Do you have to buy things new or would you go to goodwill or thrift store

I am single, and therefore have only 1 income for the household..I maybe buy something new 2-3 times a year...other than that, I do all my shopping at thrift stores and yard sales..i get good clothes for usually about $1 or less. I know they aren't new, but who cares? I have far better things to do with what little money I make than to spend it all at the mall. I have found some of the best clothes at these places, and no one knows that they werent bought new off the rack.

I buy stuff new and i go to thrift stores, i usually go to the rescue mission here in town and the bargin box, the goodwill store and a discount childrens consignment store, i also shop yard sales and garage sales looking for bargins. Some things i will only buy new, but i am always looking for a bargin!!!

I think it would be quite an adventure to buy everything second hand not only would you save but you would have fun seeing discarded treasure that can be yours for a song.

I do both. I go shopping for new things. But I also love to go to thrift stores, because you can find some great things there.

I always buy from thrift stores. It's a lot cheaper. Then I can save my money for things that are really important to me - like travelling!
