I shop at thrift stores for fabric and wool sweaters for winter clothes for my naked chickens. (it is pretty hard to find actual wool sweaters). I will occasionally find actual clothes I intend to wear, but not often. We have an NBC clothing store in Tulsa, all new clothes and at thrift store or cheaper prices. You have to be dedicated to the hunt to find the real bargains, but a couple times a year I enjoy a "me" shopping day and head out for the bargain hunt! lol
Thanks for the reminder about the thrift stores attatched to animal rescue groups. I have a LOT of good clothes I've been trying to find a home for in the church (since most are dresses and skirts suitable for church) w/o success and we have one thrift store in Tulsa that I know about that is for rescue animals, I would be willing to make the extra drive to donate there.
