But I'm thinking more along the lines of jeans, kitchenware, etc. I can see it both ways, really.<BR/><BR/>Hope you had a great Thanksgiving.<BR/><BR/>Precious: Some of our thrift stores are horribly overpriced and/or have bad merchandise. Others are really good with both quality and price. <BR/><BR/>There are just some items I won't buy used (again). Washers and dryers would be on that list. I've had too much trouble with them when I've bought used trying to save money.<BR/><BR/>On the other hand, I'll probably never buy another buy another brand new clock radio. LOL!<BR/><BR/>Hope you also had a great Thanksgiving!Annie Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07123644833186800503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5511897216767402899.post-73538636891497451192008-11-27T12:19:00.000-06:002008-11-27T12:19:00.000-06:00I am very particular about what I buy with my mone...I am very particular about what I buy with my money. If it is a need, then I will look for it at a garage sale but it has to be in good condition and priced right. Otherwise I will buy new at a rock bottom price online.I have looked for items at our Goodwill but the stuff there is just awful. I think a lot of people are not buying anything today except for food, gasoline and shelter because they are so overextended on credit and the economy is so bad that they have finally woken up to the fact that they should have been using cash all along. Happy Thanksgiving to you too!American Dreamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14091457436415496408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5511897216767402899.post-77287000067069334862008-11-26T17:17:00.000-06:002008-11-26T17:17:00.000-06:00I see it from both sides...because of the economy,...I see it from both sides...because of the economy, people aren't going shopping as much ANYWHERE, so the garage sales, etc. would be slower...but then if they DO go out shopping, I'd think those would make more sense...but then (see me flipping back & forth here? hee) when you buy new, there's a chance you're doing it for the warranty...<BR/><BR/>So yeah, I don't know. Happy Thanksgiving!!Tughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03603072260312513790noreply@blogger.com
