There is a mixed bag of thrifts around here. The Goodwill recently opened and I find their racks are so stuffed it is difficult to browse clothes. I did get a nice pair of Lee pants for $1 though. The Salvation Army is in the basement of a building and many times the smell drives me out before I can get any shopping done.
In the other direction is a thrift store with kind of high prices, but great selection and they WASH, IRON and even DRY CLEAN everything that comes in!!! They never have a sale though, and no system to move out things that have been around for a while.
Further away is one that ALWAYS has great sales based on the tag colors - first 1/2 price, then $1.00 for a couple of days, then $.10 for the final two days. I like hunting for bargains!!
