Default Re: Clearance rack vs. thriftshop for clothes

I used to go to Goodwill but they have become so expensive! I went there to get a turtle neck and the lady at the register said it was $8.00. Told her no way! Went to JCPenny's and bought a turtle neck for $4.00 on clearance. Usually I go to St. Vincent de Paul's. There prices are very cheap and good quality. I have a hard time finding pants that are a 7/8 in the store. I always get my pants from there. One time I went and bought a pair of pants that had a the store tag still on them, $38, and I bought them for $3.00. Before they put their clothes on the racks they wash and iron them. This is at St. Vincent de Paul's. I do buy clothes at the store clearance rack also, but I always check the thrift stores first because it is a non-profit organization and all the money they get from their sales go back into the community and most of the people that work there are volunteers.
