Often can buy new for less than thrift shop pricesMAMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04447760948479326740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20432226.post-17617882607319635202013-10-17T17:34:47.407+01:002013-10-17T17:34:47.407+01:00Ridiculous!

They need to rethink their whole pricing strategy and also get more into upcycling/sustainability. I hate the idea of them disposing of lovely old fabrics. But the overpriced cardi and the destroyed old quilts are different, though seemingly contradictory, aspects of the same distorted way of thinking.Jane Houshamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00838867793630660837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20432226.post-40809100110149738142013-10-16T07:09:38.804+01:002013-10-16T07:09:38.804+01:00I blame Mary Portas who tried to turn them all int...I blame Mary Portas who tried to turn them all into boutiques. I remember the shock when the sign "credit cards taken" appeared in one of the towns shops. Saddest of all old linens, quilts etc are sent disposed of as "rags".Pathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15771378948765147509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20432226.post-19099234657265649602013-10-16T00:37:12.709+01:002013-10-16T00:37:12.709+01:00The prices are astonishingly high here, too, parti...The prices are astonishingly high here, too, particularly in the American Cancer Society's Discovery Shops. Same kind of prices as you're seeing. I simply don't shop there, except to look through their 25-cent magazines. Plus for a while at ACS, when you were checking out, their associates would ask if you wanted to make a donation to ACS -- can you believe that?? <br />The animal welfare thrift shops are much better deals. I regularly get really nice, hardly worn clothes for 50 cents a piece. Cate Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04079028386218370915noreply@blogger.com
