I went thrifting today

[vercetti2021]

I know I should be resting but many suggested a good new wardrobe starts with budgeting. I told my girlfriend this and she being the big thrifty hipster she is lumped at the idea lol

So we went a few places. Was still sore but I was feel moderately okay. I got some second hand clothes and then I started feeling bad. So we left and now I'm here at her apartment lying down.

Thanks for suggesting me thrifting. It didn't cost me much at all

1. I'm so glad you are up and around - she is a very good friend!

Such a balancing act after any surgery between pushing to help healing, and over doing it. Seems like she's taking good care of you.

12. Yeah

Shes the best. Most the day I helped her clean her apartment. Now she is mad I did stuff strenuously

4. Thrifting or shopping at estate sales can save you a ton of money.

I'm glad that you felt well enough to get out and about, but it does sound like you overdid it. Take it easy for a little longer and build up your strength gradually.

6. Yeah that is a definite

We went to 4 stores and I was just feeling it by the end. But I got plenty of new clothing!

5. Thrift store clothes.

Every item. Soak in the washer with some 4% vinegar for some time before closing the lid.
Thrift store prices have gone up in recent years. Still a good deal.

7. Thanks for the tip!

Soak and then wash?

8. Yes. Just delay the start by keeping the lid open.

Old top-loader. YMMV with this modern nonsense.

I searched for answers and others came up, like baking soda and so on.
This seems reasonable.

Might take repeat washes to get the fabric softener smell out.

10. I've never had a problem with thrift shop clothes.

Just a regular old wash when I get home.

I regularly use baking soda anyway.
