[quote=Anonymous]all i can think of while reading this post is the macklemore thrift shop song... haha... all of you need to go to youtube and watch the video now if you havent seen it already! :)

anyway... on to the topic...

i defintely have found that when you go to a department store you can typically find the namebrand cheaper if you go directly to that brands website (example, if you see osh kosh at macys i bet it is cheaper on their website) - so unless it is an outfit you MUST have at that moment then you might as well just buy it online later

i have a "junk email" setup where i get probably every spam email from any store you can think of and when i feel like shopping i look through it to see who has some good deals and use those coupons or codes or whatever.  so technically it is "new" and "name brand" but at least it is reasonable.

that being said my son does have hand-me-downs and i am so glad he does because there are some things i never would have thought to buy my son myself - it helps round out the wardrobe

i personally have not had good luck at thrift shops, but i think that is mainly because i am not patient enough to really look through the items and find those "diamonds on the rough" that i know exist.  i also hate shopping and like doing things online so that is probably why.[/quote]
