If the stigma of thrifting gets to you, remember, it’s not “used”, it’s “vintage”. Whatever is left unclaimed at the end of the evening gets donated. Pair those discount price tags with a coupon or sale to get the most bang for your buck. Spend the evening trying on eachothers’ discards. It’s a win-win-win. Check out Sample Sales.

Anything you now longer want that is still wearable and in reasonable condition can be donated to thrift stores. Garments that are in good condition, especially well-known or high-end labels, could be donated or sold to secondhand clothing stores or through eBay or other online sites.

I love a bargain. If you are in more of a hurry, find a thrift store instead. But, find one in a high end neighborhood, one where the store sorts through the donations to select only the best. In my years as a garage saler, I’ve had lots of fun, and found some great bargains – many of which I still own and enjoy.

Thrift : I regularly stop by my favorite local thrift store and find crazy bargains. If I don’t wear something within a season, I donate it–unless it is an occasional use type of piece like the dressy shoes above. All of which I regularly find at the thrift store. Crew, Gap, and Limited.
