[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Stuff that I have purchased at thrift shops;

1.  A set of dorm furniture for my youngest son's bedroom (I refinished it);
2.  an 12 piece place setting of Pflatzgraf winterberry dishes for Christmas;
3. an 8 piece place setting of Ralph Lauren stoneware for everyday;
4.  work clothes for my husband (mostly Brooks Brothers);
5.  work clothes for me (Ralph Lauren, Brooks Brothers; lots of other nice labels)
6.  casual clothes for me;
7.  spare rain jackets and spare winter coats for my sons.

There's a ton of stuff that I would like to have that I can't afford new. I don't care if it's used as long as it is in good shape. [b]People who complain about saving used items "for the deserving poor" are crazy. Americans consume so much stuff that thrift stores stay fully stocked [/b]and sell tons of other stuff for resale in other countries.  No one is deprived of anything.[/quote]

This could not be more true. And if anyone doubts it, take a trip to Unique Thrift Shop over in Merrifield.  The sales floor is massive and racks and shelves are overflowing.  There is always a few employees brining additional items out to the sales floor and then you can peek in the back and seen a ton of employess sorting and pricing the massive room of items that have been donated.
