Elder Sister,
I’m so excited to get back into thrift shopping! I took a bit of a break last year because, to be honest, I just wasn’t finding much good stuff when I went to thrift stores. As thrift stores became more popular, there wasn’t much left to find in my neighborhood. So I took a bit of a break and during that time I discovered my love for estate sales. In fact, I recently finished an estate sale one Saturday morning and decided to stop by Goodwill. I’ve been very proactive about thrift shopping again this new year and my first thrift shop visit of the year was very productive.
The end of the year and beginning of the year are said to be the best times to save money as many people are clearing out their homes for tax season, and I couldn’t believe how full my shelves were. I found a lot! Additionally, my interest in estate sales has led me to broaden my thrift store shopping beyond accessories and clothing, to include household items like glassware and crockery.
As I venture into thrift stores again, I thought it would be helpful to share some of the most common things you can find at thrift stores. And best of all, it’s not just clothing. everyone You can find something.

Accessories are my second favorite thing to find at thrift stores. You can find great costume jewelry, silk scarves, hats, and other high-quality items at thrift stores.
