I have not bought any new cloths from a retail store in many years. Fringe benefit of my antique hobby business. Every Thursday and Friday, weather permitting, I'm out looking for yard,rumage and garage sales.
Yesterday I stopped at a church sale and got some great deals. Bought a Champion brand college sweat shirt. It is made out of high tech recycled material, including plastic. Just the long sleeve 1/4 zip shirt sells on Amazon for $33. Add the licensed college team shirt and they go up to $45. This one had little, if any use and cost me one dollar. Bought 2 other T shirt that day, one for another dollar and one for 25 cents. At Goodwill and the Salvation Army, those same shirts run from $2.99 to $5.99.
Harder to find, I'm looking for nice pairs of size 13 running shoes.
I love my side gig and retirement.
