You might be...

[ChrisMiss]

We all remember the You might be a redneck.  Well, I thought it would be fun if we came up with some sayings that describe a thrift store shopper.  I thought of thrift store junkie.  Also what do you think would be a great title?

You might be a thrift store shopper if on Black Friday you head to thrift stores instead of the mall.

You might be a thrift shopper if...

...you have an 8-track collection.

You might be a thrift shopper...

If you have dozens of oil paintings showing more heart than skill, all by artists who only seem to have first names. :-)

If your china or glassware collection has expanded into the basement

if you buy a jacket with a name embroidered on it and it's not your name!!

if your kid thinks Vinny is the name of the cashier at St. Vincents!
(Let's go see Vinny.)

if you bring a donation in the  ts back door, then drive around to the front to shop.

if you have something in your hand to buy and realize that you'd donated it the week before.

if the ts cashiers all call you by name.

You might be a thrifter if:

You think the prices at the dollar store are toooooooooo high

Your social circle includes the homeless and those on the social register

No one in the entire universe EVER has on the same outfit you do

People politely tell you you have your "own style"

You see things on home improvement shows you were doing in your home 20 years ago and did them for a lot LESS money

Martha Stewart rips YOU off

Ciao, Bellas!

guilty.

guilty. not only that, but i've needed it and had to buy it back!

guilty. but it's only one cashier, and she knows me because she's the manager and i've given so much to her store. does this get me absolution?

You need clothes for a fancy function and the first place you head is to the thrift store.  (Isn't that right TSR).

Way too true! And you try not to snicker TOO hard at the function when everyone comments favorably on your outfit.

Your outfit was wonderful that's for sure.

My daughter mentioned to me that she'd like to go "clubbing" when they meet us in Vegas this summer.  I found a beautiful dress for her to wear while doing that.  I got it on half-price day so it was less than $3.  It's short, spaghetti straps, black shimmery fabric.  If she likes it I'm going to look for other items she could wear for a night on the town.
