6 Reasons to Shop at Thrift Stores

1. It’s cheap. I’ve gotten 3 pairs of pants, 5 shirts, a sweater, and a nice summer dress for under $50.
2. The goods are in better condition than you might think. I’ve found once-worn sweaters and seen designer bags in thrift stores. Many of the clothes come from middle-class homes where people can afford to toss aside barely-worn clothes for the newest trend - which works out well for you, as a thrift store shopper.
3. You’ll find things there that you can’t find anywhere else. When I think of great finds, I think of records (which I love, by the way), but it applies to vintage jewelry, unique t-shirts, and cool jackets, too.
4. It’s environmentally-friendly. By reusing existing items, you’re decreasing the demand - and therefore production. Fewer resources are burned creating new goods and you saved the awesome t-shirt you just bought from becoming garbage.
5. You’re supporting non-profit organizations doing good work. Within 10 miles of my home, there are thrift stores whose proceeds go to helping disadvantaged people find jobs (Goodwill), preventing blindness (Prevention of Blindness), and funding religious organizations and churches.
6. It’s fun. If you have bargain-hunting tendencies, thrift stores might be a little piece of heaven for you. I love finding a good deal and knowing that if I’d bought that sweater new, it would’ve cost five times as much.

Thrift store shopping has become a way of life for Americans. With the economy struggling, lost jobs and pay cuts families have to look for ways to cut the family budget.

Thrift stores and dollar stores are a great way to buy cheap and get good products, not only for the family but, for the on line entrepreneur as well. So when your out and about looking for ways to beef up your inventory don't pass up that thrift store, Goodwill, or even a Walmart or Kmart. I hope this brief reminder helps someone today!
