Smart. And the quality clothes she buys means they last longer and look better. We didn't have high quality thrift stores so I had to learn about "dot" sales and clearance racks and warehouse sells. When my kids were young, they actually won best dressed contests at school. I looked like a bag lady, but my kids looked great.
Thanks for sharing. In the 90s I remember one popular consignment shop. I went a few times on bag sale events. The salvation army was in the really bad part of town. Nothing like today. Thrift stores are great now. Our clothes came from Belk, Sears and walmart. I used the layaway a lot at walmart. My fil worked at sears and he bought things for us to get the discount. Young people today don’t have a clue about stores today compared to now. You could get deals at the big department stores.
Woodworth and Lothrups. Best clearance racks in the world. 40 years ago, I could buy a $200 coat for $15. You had to know when new year inventory was. It was a fun challenge.
And it's fun exchanging the real stories of life. I don't comment on anyplace but here. I know we've been told to be serious always, but the temptation to go off subject is strong. Sigh.
Go to general chat it’s a place you can discuss off topic items. It feels like a little family. It’s normally at the top of page under Hot tab.
I know, but it takes me so long to get through the regular news, I have no time left for the fun stuff, like this. 24 hours ain't enough time.
