Secondhand shops are becoming very popular! If you know some of the basics you can be a better bargain hunter! First and foremost, it makes sense that you will get better quality if you shop in wealthier neighborhoods because most donations are local.. To find stores go to The Thrift Shopper and enter your zip code. Shop early in the week because most people donate on weekends. A consignment shop is similar but different! They give a percentage of the sale back to the owner so you can buy and sell there. To find more info go to consignmentshops.com. It’s worth taking the time at either type of shop because you can get great vintage items or make a little spending cash!
