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. Can I find what I need at a second hand or thrift store?
