I have to admit that one of my favorite things to do is going to estate sales. My next favorite thing is shopping garage sales. I don't have a lot of time to do either of these things, but my dream is to someday be able to do this as much as I want.
I have no problem with buying things that are second hand. I do feel a little dirty the couple of times I have been in a Goodwill or Salvation Army, but that may be all in my head. I don't know. I have a friend who bought a great purse just this week at the Goodwill store. Funny thing is she has money to buy whatever she wants. She just likes bargain shopping. One of my elderly residents bought a $1200 lift chair for $200. A wife bought it for her husband who died two weeks after she bought it for him. Now, that was a bargain!
