I was asking a friend where he got his stylish shirt. I know he’s a great shopper, he likes value and dresses sharply. He had this red shirt on that my husband had his eye on. It was the “perfect” red. My husband decided he was going to ask to try it on. It wasn’t the correct size. I asked him where he got the shirt from, I thought he was going to say Robinson’s or Nordstrom. I know he’s a sucker for value so I was even thinking that he might say Ross.
You know what he said?
He said ” Salvation Army.”
Wow! Who would’ve ever known?
Then I remembered a few years ago when my mother-in-law would go to Salvation Army or those other thrift stores, shop on the day where they give her the senior citizen discount. She would look for the brand name shirts, send them to the drycleaners, bring them to my husband and older sons, pressed with high starch. The shirts were like brand new.
My friend said that there are days when they’ll have half off discounts. That is definitely the way to go to save money and have a fresh wardrobe, for low prices.
Recycle, that’s the ticket!!!! Try it out! Find the thrift stores around town, find those values that we all LOVE!
