Thrifting Tips and Tricks
It's important to take advantage of your thrifting opportunities! Here are a few ways helpful hints to get you through your day.
Where to Begin?
Don't Stress! It can be easy to feel overwhelmed, especially if you are not familar with the store you plan on heading to. Here's a few ways to help you get started.
- Make a mood board: Having some inspiration is always better than having none. Pinterest is just a tap away!
- Check your spot's social media and Google reviews: Get a feel of other shoppers' experiences and what they have to say. Make sure to leave a review yourself for the next person!
- Make a list: By making a list of things you may be searching for, you are opening your mind to other ideas and fun things you might be interested in.
Feeling Stuck When You're Shopping?
It can be hard to want to keep searching when you feel like you're wasting your time. Here's a couple ways on how to end your thrifting day, even if the outcome is not what you were expecting.
- Be happy with what you have: Even if it's only one item, you've still taken the time to find it, and that is still counted as a success! Something could show up on your way out!
- Take note for next time: Did you quickly look through the racks or shelves, or did you take the time to really dig and strike gold? That extra time you take to really look through the store can make or break a great shopping day.
- Wrong store: Maybe this spot wasn't for you! That's okay, that's why there are plenty of other places highlighted on our page!
