Mostly goodwill and salvation army lol. I haven't been to an actual mall in years..probably since the last time I dragged my old teenage boyfriend with me. My boyfriend does like to go thrift shopping with me but he spends like 20 minutes poking through old tvs and records then starts rushing me and ruining my thrift store zen
He's definitely an obstacle to your zen experience. I would suggest relegating him to the car while you enjoy the presence of discarded items.
The bolded part is the only reason for me to have someone with me when shopping for clothes. If I hate anything more about choosing and buying new clothes it is finding out afterwards that i was too quick or otherwise wrong in my judgement and won't wear the clothes I bought... I think I have solid taste but I just need proper feedback when going out and select new clothes.
