I live in a rural county in VA and we all haul our own trash to the landfill. Over there is a shed for trading usable items. Books, egg cartons, shoes and lots of clothing. I get many shirts over there. Also helps that we are a way western suburb of DC with lots of prof. folks having vacation homes out here and they discard gorgeous men's shirts. Maybe just have an ink spot on the sleeve. Also our fire and rescue co. has a thrift store and they occasionally have a $5 bag sale--all you can stuff in. I agree paying $7 for a shirt may not be worth it. I make charity quilts and have to fight the tendency to make pretty little girl quilts so the shirts solve that problem. I come from modest means and just can't bring myself to pay $12 a yard for fabric--and then give it away. Also, around here if any yardage is donated to SA or GW, they consider it "rags" and sell it to a recycler. I hate that!!
