A christian organization founded by General William Booth is the mid 1800's. They are actually aa denomination, known as "salvationists". They are spread accross the world, offering various public services including disaster relief, shelters for children, women, and the homeless. They also offer drug and alcohol rehab among various other services. They spread their religion in this process. I guess i just wanted to point out that it isn't just a thriftstore. You ignorant fucks.

A great place to find rather interesting...albeit used...books, CD's, cassette tapes, record albums, 8-track tapes, DVD's, 12" laser discs, VHS video tapes, BETAMAX video tapes, and obsolete electronic equipment.
A lousy place for finding clothes, furniture, or anything else that might be useful for day-to-day living.

"The Salvation Army thrift store is having another book sale, four for a dollar. Unfortunatley, they're also having a used underwear sale too...."

A place intended for the lower-class households to pick up some used clothing and other items at a discounted price. It seems all of the "different" kids go there now to buy vintage shirts, because you can get three for a nickel or some shxt like that. They are usually the type of kids who complain about society having "brainwashed" the preppy kids.
If you think you're cool for buying clothes at the salvation army, just remember that you're wearing somebody else's pitstained t-shirt.

Like oh my God, I just got this brand new emo shirt at the salvation army today! It's totally rad! It says "John's Pickle Shop" on the front! I think I'm going to wear it to the Dashboard concert this weekend! It will totally fit in!

Thrift store thats annoying to be in for more than 30 mintutes, but has great *used* clothes at good prices. If you think only poor people shop here, your wrong. If you think I'm scum because I get like 70% of my clothes from there, STFU, cause im not gifted with money like some of you material people who only worry about getting stuff from the best shops at the mall (See American Eagle and Tommy Hilfaggot).
"Those annoying emo guys need to grow up and get a life outside of thinking they have to act sad and wear cheap clothes in order to fit in."
