While in college, we got a pretty decent pool table for $5 or $10; not a slate table, but it was in pretty good shape & something I'd never seen before in the living room of a suite.

a pool table for $10??

holy shit i'm going to goodwill tomorrow

I just bought 7 shirts from a thrift store today for $45. I could have bought 1 new shirt for that price.

A nice shirt is a nice shirt regardless of where you got it. Hell, I also picked up an original NES and a N64 for $10.68.

Older stuff maybe, but it's not all bad.

Jeans are timeless, of course. Furniture, as long as it doesn't have any sort of radical design or color, is fairly timeless.

And a few years back I bought a nice Sidewinder 2 force feedback joystick....for $3. Even today people are selling them for $100 all over the web. It works great.

Good thing I'm not a shallow elitist who is "above" shopping at thrift stores.

I wonder if any of the Hot Deals people are that way...

I used to. Now I get t-shirts from cheapestees.com (20% off coupon out till tomorrow!) and a $30 pair of pants now and then.

Ironic that I just came back from a Goodwill after I read this.

I have trouble being embarrassed in general about anything that I do. I don't give a flying fuck what people think about me. That being said, I don't shop at Goodwill because I can't shop for clothes in any stores because I'm to fucking big. Online shopping, yey

I was there today!
