You might uncover some garments that have seen better days and should probably have been recycled some time ago. Anything you now longer want that is still wearable and in reasonable condition can be donated to thrift stores. You probably will find clothes that you had forgotten you even had; I certainly did!

Thrift shopping is making a comeback and we are loving it! That being said, in-person thrift stores aren’t always ideal.
