Five reasons to shop at thrift stores
just as a sneak peak:
1. Less energy, fewer chemicals.
2. Reduce your water footprint.
3. More thoughtful consumption.
4. Save money.
5. Donating your gently used clothing to thrift stores gives back to the community.I seriously had never thought about clothing with regard to #1 and #2. read!
also, grist! (is amazing)
just because you buy things from goodwill doesn’t mean you’re into “vintage”. christ.
agreed. just because it’s from a thrift store doesn’t make it ~*~vintage~*~.
Is it just me or do people give you weird looks when you say you shop at a thrift store?
sometimes, most of my friends are just as cheap as I am or they cosplay a lot so we all thrift together.
I do remember one time a girl asked me where I got something I was wearing. I usually avoid telling people just because there are a lot of harbored misconceptions about thrift stores and people who shop there. She kept nagging me until I eventually told her, and she sort of made a weird face and walked away.
I wish more people were open to the idea of it, I hate how a lot of people assume they are dirty places that mostly poor/homeless people occupy. I know for a fact I could afford brand new clothes from the mall, but I’d rather have more unique pieces and a bigger wardrobe for 80% less than mall prices. And besides, there’s no guilt of you spending $30 on a pair of jeans and not wearing them.
