| - This is the first thrift store that I have ever been to.
Now, I'm a bargain girl.
There are things that I will pay top dollar for. However, dress shirts aren't one of them. Now that I'm looking for a part time hobby (job) I've been going on interviews. Now, my dilemma is, I'm covered in tattoos. (i know, poor me).
Looking around, target, Wal-Mart, Kmart, and the list goes on..... To get a decent, long sleeved dress shirt is going to cost you at least $20.
Now, I'm sorry.... But for a shirt that I am possibly only going to wear for 15 minutes just isn't happening.
This is when I was told about Savers.
Don't get me wrong, I was a little skeptical. I mean, only junk is sold at thrift stores, right ?
That was a completely ignorant thing for me to think.
Now, are there some things that are dated in there ? Absolutely.
But there are some really nice things and brands in there. I've seen Hollister, NEw York and Company, Lane Bryant, you get the idea.
They have blouses, tee shirts, suits, shoes, men's, kids.... Home goods, you name it....they have it.
There are a limited number of dressing rooms...and their try on limit is 6 articles of clothing... But that doesn't seem to bother me.
Also, there are days when different colored price tags are 50% off. So, like today, I find a lovely button down shirt, and spend $2.70 on it .
Decent prices, and it goes towards a good cause (they partner with Shade tree). How can you REALLY go wrong ?
Also, ask for a "hero" card. Every time you bring in a donation, you get 5% off. Now, you can use this 5% right away.... Or come back in 5 more times (6 total) and get a total of 30% off when you donate.
