Just want to add that consumerism is important in order to support our economy but at the same time it allows people to feel good by what they own instead of being healthy and feeling good from that. Buying objects is external where as good health is internal. You can't feel good on the inside unless you take care of yourself. You can get some pretty awesome deals if you know how to shop.

Good for you! I have no interest in following fashion, and really don't care what others think I look like - I'm just looking for something that fits that I can exercise in. (I still have 100 pounds to lose. Maybe I'll feel differently about it once I'm much slimmer.) Fortunately, it's illegal to sell used undies in Canada - so that's not an issue. Childrens' shoes are cheap, plentiful, and barely used. I guess a lot of kids grow out of them before they can really get a lot of use. This has been a lifesaver, as I have a fast growing 2 year old (he's wearing size 3T & 4, and currently in a toddler's size 10 shoe.) Good shoes can cost $60 or more, unless I go to the infamous W-store - and we've done this a few times - just to have the shoes fall apart after a few uses. The local thrift store boasts some great brand names. Toys, books, DVDs & VHS tapes are also terrific buys at these places. If I buy a toy that might end up in his mouth, I run it through the dishwasher before he gets it. We got a big coffee maker - the kind you find at meetings, for summer family get togethers, for a few bucks. Uncut sewing patterns, sewing notions and misc. craft supplies are always around for pennies on the dollar. And used sheets (run them through a wash with bleach) are great for practice sewing or making sun dresses. Have a great day! Buying from thrift stores is much better for the environment. Good for you!

Your consumer angle is dead on. Why add to the already bloated refuge of clothes, books, and just plain stuff when you don't have to. It's amazing the quality of merchandise one can find a a thrift store and at extremely good prices. Plus, as one changes sizes, donating unwearables to your local thrift store is a great way to keep your own closet or house, as the case may be, uncluttered.

Thrift stores to me are a fun place to shop. There are all types of clothing to choose from, and some of it is high-quality at a reasonable price. I like to find pieces that are not run of the mill but help me stand out and show my uniqueness. As others mentioned, you can find so many different types of items all in one place-crafts,books,linens, furniture,kitchen goods, decor,outdoor items, sporting goods, and more. Buying at these also helps non-profits, creates jobs for others- including handicapped workers who otherwise wouldn't be able to work, and gives us an alternative choice to Walmart and other "low-price stores" where the quality is often lacking. I also donate to these stores and feel good about doing so as well as getting the tax deduction. Hi,
