Family Dollar

My sister and my dad thrift. One of my dad's favorite things to talk about is how many shirts he can buy for five dollars, for example:"How much did that shirt cost you? Ten dollars! I can buy 10 shirts for five dollars!" And my sister has started thrifting as well. No more Hollister and A&F. All Something Old, Something New and The Village. Two skirts, two windbreakers, three shirts, and two sweaters all for fifteen dollars!

Bargain hunting. Must be genetic.

Cheap clothing in Buenos Aires- Thrift stores and feria americanas

There are two types of resale clothing shops in Buenos Aires- the Feria Americana and the thrift store. Feria Americanas sell used clothing, but in good condition. You can find them behind booths booths in the Parque Centenario or little stores in Palermo. The clothing in much cheaper than buying new, but still costs from $10-$60 pesos.

There are only a few thrift stores in Buenos Aires and the only two I have been to are called Tzedek and are run by a Jewish organization called Tzedaka. I do volunteer work sorting clothes with lots of awesome Jewish women, so I see most of the clothes before we hang them up. There is a lot of crap, most of which we re-donate or throw away, but sometimes you find a jewel...something spectacular. Like the 1950's Eva Peron dress that I bought, or the kindergarden teacher's skirt, or a Jazmin Chebar (designer) shirt. It is possible to find amazing things.

If you are in Buenos Aires, I highly recommend going. Here are the addresses of the two Tzedek locations:
Serrano 333
Lavalle 3333
