Hint I can get 10 sets of clothes including shoes for around 50 bucks per person. Socks and underwears from big lots adds another 20 bucks. recent great score was 50 pairs of gloves for 12 dollars , those should last for about 5 years before I gotta think about getting more. [/quote] Thrift shops are great. I live in a very affluent area, and got most of my clothes from thrift shops. Rich people wear something a few times, then donate it. I dress extremely well for very little. [/quote] I live in a city where thrift stores are considered "hip", and prices have gone up accordingly. I could get one outfit for one of my kids for about $10 (not including shoes - that would be another $7-10). Gotta hit the yard sales for the best deals now because the thrift stores are not nearly as much of a bargain as they used to be. [/quote]

Is this is what supposed to happened in U.S. :(
Hunger is becoming a reality for one in ten families who are skipping meals or relying on charity and hand-outs, a study said yesterday.
In some cases, mothers are putting their health at risk by eating only every other day to make sure their children do not go hungry.
Some nine per cent of people have sometimes skipped meals, gone without to feed their children or relied on friends, family or charity for food in the past 12 months, according to a study backed by Tesco.
