How thrifting has kept my wallet thick

     So guys, about a year ago, my friend Camille introduced me to thrifting(quick s/o to you girl) and ever since then, I no longer feel guilty after going on a shopping spree. Now, instead of spending over $200 for maybe a pair of jeans and two shirts, I can go into Savers with crinkled twenty dollar bill, and leave with a practically new jacket, maybe two pairs of jeans, and a cute shirt or two. And almost everytime, a main brand product like Levis, True Religion, Calvin Klein, etc, that when bought from their store is around $150, I'm getting for less than $7.
     This brings me to my point. Today I'm wearing one of many thrifted jackets, and this one I thrifted a few weeks ago from Savers, and its a light wash denim jacket with sherpa lining, trucker style, and it was maybe $6 and it happened to be Levis. So of course I was like hell yes and now I wear it maybe everyday. I came into to fashion design today, and my friend were all "omg theresa ur jacket is so cute where did u get it??" and stuff, and when I said Savers and that I got it for less than $7, they were like waaaaatttt. But this got my wondering, how much did this actually cost because I have this jacket and three pairs of Levi jeans at home and also a pair of Calvin Klein jeans that I all thrifted. I looked them up only and compared it to how much I paid for them and ohmygod guys, I AM SHOOK
I GOT THIS FOR $6?????
Then I looked up the original prices for all of the jeans I've thrifted and ??!?!?!?!
THESE WERE $7
$5!!!!
$3!!!!!!!
THESE WERE $4??!?!?
I did some math and if I had bought all of these items at their full price, my total would've been $386!!??!?! BUT I THRIFTED THESE FOR A TOTAL OF $25!!!! I GOT THESE AT ABOUT 6.5% OF THEIR ORIGINAL PRICE. F*** IT UP SAVERS WIT DAT 93% OFF SALE!!!
