Kind of shocking…
I know the Goodwills around here send stuff to a clearance center where it’s sold by the pound after it’s been in stores a while. But I’ve also noticed…the thrift stores are really raising their prices. I have put so much stuff BACK on the rack, AT GOODWILL, because I couldn’t afford $8 for a pair of used jeans (for example).
I’m seeing the price creep in toys, too.
My family had to stop shopping at Goodwill. We couldn’t afford it.
It does make me feel a lot less bad about refashioning. My sister tries to make me feel guilty for cutting up clothes that are “perfectly fine” and should be donated, to make other things out of them. But I don’t really feel bad about that anymore, reading this.
