At some point in your life you probably shopped at a small sonsignment shop or a goodwill, probably because of the prices
some people are attracting to thrifting to flip stuff for profit, others for the lower prices on clothing, shoes and furniture
today, we’re looking at how thrifting is beneficial in multiple areas
what is thrifting?
going to a store with discounted or second-hand items to buy products for less than what would be paid in a big box store
reasons to buy second hand
- it’s cheaper
- prevents waste in landfill
- most secondhand shops will give back to the community
- find high quality items for a lower price
- opportunities to score rare items you’ve been looking for
- good for the planet
- less pollution
- maximizes life of items
how thrifting is better for wallet and planet
when it comes to buying clothes, they can get expensive and if you have a limited budget this can help keep spending low.
by buying secondhand and donating items it keeps items out of the landfill
how thrifting is better than fast fashion
instead of spending money on cheaply made clothes hit up your local second-hand store for some name brand quality clothes for the same price or less
pre thrifting checklist
- check the site for daily deals or coupons
- check for the color or item that has an extra discount on it
- what could you use around the house

talk soon,
Thrifting is a new buzz word that has been going on for a few years now. People have been moving away from the mall and chain stores. The recession of 2008 brought on a new trend, the thrift store. I’ve been thrifting for a little over 2 years now and have never been disappointed with finding amazing items.
