Does anyone here shop at thrift or second-hand stores? [View All]

I have always shopped at thrift stores, even when times are good and I'm working, because.......well, hell. I'm cheap!

Anyway, I got laid off Wednesday before last and I thought I would try to update my interview wardrobe before I started sending out resumes, so I have made several trips to my favorite thrift stores in the last week and a half.

I've been amazed that the thrift stores seem to be packed with shoppers now. It's like going into friggin' Walmart or K-Mart. The aisles are packed with shoppers and their screaming kids. I have to drive around the parking lots looking for a place to park.

Anyone else found that browsing at your favorite thrift store has become more of a harrowing experience lately?
