Naturally, it doesn't apply to those on tight budgets who need to save money any way they can - and that number is increasing these days.Billhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03412983524190021368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4942719624481214321.post-66564936155408355062009-02-02T02:25:00.000+11:002009-02-02T02:25:00.000+11:00Never looked at shopping at a thrift shop and givi...Never looked at shopping at a thrift shop and giving more than their asking ~ but it's a nice gesture. I haven't been to one in years, but my daughters love to frequent them. Their not poor, but raising a family nowadays can be tight. Especially when the kids are involved in extracurricular activities. i.e., music, dance, soccer, basketball and baseball. These activities can break the bank ~ especially if one is a teacher.<BR/><BR/>They also like to donate to charities. I will tell them next time they purchase something from one of these shops, to pay a little more. Maybe even donating items they're always donating to Amvets, better to donate to a church thrift shop.<BR/><BR/>JudyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
