April Update: I made 3 new purchases in April: I bought a pair of Teva flip flops from the clearance rack at DSW and two t-shirts at BJ’s Warehouse store. I need spring clothes and I always find the cutest name brand tops at BJ’s at decent low prices. My mother recently borrowed some luggage from us for a plane trip.

My mother recently borrowed some luggage from us for a plane trip. Can I find what I need at a second hand or thrift store? I have found new or gently worn name brand clothing, snow gear, shoes, household stuff, and books. I have found new or gently worn name brand clothing, snow gear, shoes, household stuff, and books.

Shopping the sale racks at your favorite store is always an option, but there are two ways to find even better deals on clothing. Thrift : I regularly stop by my favorite local thrift store and find crazy bargains. I only shop on Wednesdays, when the store has a 50% off everything sale.
