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]

This is a symptom of being disconnected from real life and its prioritization of different essential purchases such as food, clothing and a roof over your head.

Please do not be so ignorant, rude and insensitive as to excoriate thrift-store shoppers. Some are obligated to do it, and some, like me, find it a thrill to find lovely vintage designer clothes, save money and be eco-friendly into the bargain!

Consignment shopping takes time. And of course one should be vigilant: I freeze all my purchases in the freezer as soon as I get home to kill off any potential clothes mites. Then I wash them. A common-sense precaution, and well worth the extra effort, considering I buy my favorite Burberry, Dior, Janie & Jack, Jacadi and Catimini brands for - let me see - a 10th of the price?

It's a smart way to consume, and save my money for more long-term investments.
