RE: How We Spent $25 at Goodwill

in #savingmoney8 years ago

You made a mistake with the hat maybe. You could be a style icon!

I only get used clothes if I can. It's one thing I do not like to spend money on. Also - there are all kinds of chemicals sprayed on the new ones now. It's a strategy in my "healthy living" groups to never buy new clothes since you have to wash about 20 times to get all that junk out of them. So you buy used and someone else suffered for you! Now when I get new clothes I wash them a few times first before wearing. What a world.

My son would love the collared shirts you got. He's a thrift store shopper as well.

Upvoted and resteemed so maybe more thrifty people will find you :)

Haha! I'm glad there are more of us out there! :) My brother is the same way as I am too, only he gets into the weirder stuff lol

Are you saying I'm not weird? I do my best!

Oh, exactly. The "offgassing" from new garments is nauseating. I'd spend an entire day trying to walk away from myself, sporting a new pair of jeans, because of the weird toxic chemical smell that wouldn't go away until after about a dozen washes....
That...somehow came out wrong....
But I think you know what I mean...
