When I was living in NC I bought almost all my clothes, except skirts at thrift stores. They had a bunch to raise money for domestic violence homes. It was set up like an upscale boutique with great prices. To keep the inventory from becoming like a junk shop everyday they had a different special going on. Nothing worn or with stains could be donated. I was able to have designer clothing and live on my strict budget, and the money went for a good cause.
