I would consider people who shop at thrift shops poor, not cheap.[/quote]

Please keep thinking this. Please also keep donating your almost-new brand-name stuff to the thrift stores. Because if you didn't, then I couldn't buy it. Thank you![/quote]

Our annual HHI is $200K but many of our clothes and household items come from Value Village.  [/quote]

I'm the original poster who said I think people who shop at thrift shops are poor and not cheap.

We currently have a HHI of $700k+. However, we were at $200k a few years ago before DH started earning. I went to a thrift shop once and I felt dirty just being in there. I would not be proud shopping at a thrift shop. Fine if you do.[/quote]

Wow!  You are such a colossal SNOB!!!!

Really, what a judgmental bitch!  I'm pretty shocked that someone can genuinely be such a snob.  Do you share such views in person too?  If so, I hope the reaction of others around you is a lesson to you.

Do you have any antiques in your home?  If so, you do realize they are "used" too?  If you want to waste your money, and the world's resources then fine by me.  Just know that I (and many others) think you are an idiot for doing so. I am very proud that most of my kids clothes come from Value Village.  There is nothing righteous about wasting money.  Not only that but most of the clothes are of good quality and often brand new and good brands.  Most of their toys come from there too.  When we are done with their clothes and toys we donate them to Goodwill (we also shop there) or pass them on to friends and neighbors.  We have a great lifestyle because we don't waste money unnecessarily, we also save a ton and have no debt which I doubt I can say of someone who is as much of a snob as you.  You're probably mortgaged to the hilt and when either you or your husband loses your job will have to foreclose quickly and ultimately find yourself shopping at "dirty" thrift stores for financial reasons.  Oh, how the rest of us will laugh).[/quote]
