yeah some people buy from stores and donate to thrift stores so they can be sold to people and a much lower price for those people that can't afford it.
its cool though. I need to find a near by thrift store cause i have a bunch of "expensive" shoes to donate cause my feet got thick when i got fat cause of baby stuffs :[ they don't fit anymore. and my knee highs don't fit cause my legs are to darned muscular thick.
aww that is a very nice thing for them to do, to buy new things just to donate to thrift stores to help out others who frequent those places.
that is also nice of you to donate your shoes that do not fit you anymore. Normally with the shoes that don't fit me that I buy, I have many family members to whom I can give them since we are all around the same foot size range, I guess? haha
I only have one item from a thrift store and I kind of wish I hadn't bought it. It is a shirt that was only five dollars, but it is clearly worn and even the tag on the back near the neck is cut off.
Thrift stores are nice, when I can get to one. There's one over by my job; I picked up Ghost in the Shell on DVD last week for just over $3 (with tax).
