Once you cross the threshold into thrift and realize what you can save, the normalness that accompanies buying retail tends to fade and rather quickly at that.

I have bought used clothing and other things at yard sales and estate sales. It takes some time but if you are patient, a good deal for something you need often will present itself. I bought nice bath towels at an estate sale once for $1 each... an elderly lady had died, and her family was selling everything including the house. I got a deal. I bet the towels at retail were $8 each if not more. I admit it felt strange at first, but I got used to it after saving so much money. If you always pay retail for things, you are probably spending more money than you have to. I repaired clothing for years and sometimes still do.
