Thrifting fueled by compliments

I love to thrift shop.  The more overflowing with stuff and under crowded with shoppers, the better.  Recently found treasures included a little black dress, fun belts and a bedazzled top that may be a little young for me, but it was designer and only $3.  Yesterday's trip resulted in $5 paten leather shoes, Aerosoles that hadn't been worn.  The clerk commented on how nice they were and I realized that that was yet another benefit of thrift shopping. The excitement over the find is fueled by compliments from other shoppers or the clerks.  Simple words of praise also wipe away any buyers remorse, not like there's much when your total bill is less then what you'd pay for a bottle of wine or a few lattes.
