Thrift store shopping is like "big-game hunting" for me with the "thrill" is finding the best quality clothes and household items for the fewest dollars. As a child, I used to say that when I grew up I would be rich and hire someone to break in my shoes for me. Thanks to the thrift stores, this hasn't been necessary, and no blisters!

I enjoy looking for good bargains as well. But please be careful buying anything such as shoes or underwear from the thrift stores. They harbor so many germs and diseases that I would not do it. Even washing numerous times cannot get out certain things. I have seen with my own eyes foot fungus from used shoes and more horrible things from wearing used undies. I wont be that graphic here :-)
Otherwise thrift shopping can be great at times. I really like it when you get a new piece of clothing that still has the store tags on them. Some are truly awesome!
