Finding bargains at the thrift shop is easy! Check out our selection of secret thrift shopping tips to secure some steals on your next trip.
There’s nothing quite like the feeling of finding a gem at the thrift shop. Plus, you’re doing your bit to help the environment by reusing garments and donating to a good cause. But how do you sort through the mountains of stuff to find what you’re really looking for? We’ve got some top thrift shopping tips from the experts to help you do just that.
Timing is key when it comes to picking up great thrift store items. Avoid shopping at peak times like weekends when stores will be crowded. The majority of donations tend to come in at the weekend, but often aren’t processed and put out on the floor until early the next week. Aim for a Monday visit if you can!
Mix up where you shop to keep it fresh. While you might think that glamourous neighborhoods are a sure-fire way to find a bargain, that’s not always the case. With everyone having the same idea, you’d have to be super speedy to snag the gems! Try checking out various smaller town stores too, and you might just find something special.
Ensure you have a rough idea of what you’re looking for so you don’t get caught out. Just because an item is cheap or reduced, it doesn’t necessarily make it a good deal. Always check labels, look for quality brands, and if possible, research materials that will stand the test of time.
