Wearing dead people’s pants

Try not to bash Christians level: Impossible

i got to see the scalpers pull up to goodwill super early and leave with carts of trash on my way home from school. i bet likw 98% of that stuff is still sitting in their storage unsold

As someone who thrifts clothes from savers for my kids, & sometimes my wife & myself, Savers is so damn expensive for second hand clothes sometimes. The kids clothes are relatively cheap but the adult clothes are just barely lower than new stuff. I mostly thrift the kids clothes just because they grow out of them so quickly so I don’t really want to pay full price for clothes they’re going to outgrow in a few months since they’re not in school yet. Once they’re in school it’s a different story altogether because I know kids are ruthless and I’m not having my boys get bullied over something so stupid.

All this to say, I’m now learning that Savers makes a killing off of their reselling knowing that they already buy clothes from other thrifts and mark them up to basically brand new market value… like I knew that thrift stores already prey upon the less fortunate by basically paying the lowest amount they possibly can but also outright charging full price for clothes they already paid pennies for or got for free from donations, it’s irritating as hell but hey, that’s capitalism I suppose…

You have a tugglet (me) who was raised in the Salvation Army, and queer. They have their problems but I will say out of the options they do do a lot of good.

reminder that the salvation army has been directly responsible for the deaths of queer homeless people

Specifically calling out Salvation Army here, for all of my 26 years its always been the place to go for affordable clothing, furniture, decent toys, sports equipment, sandals, outrageous early 2000s heels 😂. It was where you go when your 2-4 kids outgrow their clothes AGAIN in the same year. You could buy real quality jeans that were made of denim still, cotton shirts that don't fall apart after a couple washes because todays goods might as well be landfill bound from the start. But NOW?! Now they have the same colored tag system, and set prices per item as goodwill. Shorts, shirts, pants, fuck even 1 pair of used socks have a SET price that does not meet the quality of the items they actually have anymore because of the employees being scaplers now even. 1 tag at 50% off ? Instead of the 2 50% off tag colors and 1 $0.99 tag color, to make that change at the turn of another recession when people are really feeling the heat is so selfish and greedy. Then you hear on the stereo system inside the store all of the stories from the people they helped like you should feel good shopping here, just to turn around and watch them load semi trucks full of the better quality items, furniture, and clothes to go off to likely be in better sides of town or whatever. Fuck big thrift stores, might as well be Walmart.

As someone who works at good will…for one our district has all clothes in sizes, and 2, tugf, where are going that has a good will that places things by colour? Although, NYC is different than here in Indiana, but NYC is also money pickers too.

mr. bigtugg, im pretty sure a human skull is something all of us own. we just happen to be using them at the moment

my mom thrifted a cool box once because she heard something inside when she shook it, and we got home we peeled off the price sticker to find a little label telling us it was ashes. RIP margret you will be missed…
