[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP here.  I think of thrift store shopping as a hobby, mostly.

At my current stage of life, I have more time than money.

I have a beautiful home that is lovingly decorated with my thrift store finds.  I have been known to spend more on a few cans of spray paint than on the item itself (for example, my son's headboard...$3 and I spent maybe $12 on spray paint).

[b]I also donate an incredible amount (usually two big shopping bags) per week (!) back to various thrift stores I frequent.  I am obsessive about donating [/b]and love decluttering; plus, with the great deals I've scored, if I want to load up my car with my daughter's entire collection of bedroom furniture, I can (and will) and simply re-decorate.  It can all go back to the thrift store.

Win-win.

I am not cheap.  I have great taste and save my family big bucks, enough to justify staying at home for a bit longer.

See, this is great.  I'd be curious to know how many other thrift store shoppers actually give back in this way.  Or are you just a taker?
