Browsing through thrift stores is a favorite hobby of mine. You never know what treasure you will find and it just feels good to choose used over new when possible for the sake of the planet. It also helps the family budget.
Thrift Town is one of San Leandro's largest used clothing and household goods store and boasts that it adds 4,000 new items to its inventory every day.

I'm curious to know whether readers would consider "regifting" something from a thrift store and why? How would you feel about getting a "recycled" gift? Do you have a favorite local thrift store?
