As we head into 2021, we have all
become more aware of the horrific
mess the ‘take, make and waste’
approach of production has created
and the need to shift from a linear
disposable economy to one that
reuses the resources most cleanly and
effectively.
Whether it is billions of tossed plastic
cups or discarded clothes, the exact
figures do not matter anymore.
Our planet is choking on trash, not to
mention the greenhouse gas
emissions and contaminated water.
We can all participate in the reuse
movement by learning the art of thrift
store shopping.
Many are giving pre-loved items a
second chance at life, and for excellent
reasons.
Not only can great quality pieces be
found for too-good prices, but by
buying second-hand items, we are
helping keep still-wearable items out
of the landfill and reduce wastes
caused by new productions.
To help you get the most out of your
thrifting adventure, here are some
tips and tricks:
1. Create A Plan Using Your
Smartphone
It is very helpful if you have a list of
what you will look for based on what
you already own. This will help keep
you focused on your budget.
Also, save photos of fashionable items
and inspiration on your phone for a
guide.
This will make it easier for thrift shop
clerks to help you locate specific items
or let you know if they have
something similar on their racks.
2. Sell Your Pre-Loved Items First
One good way to stick to your budget
is to look for a thrift store that not
only sells pre-loved items but also
buys them.
Whether you want to get extra cash or
simply clean out your wardrobe
before adding new purchases, these
shops are excellent for trading-in the
items you no longer want or need.
You can also start shopping while the
staff inspects and prices-out your
inventory. You can also sell clothing
and accessories online and donate
some.
3. Dress Properly
Depending on your location, most
second-hand shops do not have
fitting rooms.
To remedy this, wear a tight-fitting
and comfortable top and leggings so it
will be easy for you to try things on
just about anywhere in the store.
It is not recommended to get
something without making sure it is a
good fit because most thrift shops do
not allow returns or refunds.
You may also spend hours in a thrift
store so you will really need
comfortable clothing and shoes. A
crossbody bag is also recommended
since your hands will be busy
browsing many racks.
4. Shop with Cash Only
You will surely stumble upon
beautiful pieces that are unique, and it
is very easy to fall into traps thinking
that they are worth buying because
they are inexpensive.
To stay on budget and avoid impulse
buys, bring only what you need in
cash when thrifting. Make sure that
they are a perfect fit to your current
wardrobe.
5. Save Time by Checking the
Aisles
Rummaging through several piles
and racks of clothes is not for
everyone. Do not waste time and miss
out on potential treasures. Learn how
to do a quick scan.
Based on what you are looking for and
your preferred designs and colors.
Enter the shop and scan every rack for
pieces that stand out and catch your
attention.
If it did not attract you at first sight,
forget about it. This requires focus and
is a skill you will develop over time.
6. Tailor Your Thrift Store Finds
Whether it is brand-new or second-
hand, every item in your closet should
fit you perfectly.
Pre-loved items may need alterations.
Simple modifications such as
hemming can be done at home using a
comprehensive instructional guide.
You may also need to take your items
to the dry cleaners. For more intricate
customization, consult a tailor.
7. Be Nice with the Staff
Once you find a thrift store that fits
your style and budget, make friends
with their clerks.
They can help you while shopping.
They can give you valuable
information such as when new
deliveries are in and the dates of sale.
You never know what you might see
in thrift stores, but with these tactics,
it is sure to be worth it!
