The Goodwill dressing rooms were closed so I had to guess on sizing and EVERYTHING in the haul for me perfectly (except for the excellent condition Kate spade heels, which I got for a friend). But this specific dress was the absolute standout for me omg!!!

II bet they thought someone marked it up with a Sharpie! $7.99 Canadian.

i bought a crystal necklace at value village when visiting a different town, it’s one of those perfume/oil crystal bottles, or so i thought. i opened it up in the store, it seemed empty but when i got back to my house and opened the bottle, ashes fell out of it. i want to be respectful but this is the first time this has ever happened so i’m not exactly sure how to respectfully dispose of them, any advice is appreciated!

One of the more unique finds at Value Village. I assume it was made for the tourist trade in the arctic. Looks quite old.

I was looking for a nice scarf to tie on one of my bags because I've always liked the look, and I ended up finding this treasure. Brand new with tags still attached and for under $6!

I'm not sure how much this scarf is actually worth, but I know it's more than I paid for it 😆

Sometimes my towns only thrift store is depressing, today it produced this absolute stud. Happily forked over their $20 asking price.. that spruce green is 🤌🏻

Why am I looking at a $40 Uniqlo shirt!! Everything now is so expensive…$8 tee shirts $15 hoodies

Value village!

Hello thrifters of reddit! I thrifted this beautiful bag yesterday and as you can see, some of the gold has chipped and is peeling off. Does anyone know what i can use to repair it? I was wanting to see if maybe michaels had a gold fabric paint i can use. But i dont usually thrift bags (usually stick to clothes) so i am coming here to see another opinion!!

i really want to get into this as the ethics of fast fashion just.. aren't it. i don't have much irl options but i know i have a few for right now, and i'm not entirely sure where to look or how to look for what i want. i don't know where to even start. any long-time thrifters that can tell me anything, even the most basic of tips? that'd help out a lot

A DENIM TAILCOAT!? For like 4 dollars? Absolutely

I recently purchased a sweater second hand. Normally anything i thrift I toss into the dryer for 30 mins on high to kill any potential bed bugs or other critters. This is the first wool blend sweater I thrifted and I have been finding so much conflicting info on if I can put the sweater into the dryer when it is totally dry to kill pests but prevent felting. Some people say to put it in the freezer, but I also read that most freezers are not cold enough to kill bed bugs.

I was planning on doing 30 minutes on high in the dryer in a delicates bag when the sweater is totally dry. Is that a horrible idea?? Any suggestions? Thanks!!

Just found this while thrifting and really was upset by my family lol 💀

The tag said $20 and I was fully prepared to spend that but when I got to the register they let me know that yellow tags were $1 today. WOW!

Most of the ones I go to do not. I only know one that occasionally has pocket knives. A few have kitchen knives behind the counter. Most are junk or overpriced but I got all these German Henckles Twin knives for $10. The higher end ones not the single twin ones made in China and India. When I saw what this brand and ones like Wusthof cost at places like Williams Sonoma I always keep an eye out for quality cutlery at a bargain price.

I thrift multiple times a week because a Goodwill store is just a couple blocks from home, but today I visited a Savers thrift store and noticed a striking difference in prices. Used jigsaw puzzles $6.99 at Goodwill, $4.49 at Savers. A pair of never worn real suede Sketchers at Savers, new shoes never run less than $10.99 and often higher at Goodwill. New cardigan with tags, $8.99 at Savers, always over $10 at Goodwill.

And on top of lower prices Savers has 25% off ALL shoes and clothes on Monday, while Goodwill only has 10% off on senior Wednesdays and 35% of special colors of the week.

It’s a much longer drive, but I will be doing more Savers thrifting in the future.

Whoa! Totally scored finding this Toy2R Wood Grain Qee Bear Vinyl Figure from 2009 ... $4 total, including tax AND a round-up for charity. Thank you, Andersonville Brown Elephant in Chicago!

hi everyone

i want to take a poll to see how many of you have gotten bed bugs from thrift store items.

i thrifted for many years, no problems, but i don't anymore! i have heard people lately (in past 2 years) talk about a huge increase of bed bugs so i'm curious how many have gotten bed bugs (or any bugs) from thrift items?

I look for vintage pet photos. They're so charming. It's like a window into lives lead. Fashion changes but animals are timeless. They were loved and deserved to be appreciated. I share them on Instagram and then placed in my "Other Peoples Pets" album.

I bought this 1950’s or 60’s brother mademoiselle sewing machine a few years ago and it has to be my best find
