I remember on Real Housewives of New Jersey where Theresa Guidice wouldn't live in a "used house."

Definitely not dolls. My aunt bought a doll at a thrift store once. It kept crying red tears. Completely ruined the lace doilies on her end tables, where it usually sat. When it wasn't eerily watching you.

No clothes, shoes, any personal item like that. Nothing with fabric, basically paintings, picture frames and wood furniture.

I don’t think I’d buy sheets.

I buy cookbooks, especially the “Anywhere First Baptist Church Cookbook 1982” type.

+1. I'll buy plenty of stuff from a thrift store, including clothes. But definitely not dolls. It's like, 90% guarantee of possession there. *shudder*

People buy these things, OP, which is why they’re on sale in thrift shops.
Not sure why you want to be dramatic about it.
I buy designer clothes on eBay and certain local consignment stores, and have furnished half my house with period pieces from Craigslist and estate sales.

That is my only limit.
Thrift stores do sell them.
I buy sheets, tablecloths, placemats, furniture, cookware, dishes, decor, framed pictures, frames.
Love thrift stores.

Pretty much this. But I’m such a tough size that I don’t bother looking at clothes. I’m looking to school amazing cookware for cheap. Or a nice planter.

For me, anything that can go in the dryer is fair game. I've bought sheets, vintage nightgowns and chemises, bathing suits (vintage and new with tags on).

This. I shop new for the same or cheaper often.

They definitely sell bras in thrift stores. Only underwear that is new, though, I think.

Bed bugs are just as likely to be in a non-upholstered piece of furniture as an upholstered piece. They live in the little crevices where the wood is joined. Ask me how I know.
Oof.
We got ours from a 5 star hotel.
It was my first time staying in a 5 star
