I too love the charity shops, there and here.
Moaning about weather, I do it here, it's too flippin hot most of the time and when were in UK this summer it was so hot everyone was moaning then too. You can't please everyone all the time.
Clothes are a little more expensive but will last compared to the cheap junk I buy here.
Disregard for health. Ha, we have familes around here who couldn't cook to save their lives, and eat out or eat take out or canned and packet food for every meal always, it's all they know. Twinkies and HoHo's are their staple diet.
