Recently, I heard a newscaster quote an anonymous female shopper as
complaining that she'd been shopping in thrift stores all her life,
but the prices were suddenly going up, apparently, because more and
more people are using them these days.

Has anyone seen evidence of that?

Lenona.

I'd agree. Part of it has been the disappearance of the better/cheaper
thriftshops here.
