When I was a kid, you wouldn't be seen dead walking into a local charity shop to look for clothing because you'd get made fun of. I didn't understand why my classmates who were probably in the same economic class as me would make fun of me when I admitted that sometimes we'd go to Oxfam. These days with the financial crisis going on, everyone is out for a bargain whether it's in a thrift store or online apps like Ebay or Ali Express. I do it regularly. As I'm a grown assed adult, I don't care what people think of my methods. I've found some interesting stuff in Thrift stores! Half a dozen Barbies , dresses and cardigans. Clothes are expensive, I have 2 kids and most of the money make goes into their clothes, Bill's rent,food and stuff! I'm lucky if I get something for me. I've found some cute things on second hand sites and apps like desigual dresses not not just for me but for my kids as well. But that's not the only place I look....
