My visiting friend loves thrift stores, consignment stores and the like and asked me to pull over to such establishments several times during the tour I was giving her of the Valley. So several times during her visit, I took on one of the roles to which the males have been sentenced: waiting in patience as the female gives in to her gathering instincts. At this particular store, though, the waiting wasn't so bad. The store is big, well-organized, and had friendly staff and lots of nice clothes that were priced to be quite easy on the wallet; so I ended up buying a few items myself. You'll probably spend less at most thrift stores, but I found better quality and more unique designs here.
