Mango.
Mango. Womango. Childgo. Humango. Go go gadget! The 80s. Care Bears, Rainbow Brite. Commercialism. Products. Products of our environment. I remember when I first discovered the magazine Adbusters. I was 19, I think. It spoke to me. I haven't always been soo so anti-commercialism, but I was getting there then. I've always been a thrift store shopper. I never felt poor. We weren't poor. But we were bargain hunters, and there was no shame in that. I love being a bargain hunter. I hate that name brands cost so much more just because of the brand. There's a brand called Obey. I think it's a skater brand. And I just think it's so funny, that people walk around in these caps that say "OBEY" and I'm like, you are! You are doing exactly what they want. Yet it's an anti-establishment brand? Maybe I'm imagining that part. La la la la la. Clinique. Eddie Bauer. Money stealers. Foolish shopping. Capitalism!
I am a bargain hunter too and refuse to pay for the name. "Money stealers"...love that! : ) I love how your thinking out loud brought you to this subject. : )

I hear you!!! the only thing I find annoying is a) thrift stores have become expensive and b) that it takes forever to look through a bunch of crap to find one good item.
I am not a shopper.... Only food. I love to shop at Farmer's Markets LOL

Yes, I totally agree about thrift stores! But I also made a commitment not to buy new for things like clothes (within reason...I still buy new underwear). Lately I've been using Poshmark because at least I can shop from the comfort of my home, and still buy used!

my favorite are hand-me-downs :)
Do you have a buy nothing group in your area? (Facebook). Here, people are getting rid of clothing all the time...

Yeah, we do! And I'm part of it, but people don't give away clothes very often, other than baby or kid clothes.

Maybe do a ask... Or suggest a clothing swap party. There is a group they call them naked lady parties. That would be cool 😂
(they are really clothing swaps lol)
