I love thrift shopping, but some of these places are infested with bugs. I used to try on clothes at a local Salvation Army all the time, then one day I found a GIANT tick on a dress I was just about to put on. After that day I started inspecting things carefully and I find them all the time. Also tiny little spiders. Many thrift stores are perfectly clean, though, especially the ones in nicer neighborhoods.
