Having never been a person with a lot of money to throw around, I have become very adept at spotting a bargain, but I'd like to think I'm a discerning shopper more than a cheap one.
Sure, sometimes I just really love a shirt I see in the window of a fast fashion store, but if I choose to buy it, I do so knowing that I'm probably not going to get very many wears out of it.
So normally, I'd rather buy something at the thrift store that's got some life left in it.
