    agree, kids could care less about the economy and what the price of oil is, they think that money grows on trees, wait I think it does, isnt the federal reserve throwing Hundreds of Billions of dollars to already tapped out consumers to help them get out of debt, or are they throwing money at consumers to keep GDP from falling below 0%%%%......

  2. I'm no teenager, but me and my family have been shopping at Resale shops for months now.
    2 weeks ago I made quite a haul. Almost new Dockers for $3.00, and Ralph Lauren sport shirts for $1.50.
    Worsted wool dress slacks, Geoffrey Beene dress shirts, all just $3.00.
    If I'd bought this trunk load of clothes at Macy's or Dillards, I'd have easily spent $1,200.00.
    I think the total was $59.00.
