendy and stuff started getting expensive - especially vintage tees - so I haven't been in a while. But when I used to have to wear ties for work, thrifts were my first stop for shopping and I would buy the ugliest/gaudiest I could find. It was my silent protest, if you will.
