There is a large, LDS church operated thrift store "chain" here in Utah that I have shopped at before, but I no longer buy clothing there. The majority of the clothing is stained, stretched out, incredibly faded, or downright hideous. Too much work for too little return. I've also been to a couple of locally owned thrift shops but haven't been impressed; most cater to "alternative" crowds and I don't wear that type of clothing.
I do stop in when I need something that I know I can find used - we have a rather large goldfish and he outgrew his bowl. I found a much larger bowl at the thrift shop for $2, and it would have been $30 at a pet store.
