My sister said her $12 Shein haul is 'just like thrifting' and it made me pause.

She argued that buying cheap new clothes to wear once is the same as buying used, but I think it ignores the waste and labor issues, so what's your take on that comparison?

That "just like thrifting" take is a wild way to ignore the whole environmental impact.

Forget thrifting, my last haul was three stained t-shirts and a broken toaster. You're right though, pat_murray53, the shipping and packing waste from all those online returns creates a whole other trash pile. My closet's full, but my recycling bin is overflowing.

Shein hauls are the opposite of thrifting.
