I almost never buy 'new' clothes. But I buy clothes from local thrift stores and garage sales fairly often. And it's really awesome. I have people compliment me on my clothes all the time and when people ask me, 'where did you get that?' it's great fun to tell them that I bought it off of someone's front lawn last week for a dollar.
