Even when I try the same brands.<br /><br />Were the thrift store jeans never new? Where did they come from?<br /><br />Are the product of some sort of illicit twill breeding that goes on in the back of closets?<br /><br />Anyway, I'm not ungrateful, just powerful confused.<br /><br />I like $4 jeans way better than $35 jeans.Heather Houlahanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13891198124130533198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4223331007274443185.post-58836386530065377172009-11-27T06:10:17.498-05:002009-11-27T06:10:17.498-05:00And don't forget that the thrift stores are th...And don't forget that the thrift stores are the only way to get those lovely sheets we use to gather each fleece after shearing!Ninanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4223331007274443185.post-10500476016034210222009-11-25T10:53:29.607-05:002009-11-25T10:53:29.607-05:00I should have known my loyal readers would be fell...I should have known my loyal readers would be fellow thrift store fans! Amy, your story had me laughing out loud. Little could you foresee at the time that the TRUE horror of motherhood would be the fact that you would someday be the one with the holes in your underwear because you wouldn't have time to shop for yourself!Krishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04479177289466582728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4223331007274443185.post-77992853586918908672009-11-25T10:49:30.426-05:002009-11-25T10:49:30.426-05:00You will have to join my friend, Sharon, and me wh...You will have to join my friend, Sharon, and me when we get fleas.<br />LOL We love the resale shops.

I suddenly wanted to run home, never go back and questioned my choice to be a mom.

I agree with you, thrift stores have always given me the best in pant selection since I'm between petite and "normal" length. Plus I never go anywhere that looks matter too much! And if I get home and the $4 pair doesn't fit? I'm ok with chalking that up to a contribution and putting it in the bag to get donated back to the thrift store.
