I work in a used clothing and stuff store where we go through everything that is donated and the money that is raised goes to the food pantry. We are allowed a certain amount of "goodies" that we are allowed to take home and we get first dibs on things while we work... I have not bought many new things in years (except underwear and socks). It's a way to get "new" clothes and I have a high turnover in my closet because if I didn't take things back in, it would overwhelm my closet space. So if you have any places nearby and a spare few hours, it's worth it.
