We just got a Goodwill store in our town and I was really impressed by the quality of goods they had in there. They had some really great ride on toys for my little one for $5! I will definitely be checking in and out of here before Christmas.
We've got a couple of thrift stores in town, and I just love them. I recently found a couple of amazing dresses and belts for just a few dollars apiece... If you check back regularly, you can find some fantastic deals!
I like to visit them every so often. But we really do not need, or well can afford anything right now. I like to go in search for cast iron cookware though.
I like to look for cast iron cookware too but I seem to have more luck with that at a local flea market. We can't really afford anything right now either but I take my daughter in there to get toys and books really cheap.
Real cast iron cookware is hard to find sometimes and the few places I have seen online and local both have nasty prices that I am just not willing to pay. I still thrift browse more than anything though.
Being affected by the current economical situation, actually thrift stores are my favorite places to shop now. If you are lucky you can find good quality stuff there for incredibly cheap price. I often find great deals in thrift stores nearby my location.
I can normally find a ton of great clothes in our local Goodwill with tags still on them. The housewares leave a lot to be desired around here, but I'll take cheap, unused name brand clothes any day
