Shopping, Thrift Style
I love shopping; every type of shopping including big name stores like Macy*s to Flea Markets to Thrift Stores. I'm good at finding great deals when I shop. There are a few times when I'll find something that is semi-pricey that I just have to have; other times, I'm good with a great find.
Back in the Spring my sister, Donna, and I cleaned out my mom's garage. We kept things that we had stored there that we still wanted and then we boxed up things that we no longer wanted or needed.
We tried to give the boxes to a local thrift store(who shall remain nameless) but they didn't want to take the time to go thru the boxes for the things they thought could make money.
We ended up taking it to a Charity Thrift store, Donation Pickup, Car Donations place that was glad to accept them. I think it's great if you can donate things to Charity, especially if you don't need them anymore.
Even though I don't live in the Houston area, The Houston Charity Center sounds like a thrift store we have in Chattanooga. They even have auctions where you can buy a wholesale lot at a great price.
If you can, donate to your local charity; it will help someone else and make you feel good.
