  Yeah, tacos will never be considered an errand.

  When you can no longer afford to buy things, including furniture, at stores, thrifting as a habit become an errand. Not one that takes long enough to meet up with a friend, I agree, but it is a slightly different headspace than going shopping.

    I support thrifting 100% though. Buy stuff from real people, stuff that’s good quality that somebody no longer needs, and avoid buying newly manufactured disposable junk.

      I’ve been thrifting for decades and realized a while ago that I have a totally different idea of what things cost than the average person. I went with a friend to the mall once and watched them drop $100+ on ONE sweater like it was totally normal.

      Meanwhile I’m at the thrift store going, “They want 25 bucks for these jeans!? Who are they kidding!”

    The only worthwhile thrifting is online at this point. Shops are crazily overpriced.

      It really depends on your area, both who’s buying and who’s donating.
