I used to be a bargain hunter and loved going to the second-hand shop when I lived in Liverpool. Now, not so much, because we don't have those kind of shops here. People don't like buying or looking at used goods here, but we do donate our used clothes and goodies to donation boxes, which are then sent to orphanages throughout the country.
I do wait for sales though, since that's pretty frequent to happen here. I love scoring greatly discounted winter clothes in spring/autumn and vice versa. That is only when we need the purchase not so urgently. Two years ago, the zipper on my winter jacket broke in the middle of winter and DH decided to buy a jacket ASAP. I pouted a little looking at the price!
