I have noticed lots of people with the north face clothes, but I had no idea that they cost anywhere near $300! I can't believe people pay that much for jackets.

Thrifting for me is like going back to that part of my life where I wasn't at all happy, and so I don't do it. I've moved on. I buy new clothes. I buy what I like and I buy what fits! I just don't do it very often. :) I wore hand me downs most of my childhood with a bit of thrifting (we only bought the day’s sale items though) when I was older and we were a bit better off.

My buddies were shocked when I told them I found brand new boxes of Titleist Pro V-1's at our local Goodwill. Someone must have donated from an estate sale as they had 2 brand new boxes. Retail would have been $40 each and I picked them up for $5 each. That’s a great find. My buddies were shocked when I told them I found brand new boxes of Titleist Pro V-1′s at our local Goodwill.

And if you donate to them, then that's even better. Too many people just toss things in the trash, forgetting that there are plenty of places that they can take those items to be put to good use.

I'm in the market for a light-weight coat myself, and you have reminded me to check out the thrift stores in my area. That jacket is a great find!

Some of the fanciest, well-to-do people in my area leave their pricey items at the local Salvation Army. So why not buy there? But I have to tell you, my Christmas shopping this year was almost as good as going to the thrift shops. I found the most amazing prices on items, discounts on the day I shopped, with coupons, with additional discounts! I found a gorgeous sweater in Macy's(wanted it for myself, but anyway)that I expected would be under $20. When I reached the register the salesgirl told me "$7 please". You had to hear the collective gasp from the shoppers behind me! All of my very gently used items go to thrift shops, some even not used with tags on!

Tis amasing the stuff people throw away and the crap they keep. January is a great time to score on closet clean outs and the cool gifts people didn't want like my Black Dog Rise mukluks I bought for $10 brand new that are hand made and retail $350 online.
