I'm 64 years old and have shopped for clothes almost exclusively
at thrift stores since I was a teenager. I've seen some cookware in
thrift stores, a few blenders too - thanks for the suggestion though -
and I'd buy one if one popped into view - but they're so inexpensive
anyway, relatively speaking, that I'll just get one new if and when I
decide I want one bad enough. I just hate the marketing aspect of
things. The marketing itself is interesting, but it's ugly and I
resent the way things bought only a year or two before are removed
from the market to force us to hunt for newer and untested items. The
worst offender of all are athletic shoes. You find a good pair, you
better buy yourself enough to last as long as you think you're going
to live, then store them in a locker. That's the one advantage to
getting older that I've found: the older you get, the more likely
that what you're buying will last a life time.
