| | I chose the first 3,,thats usually the main reasons,,but I have shopped at thrift shops for pretty much all of the reasons.My oldest is looking to move out from his dads home and will be needing to start over (since his breakup with the ex girlfriend),,so thrift shops and freecycle will help him out alot! |

| I normally go for the clothes. I think we've bought baby clothes once as a gift, and a lamp once.
But I am always looking for sweaters and shirts!

| Books, clothing, kitchen/bathroom accessories, mainly browsing because you never know what you might find.

| I do not get there as often now, and if I do it is usually just to browse as it is getting harder to find anything. Prices are way up and selection not so good at my thrift shops.
