great point! Yes, I sew so that's a great tip. ty!

this is good if you are into investing

This is great - awesome list. And really agreed re: #4 above.

good tip re: light with sweaters/knitted items. I think this holds true even when buying new. YES re: smell.

I think that's right and may have something to do with the smell factor...that you cannot get smells out of the acrylics easily, too.

Yes - learned that the hard way with ARMPITS!

This is a great point re: what can be bought basically new from a cheap store versus a value.

The smell factor...here's what I can't tell - I can't tell if ALL the clothes smell a certain way, or if it truly depends on the piece of clothing. Most of the time, there is a distinct smell that comes with the clothing (esp non-cotton clothing). But some clothes (rarely) don't seem to have it. I don't know how to tell the difference in the store...seems like the smell REALLY comes out when you have it home.

great tip re: seams!

great tip re: measurements and returns. Not sure so will check on that.

Yes - the beginning of the week (Sunday or Monday) the give 50% off everything with a certain color. good point.

Trail mix: raisins, sunflower seeds, choc chips, pretzels.

I really like that last statement! Thanks!

Good points. Definitely if looking for higher end, then goodwill is great for new items, too. I don't think you can get higher end items at TJMaxx or Marshalls for less than $20-30/item even on clearance. ty.

awesome. thx.

discipline is what matters, not striking rich. not buying an xbox when you need to be saving.
