Heading to the Thrift Stores Today

United States
March 9, 2022 9:57am CST
I am so excited: I am heading out to the thrift stores today. I used to go one day each week and hit 3 to 4 thrift stores each time, buying clothing and shoes to resell on eBay. Once Covid hit, I dropped that down to only one time per month. I was trying to get back into it on a regular basis but my husband doesn't like all of the clutter, so I only do it once or twice a month. I also told a friend of mine who is a single mom that I will try to find some clothing for her baby who is in a size 4T. Since I don't have any grandchildren yet, this should be fun. I love hunting for bargains so I am excited about my adventure today. Do you like to shop at thrift stores?

I've never been to one. I always say I'm going to check one out because supposedly you can get some good cooking stuff in them but I have never gone.

@NJChicaa Do you mean items like pots and pans, etc. for cooking? Yes, there are lots of things like that in thrift stores.

I heard you can make decent money reselling things through Amazon like that. I keep thinking about checking it out but then I'm like...am I too lazy to do this regularly?

I enjoy going to thrift stores and usually manage to come home with a few bargains. I hope you do the same.

I hate having to go into shops and actually do shopping. You have far more stamina than I!

I like going to thift stores and finding a bargain. I have found anymore, you can't find real good bargains at a lot of the thift stores. I don't know what they base their prices on, but I've seen some things that the price was high enough that you could buy it new for just a few more dollars. I like to go and look at books and sometimes clothing.

I totally cut out thrift shopping these past couple years - yah, because of covid. I started going again last fall, but stopped as winter approached since covid was surging again. But now I am going again, but not in full force like I used to. I can relate to your excitement - go get those super bargains today!

I wish you could buy a lot of stuff from thrift stores and hope you could sell them all too.
