Bargain Shopping

As a full-figured woman, I have that friend who is always telling me about that find that she found at Salvation Army, Value Village or any other thrift store. Keep in mind this friend is about a size 8/10. I love her. I am happy for her finding these things, but really could she stop telling me and trying to get me to go.

When I go, I find junk in my size. She tells me that I am not going to the right one. I have gone to every single one that she has gone to. It is junk in my size. The reason that I am finding junk is because the other women my size are probably holding to everything that they have ever worn between a size 18 to 24 like I hold on to my items. There things that you never want to fit into again, but the amount of money paid for the item is too much to depart from the item.

The other thing is that the close are not sized. I hate looking through clearance racks at Macy's, so for me there is less of a chance that I am going to devote my time to looking through racks at these stores.
