The only thing woman should wear is a potato sack. Even then they should take care to make sure the sack covers the shoulder to at least elbow length, pants to the ankles, and is not flesh covered as that would send every man into a primal state.

What IcePrincess and missionseeker said. Absolutely.

 

Thrift shops are nice when you live near a nice town, but when you live near one of the poorest cities the thrift stores are pathetic.

Some things are already past saving.

I trust that if Missionseeker can find decent clothes at a thrift store where she lives, anyone can.

I should have quoted missionseeker's first post about shopping sales racks. Also, I'm pretty sure mission suggested JCP over thrift stores where possible as the prices are comparable and JCP is brand new.

Don't be a martyr; it's unnecessary.

For some reason my on-topic post was taken off, so I'll just say it again.

 

My sister likes J.C. Penny's.

That's where you're wrong: Posts are impossible to delete.

I have terrible luck with thrift stores, but I have friends who go to the same ones I check out and get awesome deals. I have the best luck finding nice things by shopping sales and clearance racks.

I once went to a thrift store and bought a Risk! board game that should have cost 130$ for 3$. Not one thing was wrong with it and nothing was opened except one bag of soldiers, which had one missing piece.

 I do not advocate shopping at thrift stores and I don't know why you think I said that. That said, I HAVE shopped at them here and occasionally they do have decent stuff.

I usually can't. Although once, I found a really nice formal dress for $7 there.

I fail to see how I'm being a maryter.  I used to live next teh awesomest thrift store.  It was only a few miles away from the last stop on a commuter rail of a very uppity large city.  The clothes were GOREGOUS and the whole thing was the size of a football stadium, I swear.

 

I now live about 10 minutes from a boarder town thrift store that is taxi/bus distance from a city where 40k people are below the poverty rate and about 5k are below half of the poverty rate.  For a Northeastern city a 50% poverty rate is devastating especially for a non-metropolitan city.  

 

I actually go further north to shop as the prices seem quite inflated in my area in both the thrift stores and the retail outliets.  It dosn't help that I live in a tax free area while the impovershed city is not.

Even still, missionseeker was not suggesting you go thrift shopping. (And now she's confirmed it herself and it's not just my reading comprehension ability verus yours.)
