Updated: Jun 22

I'm really into thrifting—it's one of my favorite ways to relax and unwind. Like I mentioned before, my husband and I are thinking about starting a side hustle reselling vintage clothes. Honestly, ever since we talked about it, I've been glued to the internet hunting for treasures. Here are some tips and tricks for both new and experienced shoppers.

1. Go In with a Plan (But Stay Open-Minded)

Have a loose wish list, like denim or home decor, and check Pinterest for inspiration. Be open to unexpected finds!


2. Timing is Everything

Visit thrift stores on weekdays for the best finds when new stock arrives. Inquire about restock days and consider shopping during seasonal changes when donations increase.


3. Check Quality & Labels

Fabric, fabric, fabric! Choose durable options to prevent rapid wear and tear.


4. Be Innovative & Style Wisely

Thrifted finds = endless possibilities!


5. Exercise Patience & Enjoy Yourself

Thrifting is an exploration, not a quick task. Explore every section—valuable items may be misplaced.
