[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The image above is not a million miles away from my aesthetic as a teen.

I thrifted a LOT. My girlfriends and I would take a whole day and hit ten thrift stores. We'd spend $15 and have 3 new outfits. [/quote]

I didn't know that there was a verb "to thrift".[/quote]

American Heritage dictionary says so:

https://ahdictionary.com/word/search.html?q=thrift

thrift  (thr?ft)
n.
1. Wise economy in the management of money and other resources; frugality.
2. Vigorous growth of living things, such as plants.
3. Any of several densely tufted plants of the genus Armeria, especially A. maritima, having white to pink flower heads with a funnel-shaped scarious calyx.
4. A savings and loan association, credit union, or savings bank. Also called thrift institution.
intr.v. thrift·ed, thrift·ing, thrifts
To shop in thrift stores, especially for clothing: "I'd hoped the zine would connect all sort of people—[who] understood how much cooler it was to thrift than to buy new junk" (Al Hoff).
[Middle English, prosperity, perhaps from Old Norse, from thr?fask, to thrive; see THRIVE.]
