I've compiled a list of the Top 10 (make that Top 12) reasons to shop at thrift stores:
1. Helps the environment -- keeps stuff out of landfills
2. Save money on everything from clothes to books to household decorations to craft supplies
3. Benefit a charity -- most thrift stores donate a portion of their proceeds to non-profit organizations
4. Don't have to take up storage space for out of season or larger size kids clothes
5. The thrill of finding that $1.00 Prada handbag
6. Good entertainment when you bring a friend -- makes for many laughs
7. I'm only one season behind in my wardrobe (at retail prices I'd only update it once a decade)
8. Can find books with other people's notes scribbled in them
9. Jeans have already be broken in -- the worn look is back in style, right?
10. Get a picture frame with the photo already inserted
11. Can actaully say yes when the kids beg for something and not feel like I'm wasting a lot of money
12. Great place to find halloween costumes
