En: Students sat in groups on the benches outside, chatting and laughing.

Da: Inde i kollegieværelset sad Lars og betragtede sit skab.
En: Inside the dorm room, Lars sat and gazed at his wardrobe.

Da: Hans tøj var gammelt og passede ikke til hans stil længere.
En: His clothes were old and no longer suited his style.

Da: "Jeg har brug for noget nyt," sagde han til sig selv, men hans budget tillod kun få forbedringer.
En: "I need something new," he said to himself, but his budget only allowed for a few improvements.

Da: Freja, hans roommates, åbnede døren, hendes arme fulde af indkøbsposer.
En: Freja, his roommate, opened the door, her arms full of shopping bags.

Da: "Hej, Lars!
En: "Hey, Lars!

Da: Hvad har du gang i?"
En: What are you up to?"

Da: spurgte hun med et smil.
En: she asked with a smile.

Da: Lars sukkede og lod skulderne falde.
En: Lars sighed and let his shoulders drop.

Da: "Jeg vil ændre min garderobe, men jeg har ikke råd til det."
En: "I want to change my wardrobe, but I can't afford it."

Da: Freja satte sig ved siden af ham.
En: Freja sat down next to him.

Da: "Du behøver ikke købe alt fra dyre butikker.
En: "You don't need to buy everything from expensive stores.

Da: Har du prøvet genbrugsbutikker?
En: Have you tried thrift shops?

Da: De har ofte skjulte skatte, og du kan finde noget unikt til en lav pris."
En: They often have hidden treasures, and you can find something unique at a low price."

Da: Lars’ ansigt lyste op.
En: Lars’ face lit up.

Da: "Det har jeg ikke overvejet.
En: "I hadn't considered that.

Da: Vil du tage med mig?"
En: Will you come with me?"

Da: "Selvfølgelig," sagde Freja ivrigt.
En: "Of course," Freja said eagerly.

Da: Næste dag tog de sammen til den lokale genbrugsbutik.
En: The next day, they went together to the local thrift store.

Da: Butikken var fyldt med alt fra retrojeans til sjove T-shirts.
En: The shop was filled with everything from retro jeans to funny T-shirts.

Da: Freja guidede Lars igennem rækken af tøj.
En: Freja guided Lars through the rows of clothes.

Da: Mens han bladrede gennem stativerne, stoppede hans øjne på en designer skjorte.
En: As he flipped through the racks, his eyes stopped on a designer shirt.

Da: Den var perfekt i design og pasform.
En: It was perfect in design and fit.

Da: "Den her er fantastisk, men stadig lidt dyr," hviskede han.
En: "This one is amazing, but still a bit pricey," he whispered.

Da: "Den er meget billigere end nypris," sagde Freja, og klappede ham opmuntrende på skulderen.
En: "It's much cheaper than the new price," said Freja, patting him encouragingly on the shoulder.

Da: "Og den er virkelig dig.
En: "And it really suits you.

Da: Du vil ikke finde noget lignende til den pris."
En: You won't find anything like it for that price."

Da: Lars kiggede på prisskiltet igen og nikkede langsomt.
En: Lars looked at the price tag again and nodded slowly.

Da: "Okay, jeg køber den," sagde han og kunne...
