If it isn't worth the money then I don't buy. Just like any other place I shop. If they are making a profit that is between them and the government.

You could shop at Goodwill or similar organization and get similar deals. Then much of your money would be helping people. Most people incorrectly believe the Red White & Blue stores are similar to Goodwill when they are not.

I visit them as well. If they have something I want and I think is worth the price I buy it.

I refuse to shop at thrift stores. The clothes have already been worn. You can hit the clearance racks at some retailers. You can get clothes much cheaper then thrift store prices.

I got two actual Dockers sweaters from Sears at the mall at Robinson for less then $10. You get clothes when they are off season and the store is just trying to move merchandise. I have gotten t shirts for my son at Walmart for $2. You can actually find new clothes cheaper. You just have to look around.
