[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP here:  thrift store hobbyist.  This may make your collective heads spin (esp. you who think thrift stores are only poor people clothing stores)...I buy beautiful, NWT or gently used baby clothes and DONATE them to a local clothes charity/mission that serves local people in need.

There are some people for whom a thrift store is cost prohibitive, more likely, they are working and do not have time to thrift shop.  I do it for them.

I just love to shop.  I also bargain hunt for clearance items throughout the year and make special seasonal donations.  Win-win.[/quote]

I agree that this is very cool. My mom is a thrift store hobbyist and my kids love it when nana visits with a box of her thrift store finds for them. When the kids outgrow, we re-donate the stuff that is still in good shape. If my kids ever get "too cool" for thrift store clothes, I'll suggest this idea to my mom. Another great thing about being wealthy-yet-thrifty is that you have more money to give away. See, for example: http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/wonkblog/wp/2013/05/31/join-wall-street-save-the-world/ [/quote]
