Does anyone know where to find old 35mm slides in New York? A thrift store of some kind, perhaps?

It seems a bit counter productive to save money at a thrift store and waste it on cigarettes. The money spent on cigarettes would buy him a shirt a month or more. That would upset me, I'm just sayin'.

I am a working professional who has to dress nice and I buy most of my work clothes through thrift stores. I can't stand the thoughts of paying $30-35 for a pair of dress pants that may get ruined at work within a week. If I find something in a retail store I like or that I need quick, I will buy it.

At most thrift stores, if something has a stain or some kind of damage, they may discount it if you show them. Then take it home and use your favorite stain cleaner on it. You'd be surprised what I've done with thrift store clothes.

I've also bought a nice dress and replaced the buttons on it for a new look, this same dress had pinhole type damage to the sleeve, which I gathered and now, you can't tell. Watch for the sales at VOA stores, ours is half off the last Wed. Of the month.

You can actually afford to buy "new" clothes and if they wear out or you get tired of them, you can re-donate them and you're not out hundreds of dollars. Last time I went on a major find, I took a vac. Day from work and my friend and I bought the whole back end of her SUV full of clothes and I only had $100 in mine.

I still wear them today, in fact, I have on thrift store pants. No one knows my clothes mostly come from thrift stores, either, unless I tell them. I tend to stick to name brands and classic styles.

Probably over 50% of my work wardrobe is thrift store bought and I'm the only one that knows that. I am hooked on thrift stores. I buy mostly things for the house and my place is gorgeous.

It looks as though I've traveled the world and brought back many treasures.
