How difficult will it be to find second hand children's clothes in the next year? Will your favorite second hand store or your local thrift store be forced out of business due to a new law that says certain children's clothes (for kids 12 and younger) will now (all) have to be tested before sold (although, giving them away may be allowable)?

There was too much to clip, but a lot of interesting and important information at the original site.

Thanks to my girl, betmo (http://betblue.blogspot.com/2009/01/poor-folks-screwed-again.html) and my friend John G for the heads up!

Something I've noticed; with the cost of everything going up and people starting to shop at used and second hand outlets these stores are also raising their prices. They have the idea that if people with money who just want to save a few bucks are shopping at their stores they can raise the prices. But people like me who can't afford new are beginning to find that the prices at second hand stores are slipping out of our reach too.
