Yeah, it must be the area, I was talking to a friend that had the same experience at a good will.
I go to high end stores and get very cheap stuff at the clearance rack. I bought me a $12 jean 3 years ago at Benetton.
I also get me very nice shirts at $10 at Ann Taylor
I got me a suit, brand new, three pieces, very trendy at $22 at Sears. This was 5 years ago, i still have it.
And clothing from these stores last forever!
I must say I really don't buy much clothing, it is not my thing. Same with shoes, $8-$12 at Payless shoes is good enough for me. I think i have 6-8 pairs of shoes overall.
I am just not a good Thrift Store candidate.
And how about the furniture?! Super expensive, I go to IKEA or Walmart for that, or clearance at other stores.
I saw people at the Salvation Army I went to buying and they looked very low income, I wander if it ever occur to them to try clearance racks somewhere else.
