I feel very fortunate, having a loving, supporting, mostly same size wife who goes with me to several thrift stores and helps me with sizing. She also gets a few things for herself.
I turned 55 in January, retired at the end of April. Two close by thrift stores (Aplus bargains and AMVETS) give 25% off to senior citizens on all clothing and shoes on Mondays. On Tuesdays, Two Goodwills near us have their 25% off day for seniors.
The Goodwill stores often have new clothing which was old stock donated by a retail store.
The Salvation Army stores have 5 different color tags, and on any day except Wednesday, there is a tag color of the day and clothing with the color of the day tag is 50% off.
On Wednesdays, 1 Salvation Army near us and another in Niagara Falls have Family Day, where all clothing and shoes EXCEPT for one color tag are 50% off.
