[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a teen my daughter was really status conscious. Everything had to be branded. Now she's a SAHM and displaying a gift for thrift shopping. She's requested handmade pillowcases from her aunt for Xmas for the children, based on their hobbies (trains and maps). I feel unaccountably proud. [/quote]

If she is thrift shopping, she is still shopping.  Handmade pillow cases are special and still very status conscious.  Your post is lame.  She probably got it from you.[/quote]

I'm not OP, but that was uncalled for.  [/quote]

New PP. Idk it actually kind of sounds right though[/quote]

I agree. The first op was unnecessarily nasty, but the op's title is wrong. Her daughter isn't moving away from consumerism unless she's only purchasing what she needs rather than what she wants. There's nothing to indicate that from her post. Only that DD isn't buying full retail, which reflects fiscal responsibility, not that she's turned her back on consumerism. [/quote]
