• There are many things that make thrift stores
  awesome, and if youve never shopped in one
  before, youve got a whole heap of benefits to
  gain!
• Whether youre seeking to shop in a more
  sustainable way, want to help make a difference
  in your local community, or simply need to buy
  some clothes or household items on a tight
  budget, these reasons and many more listed below,
  make thrift stores incredible
• 1. You can dress your kids for less
• We all know how fast kids grow out of their
  clothes, but by visiting your local thrift store,
  you can update their wardrobe for less. In fact,
  most pieces at Goodwill cost less than 10,
  including name brand items.

• 2. Thrift store shopping gives you the freedom to
  experiment
• With clothes at such affordable prices
  (considering the great condition theyre in), you
  can afford to try out new styles and colors that
  you might not purchase for full price.
• 3. You can find incredible items at thrift
  stores!
• Thrift stores have always had a reputation for
  simply selling other peoples cast offs, or items
  they would otherwise have thrown away, but
  nowadays, thrift stores are chock full of really
  great products that have all been reviewed and
  thoroughly assessed before being placed on the
  shelves. Ask anyone who thrifts and theyll be
  more than happy to tell you all about the
  incredible items and deals theyve found at
  thrift stores.

• 4. Buying clothes in a thrift store enables you
  to be unique
• Who wants to be seen wearing what someone else on
  the street is wearing? Affordable used clothes in
  thrift stores give you the chance to develop your
  uniqueness, and to wear clothes that make you
  stand out from the crowd for all the right
  reasons.
• 5. Dig deep, and who knows what treasures you
  might find!
• Because there are still plenty of people who
  dont shop at thrift stores, if you keep going
  back to your local store, its inevitable that
  one day youll find a true gem and be able to get
  your hands on it before anyone else does!

• 6. Trailing salespeople are not a thing in thrift
  stores
• Many of us hate being trailed around the store by
  a sales-hungry associate, following our every
  move in search of a commission, and generally not
  giving us the freedom to shop. Thrift stores
  dont have such people working in them, and boy
  is that a welcome relief!
• 7. You can find more than just clothes in a
  thrift store
• There are so many different things you can buy in
  a thrift store. From clothes to home décor to
  toys, thrift stores have it all. Savvy shoppers
  know that you can dress yourself, and decorate
  your home from a thrift store, for so much less
  than you would by shopping in superstores.

• 8. Thrift store shopping discourages hoarding
• Because youve spent less on an item of clothing
  at a thrift store, once youre done with it,
  theres less incentive to hold on to it you can
  simply donate it back again, and keep your closet
  clutter free.
• 9. By supporting your local thrift store, youre
  supporting your local community
• The majority of thrift stores, including
  Goodwill, support their local communities and
  other non-profit organizations. Every time you
  shop in one, youre giving back (no matter how
  small) to a community member in need.
