That last line has me busting up.

The less electronic components and moving parts, the less there is to go wrong

Bonus, sometimes the clothes you can get second-hand are higher end as well!

I have consistently found named brands at the charity and second hand shops.

Love the thrift stores, it's like a treasure hunt!

Second-hand shoes my beloveds. I have a pair of converse that were £25 from a second-hand designer shop. Anywhere else it would've been £140+ (they're an old limited edition no longer in production). I've also gotten ~£125 docs for £30 second hand, because they had the tiniest, most invisible bit of damage to the toe (they're pink fushia pascals- there's a lot of similar listings on ebay). I'm very picky with my shoes- my feet are very narrow and a lot of cheaper shoes rub or are uncomfortable. I've never had an issue with docs, converse, and vans for some reason and it's always nice to get them cheaper than normal

I get alot of my clothes now from Salvation Army. $6 for a pair of jeans, like $2 a shirt. I recently picked up some name brand, really good shirts for my boyfriend. You have to look, but there's alot of nice things there.

I couldn't agree with this more. I'm a bigger guy, so it can be difficult to find clothes for myself, but they're out there, shoes as well. Everything I've bought over the past 7 years or so have been from Goodwill, or a consignment shop or on clearance.

Vinted is the way forward!

My great grandfather died from wearing a second-hand suit

I have a specific Goodwill store I go to, that where I get all my $100 jeans from, Ralph Lauren collection (and no, I'm not talking about the ones you get in the discount stores, I'm taking about the ones at Saks, Neimans, joe jeans, diesel and most of them still have the tags! I asked a clerk how is it that they get so many nice items with the tag and she said the stores donate the out of sedan items that haven't sold and get a tax write off.... Shhhh,

I almost exclusively shop second hand. It's so fun

People give brand name, brand new clothes away to thrift shops. Everyday.

I had a friend in college who we all thought went to expensive stores due to her clothes being so posh. Come to find out, she shopped exclusively at thrift shops and found the cutest clothes! Some were even brand new with tags still on them. I admire her so much.

Charity shops all the way! I buy 95% of my clothing second hand. Especially good if you can sew enough to do minor alterations. If you run out of space, or get tired of something, you can just donate it again, and someone else can have a turn.

I bought the prettiest winter coat at a thrift store. Cost more to dry clean it the the cost of the actual coat! I love thrifting!

Can't remember the label but coat that suede soft as a baby's butt with a two-skin blond mink color. Now I would never, but I didn't even have to alter it and I had it cleaned and stored twice. Original to me $12. 2 "vacation spa trips" for it $50 each. I thought it was well worth it but then I sent it back to the thrift store to have another life.

I've found stuff at Goodwill that still has the tags on them. (Pro tip: go to the nicer neighborhoods. The wealthy LOVE to donate.)

Yup. You wear something new twice and it looks second-hand, anyway, so why pay for the depreciation?

For the last 20 years, I have bought second hand wool winter coats from eBay... I had a vintage 1950s coat I gave to a friend when I lost weight. My current one is a navy Windsmoor coat I bought for £20

Used to drive a forklift in a chilly warehouse. All my sweats, flannels and thermals came from Sally’s.

I have MAD designer and name brand clothing from 2 local like Salvation Army type stores. I got my husband $80 jeans for $17... He already has 2 pairs. I almost had a heart attack over the sales price. they're even his size. He's had them for over a year now. They were brand new tag and everything. The SHOES I get omg... I'm telling you shopping smarter has paid off.. haha paid off 😂

I'd much rather go to a second hand store then buy new.

I've found super bargains in thrift stores that l would have never been able to buy originally. Some items still had new tags

I work in clothing manufacturing and if y'all knew the mark up on new clothes you would run to the thrift stores. I cannot buy new because I know how much it cost to produce and it hurts!

This! l buy most of my stuff from consignment stores. l get designer purses for half price and clothes that were made in France and Italy. Vintage stuff that is barely used for a quarter of the cost of retail and much better quality.

Goodwill is the best! When my husband had to wear nice suits/jackets and ties at work, he found a genuine Tom Ford jacket, as well as some Hermes ties, and a Zegna suit. This prompted him to learn how to tailor and he was the best dressed guy at work. We still have a room we call the tiny tailor shop.

If you know quality, you can really do well by thrifting.

This!! I used to get so sick of going to the mall and only finding whatever happened to be “trendy” and then I discovered consignment stores and my shopping improved 100%. The clothes are good quality, it’s better for the environment, you’re typically supporting a small women owned business, and I’m constantly discovering new brands. Plus some things are literally new with tags!! The only downsides are that if you really like something and it’s too small you can’t get it in a larger size. I’ve also discovered that some things have flaws you’d only notice wearing it for a while, like a wrap sweater that falls open but those are usually easy to fix.

Over half of the clothes in my closet are thrifted

Unfortunately what I’ve found with the second hand shops, it’s still the cheap fast fashion clothes that are being donated and just not worth it.

My mom is a seamstress and always told me to actually look HOW things were sown together and which kind of fabric was used. Verry important.

Except technical clothes, never buy brands or expensive ones.

Same 😉

I shop goodwill and thrift stores all the time, most of my clothes come from them as well as clearance racks. I try not to pay full price if I can help it.

Pro tip: Go to the second hand stores in wealthier neighborhoods. You'll be amazed at the high end brands you'll find

I love ThredUp and try to buy most of my clothes from there. I haven't had good luck in local thrift shops.

Secondhand clothing is the best. And every once in a while you might find some cash someone left in a pocket. You won't be wearing the same thing as everyone else also.

Now get my $200 jeans from eBay second hand for $20 or under.

I have lots of designer clothes - all from local thrift stores.

I love the inexpensive brand NYX!

I need to check out this moisturizer from Aldi!

Hyundai and Kia have really brought their A game to the industry in recent years.

Im sure op will find that {Insert nationality, gender, etc} barbers will give a good haircut. It comes down to experience and skill.

I don't understand why people think that iPhones are better tho. I'm typing this on a Samsung that's been shot by an airsoft gun (accidental, trust me), thrown across the room (on purpose to prove a point), and accidentally dropped more times than I can remember. still has longer battery life and works better than all my friends with iPhones
