Without clothes, there would be no laundromats, and without laundromats, most of us would never get to see strangers' underwear. Enjoy clothes ownership's ancillary benefits with today's Groupon: for $10, you get $20 worth of clothing, shoes, and accessories at Value Village Thrift Department Store's locations in Fenton, Florissant, Shrewsbury, and St. Louis.

Honored as Best Thrift Store of 2010 by the Riverfront Times, Value Village Thrift Department Store earns panegyrics while accoutering customers with outfit components from an ever-altering stock of resale and gently used duds. Racks of designer and vintage clothing ($0.99+) swaddle men, women, children, and bashful Greek statues, and sterling-silver jewelry dangles from napes. Fashion gatherers can slip toes into a pair of pink cowgirl boots ($8.90) or feed voracious cabinets with utensils, linens, and cookware ($0.80+). The store purchases much of its collection of fashionable wares from charitable organizations, and its dedication to repurposing garments renders it as largely green as The Hulk or a professional bodybuilder covered in grass stains.
