For National Thrift Shop Day and any day, expeditions to secondhand stores save you money, divert items from the waste stream and sometimes support a local business or charity. Here’s how you can search thrift stores like a pro:
An average American throws out 60-80 pounds of used clothing in a lifetime. Add up all the people tossing the items they’re tired of and we’re talking many lifetimes of polluting degradation in a landfill. The U.S. alone sends about 21 billion pounds of textile waste to landfills every year.
For Wednesday’s National Thrift Shop Day, a calendar event that’s meant to turn attention on the often charitable linkages of thrift stores, we’re reminded that well-planned expeditions to local thrift or secondhand stores are an economical, creative way to approach fashion and home goods. Most especially for younger generations the score of a landfill-friendly, self-styled thrifted outfit is a badge of honor. In fact, the generation born between the years 1997 and 2012, called Gen Z, shops the most at thrift stores, the online resale platform Thredup says in a report.
“They want to be independent. They want to save the planet. They want to save money — and make money. And they want to do it all in a cute outfit that costs less than $10,” she adds. For sure, making the most of a thrift store search in order to cut down on frustration and avoid buying more than what you set out for is an acquired practice. On this National Thrift Shop Day, here’s what the pros share:Try a home swap. You’ll skip Airbnb and hotel costs and vacation like you’re a local.
