The Art of Thrifting

Welcome to The Art of Thrifting!!
I am a long time thrifter and over the years I have established some of my own techniques that help maximize the thrifting experience that I would love to share with people. This blog will focus on you guessed it thrifting. Now thrifting can mean a lot of things. It could mean literally going to the Salvation Army, Goodwill, ARC Stores or other “thrift stores”, and hunting through donated goodies. It can also be going to consignment shops, charity shops, church shops and other recycled goods stores. Thrifting is a fun way to satiate your inner treasure hunter while scoring some super cool stuff at cheap prices.
But truth be told, to a beginning thrifter some of these stores can be overwhelming. There is a TON of stuff and not all of it is good. They have clothes, (under and outer), furniture, toys, home goods, and grandma’s old ceramic poodle collection that nobody wanted, literally everything imaginable. Some stores are organized and some are a mess. Sometimes they smell weird and have funky people shopping or working at them, and “funky” can mean a lot of things, you know what I mean, in the best way of course…. ah hem. But overall thrift stores are super fun to go to and nearly every town has one.

The Art of Thrifting will tell you the best way to approach all of these stores to maximize your treasures, your dollars and your time.
