as someone who grew up poor (we could afford food, but we never really got much of aything else unless it was for christmas or for our birthdays) we used to have to get most of our clothes from target and the thrift store. i would get bullied RELENTLESSLY for not being able to afford clothing at say walmart or any other fancy brands. shirts used to cost at the very most MAYBE $15 at target, and not going over MAYBE $8 at the thrift store, depending on the shirt.

now, the cheapest shirt at target is $25 and the cheapest at the thrift store is like $15. it's horrendous. thrift stores are for people who can't afford to shop anywhere else and are for recycling clothes. not for rich people to buy and rip up and make the prices fricking sky rocket.

THIS!!!! we used to be poorer (we could afford food n whatnot, but couldnt afford much more than the necessities) when i was younger, and i was made fun of heavily for thrift shopping . now its a trend and the mfs that made fun of me are doing it. wacko and the stores nearme made prices go up, and the area im in isnt insanely wealthy. its so terrible :-(

i hate arguing to start a fight but i love arguing to genuinely have a conversation so dont think i dont agree necessarily!!!. Thrifting isnt that bad imo. I hate that prices have gone up but its actually better to thrift than spend the same amount at h&m and have the clothes rip and end up in a landfill. I agree that if you bully poor people ur a bad person and shouldn't thrift but i really do think that thrifting is often better for finding sustainable clothing. AS LONG AS you also donate!! I donate/give away my clothes once a year but i also thrift a lot!!! It's better for the enviroment and nothing is really wrong with it imo as long as you give back lol

@V4MP1RE_GUTZZ: SAME-- it fucks you up, especially when you don't have a good sense of self, to go out looking for things to make you feel human and seeing a 30 fucking dollar price tag on it when it's an unwashed hoodie with a stain on the back. Like I'm dressing in handme downs FROM MY FUCKING SOCIAL WORKERS. And rich brats can't even spend 10$ in a clothing store that doesn't have all polyester clothes- NOOO THEY HAVE TO MAKE POOR PPL SHIT COOL~~~~~~

Like the reason why thrifting is better for the environment is because it's buying up clothes that would land in landfills and waste our planet away. But the thing is the same can be achieved by only buying cotton/natural fiber clothing. That's literally it. It probably would've helped us poor ppl because by the time those clothes get donated we'll have higher qualit, longer lasting, And probably less gross clothing to us. Also the polyester shit would go down in price and we'd finally have a chance to not raid thrif stores and get fresh clothing for once.

I hate rich kids so fucking much.
