BeautyBehaved Tips & Tricks: thrifting

since i recently went thrifting i found it relevent for me to finally put up my tips & tricks of thrift.

  • you can find all the local thrift stores through this site: thethriftshopper
  • be open minded, yes some things will be dirty, but the majority of items arent
  • i typically find brand name clothing at great prices of course
  • you can find vintage jewlery, scarves, sunglasses, purses, etc
  • you can find nice homegoods such as furniture, dishes, electronics, etc
  • you can find sports equipment, baby needs, dvds, cds, books etc
  • when i go i look through every rack to make sure i see everything
  • most places have half price days or tag deals, i suggest finding out when they have them
  • you can get a discount for having a student i.d or being a senior citizen
i recommend visiting your local thrift shops, you never know what you might find, and its super fun i promise(:

  1. I love drifting, I have found so many great books and dvds and clothes. My suggestion is that if you're a petite girl, you can sometimes found great stuff from kids section. I once found this really cute dress and you can't tell it's a kids size. :)
