I love love love shopping at thrift stores! There's a lot of junk, but if you sift through it you can find unique or vintage pieces. I think a lot of people are just turned off by the stereotype that everything you find there is dirty, unwanted trash.
If it bothers you that she has these opinions, simply don't tell your friends where you get your clothes. They'll never know! You could also try talking to her about how judgmental she is being and explain that Good Will is actually a very clean, well maintained business (at least - the one near me is). You could even try taking her with you the next time she goes. Maybe once she sees that it's not a junkyard she'll change her mind.
