I am with kfamr and finn's Mom with the thrift stores. I CAN afford to shop any store in the mall but I am really not into fancy things. I shop the Goodwill and thrift stores a LOT and have found some wonderful things there. I also shop garage sales and stuff for things I want. I got the dress I wore to my Grand daughters wedding at the Goodwill store and I can tell you, I could not have found a dress in any mall store that complimented me more than that dress! It made me look 20 pounds lighter and took my breath away when I tried it on and saw how it looked.
