What actually IS a thrift store and where on earth can I find one?
I'm English lol so I'm really not getting this and it would help if someone English could explain it to me...no offence if you are another nationality, but an English person will be more likely to be able to give me examples of these 'thrift stores' :)

These are examples of thrift stores. Personally, I think they rule. I got a brand new couch no stains or rips for a grand total of 45 dollars. Rock on thrift stores! Peoples unwanted stuff is cool.

The easiest way to describe it may be an indoor garage sale. The prices are usually pretty cheap and most iof the stuff is in good condition. :) [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]
