I hear you man, the salvation army here is charging ridiculous prices for things that could just be bought new.
I thought it was supposed to be for the poor and impoverished people of our community.
They cant afford to buy things new, that's why they shop there.
Its all about the bens, there is no love for thy neighbor anymore....just corporate greed

The answer to that is yard sales and trading amongst neighbors.

Oh yea! We had a gas station on the corner and he had penny and nickel candy. It was the good candy too! Remember Neco Wafers? Those were 10 cents back then! TEN CENTS!! Now they are like a dollar! My mom would give us each a dollar and send us on our way. We'd be in that store forever picking out goodies and the old man that ran the place was as sweet as pie!
Oh how money seemed to go further then....lol
