* Show that inspired this post: The Thrift Store Shopping Strategies show with Chele at Moms Love Shopping. Go have a listen if you haven’t already.
* 100 words: Chele was kind enough to ask me to talk about how to save even more when you shop at thrift stores. A few things we talked about on the show:
- Print out coupons from the thrift store’s websites and use their loyalty cards if applicable
- Go regularly – it’s feast or famine with thrift store shopping
- Get to know management – they’ll sometimes clue you in on upcoming sales
- Learn the system – know the schedule of reduced prices and weekly/daily specials
- Give haggling a shot – you could always pretend you don’t speak English and see what happens. LOL!
- Check your ick factor – if you can borrow library books (that many people have touched), you can shop at thrift stores. Wash things first and use good common sense. Check for toy and other baby product recalls or just avoid those items.
