On many weekends, I find myself hitting the local thrift stores in Tracy or Livermore. I do a lot of shopping there for my step-daughter, since she goes through clothes so quickly, and for myself when I need a new pair of jeans or top and can't bear to spend department store prices. I've had great luck at thrift stores finding stylish, hardly-worn clothing for really cheap.
I especially love the Buena Vidas' half price sale on Saturdays. Buena Vidas is a thrift store in Livermore that benefits a local youth ranch. They have a wide array of items and the Saturday prices can't be beat. (They also offer a voucher program for those who can't afford clothing or other necessities - see their website for details.) I'm already planning to go this weekend for my latest crafty project.
Which local thrift stores are your favorites?
