12 Reasons to Go Thrifting This Month
Each year, National Thrift Shop Day is celebrated on Aug. 17. It’s a day for consumers to shop small, find great bargains, and support local businesses and a great cause. Almost every town has a secondhand shop, thrift store or consignment shop. Almost always, those stores are supporting a great cause.
The benefits of shopping at a thrift shop go beyond getting a great bargain, even though that’s a great reason to spend the day thrifting for a hidden treasure. Typically, items for sale in the thrift shops are donated by customers who are cleaning out their closets, downsizing, moving or just looking to declutter their homes. It’s said that one man’s trash is another man’s treasure; that rings true in the world of thrifting.
