Simple & Thrifty Style

I am a great advocate of shopping at thrift stores. One can obtain all sorts of useful items for one's person and home. Thrift store shopping provides benefits in so many areas, such as:

• The world and environment - You conserve resources by reusing existing items instead of buying new ones.
• Worthy causes - Many thrift stores operate to benefit charitable organizations.
• Your creativity - An artistic or creative person, for example, may find inspiration or simply some ready crafting supplies just by having the eyes to see what is available in unexpected places.
• Your pocketbook - Items at thrift stores typically cost mere fractions of their original prices.

For my part, just the other day, I obtained a "like new" pair of Gap khaki trousers for $0.95. What have been your thrifted prizes? Please share!
