Thrift Stores

Well, this weekend I did something I haven't done willingly since I was a child.

I walked into a thrift store.

I have horrible memories of my mother trying to outfit all of us in thrift stores. I also have horrible memories of having to wear the clothes from said thrift stores.

This one wasn't so bad. Really. I got 2 nice coats, a nice skirt, and 2 really nice sweaters. All for under $40. Which made my wallet & Nick very happy campers.

I'm planning to bring the Pootie wonder child there. Unlike my mother, I'm not going to try the "Well this is what I'm buying so you can just deal" routine. I'm going to appeal to her logic. 1. I only have a limited amount of money to buy her clothing. 2. She can use the money on new cloths, or use it a thrift store and get more bang/buck. 3. Its far more environmentally considerate to purchase clothing from a thrift store than to purchase new clothing! (that last one is my really big gun)

And she doesn't have to. But I've been to this one, and it doesn't have a whole lot in the way of granny clothes!
