As a regular thrift shopper, I've gained a lot of knowledge when it comes to successful thrift shopping. Thrift stores can be overwhelming, but with guidance, anyone can find amazing treasures and save money.
First and foremost, have patience. Thrifting is not for those who need to feel satisfied to buy. You may have to go through a lot of 'no's' before you find that perfect 'yes'. Make sure you allow yourself enough time to fully consider your options.
When you find something you like, check it out before you buy. Look for any damage, stains or marks. If it's an item that has to fit, try it on. Most second-hand shops don't allow returns.
If you're looking for something specific, don't hesitate to ask the staff. They may know of items in the back that haven't made it onto the sales floor yet.
Another helpful tip is to target thrift shops in good neighborhoods. These stores tend to have higher quality items and may have designer pieces at a small percentage of their original cost.
Finally, keep an open mind. Be prepared to see the value in items that may not initially catch your eye. With a little creativity, you can turn an item into something really special.
So go on, give thrifting a try. With these tips, you'll soon be an expert!
