I agree that Thrift Stores can be more than Discount stores like Target, but the thing I get at thrift stores is 1) everything is on sale prices, 2) high quality clothes for cheap. The latter is the most important to me. I love that I can own jeans that fit me perfectly for $10 instead of settling for jeans at Target which never fit right. I also love the selection at thrift stores.
One trick is to find a store in a less expensive area that borders an expensive area. Lake Forest goodwill pulls from Laguna Beach and Hills. Oxnard thrift stores pull from the Ventura County suburbs. Pacific Beach pulls from the San Diego beach communities. These all have really great thrift stores.
