I was in a bargain store few days ago. I just wanted to buy some clothes. Do you prefer buying new or just surplus clothes? For, I prefer the surplus clothes. I have not learned the idea of buying new clothes. What about you?

LOL honestly, I prefer whats least expensive ;-) Some things I HAVE to buy new simply because trying to find them in surplus type stores is pretty much impossible (pants/jeans for example cause i NEED a 36" inseam)..and of course i buy undergarments new obviously and shoes...but for things like shorts, shirts etc etc I dont mind bargain shopping at all LOL if I can find it in great condition and cheaper at the Sally Anne or Classiccloseouts or even Ebay then I'll buy it there

i prefer buying new clothes...but the ones that i could afford. I've never experienced buying on surplus actually. I usually buy when things are on sale. hehe

Really! Buying things which are on sale is a good idea... you will be given discounts! Thanks for your response.

I shop at second hand stores but what ilike to do it sort through everything and only buy things that are good name brands and look relatively new. This way I can have what looks like an expensive wardrobe without spending much at all.

I prefer buying new clothes and I go for the branded ones most of the time. But sometimes when I walk to surplus stores or bargain shops and my eyes catches some clothes that are nice and fine then I would not hesitate to buy it. Mostly I buy sweaters and jackets from this surplus stores.

I love to shop the thrift stores in my area and if I can find clothes that fit myself or my family, I buy them, otherwise, I try to buy clothes on sale elsewhere. I'm all about saving money where I can.

I buy new clothes and I don't really buy surplus clothes. I like new clothes because I don't need to worry about who wear those clothes before me. Besides, there is not many second hand stores around here and we don't have the culture of buying surplus ones. I usually buy my clothes at the start of each season so I could get those fashionable ones to mix with my old ones.

I buy both new and surplus ones. There are some items that you can't find in a surplus store and most likely they don't have sizes. Its lucky for us to grab an item that fits our size. I usually buy tops, tees and skirts on surplus stores and buy shoes and jeans at boutiques.
