thrift shop masochism 

An insatiable need to go into every thrift store you see and buy something uniquely hideous no matter how badly you wish you could just keep going.

My thrift shop masochism has intensified beyond a manageable stage since I saw Macklemore and Ryan Lewis’ video masterpiece.

E.g. Hey, Macklemore! Can we go thrift shopping?

I'm so pumped about some shit from the thrift shop

thrift store 

A place that sells used clothing (and other items) for dirt cheap. Contrary to popular belief, thrift stores are not necessarily nasty or strictly for poor people. (Although some do smell like basement.) Yes, there's a lot of junk there, but you can find something nice if you look hard enough.

My preppy friends think it's weird that I like thrift stores. I just enjoy "treasure hunting" through the racks, and when I find a great deal on a cute piece of clothing, I feel like I've made a discovery. Besides, I don't want to spend more than I have to.
