it shouldn't be shameful if you give back
Would you take your family to a thrift store for free clothes or would you be too ashamed?

If I had a family and needed stuff, I would go. But I'm single and don't need anything.
11/05/2012
yes i'd be the first one there! lol
11/05/2012
maybe
11/05/2012
If we had to yes. If someone is in need, there is no reason to feel ashamed to go get what you need. However, I don't think people need to take advantage of it if they can afford their own. There are plenty of people that honestly need it.

If we needed to, I wouldn't have a problem.
11/05/2012
If we were in need yes I would.
11/05/2012
Sure. If I needed clothes and I liked what they had, sure. If I didn't like anything, though, I'm not going to take things unnecessarily.
11/05/2012
I would!
11/05/2012
I wouldn't have a problem with it if they had things in my size that I would wear. I don't have the money for new clothes or anything really which is why I love Eden

When I was younger and we didn't have a lot of money, we always went to garage sales.

I shop goodwill and yard sales, so I'm not against used things or really cheap things. But I would have to be really broke to take free clothes from someone other than a close relative...I guess I have too much pride, I'd feel guilty about it unless I swapped even with someone. I was raised on welfare, so I guess I just have personal issues with feeling like I owe people. But, hey, to each his own, if someone else needs help, then more power to them.
11/06/2012
Absolutely!

Though I grew up in a wealthy family, since being on my own I've been skirting on the edge of homelessness and have relied on food banks and such in the recent past. I don't think there's any shame in seeking help like free clothing/items/food if you legitimately need it!
11/06/2012
i sure would, and i'd give back if and when i could.
11/06/2012
Of course I would! Times are hard.
11/06/2012
I might. It depends really on my financial situation. Right now, I can afford to buy myself clothes, so I'd feel bad taking away from those who might need free clothing.

I wouldn't shop there but I'm NOT ashamed either.
11/06/2012
Yes, I love free things
11/06/2012
Maybe. I wouldn't do it in all the time.

No, but because I'm a germ-a-phobe and won't use used clothing, free or not.

I spent years trying to get back onto my feet with 3 small children after finally escaping an abusive marriage. I have had to use thrift shops as well as food banks in order to do so. I have always done it with a smile on my face because I knew it was a stepping stone for my family. I would never be ashamed to do what I need for my family. Just like I became a cam girl and have shown who knows what to who knows who just to pay the bills.

When I go to a clothing closet I always bring in my childrens outgrown clothes, usually more than I bring out. I like to think that while these places are helping me, I am helping others. It keeps me smiling and my family warm.

We don't really go through clothes that quick to even warrant going shopping much. I still have shirts and whatnot that I wore in middle school.

Being cost-effective is nothing to be ashamed of, especially if you genuinely need the stuff.

Only if I were in desperate need. I have gone there for furniture when I had nothing, but they didn't really have anything i needed at the time. i was fortunate enough to get my stuff from friends and family.
01/17/2013
That sounds awesome!
01/17/2013
YES!!! I love thrift stores, but I probs wouldn:t get a crib or a TV from there. But clothes, pssh, throw um in the washer before you wear them and you are set!
01/17/2013
I totally would. I love thrift stores and have no shame about going to them.
01/17/2013
I love the fill-a-bag kind of sales! My mother was never very into thrift stores when I was younger but I loved them. I have no shame shopping at them, it's wear I find all my really unique items!
01/17/2013
I'm actually planning on some thrift store shopping after school starts. XD
