Thrift Shoping Tips and Tricks :)

Hey guys long time no post!
I have been meaning to put up some projects. I have done them it is just writing the post lol. But for today i want to share some tips about thrift shopping.

 So my mom likes to tell me i have an eye for things. We go the DI, or Good Will and I find things. I have found a lot of pieces to my dish set that my mom gave me so that has doubled in size since she gave it to me! I have found some really good craft projects there too. Among other finds. Her are the Tips:

1. Expect the unexpected! I like to go into these stores with no expectations. Then when I do find something I am excited.
2.Don't be too picky. If you are too picky while looking and want something perfect. You are at the wrong store. Things will be bruised and scratched. That is okay you can wither fix it or just say no if it is not worth it.
3.Clothes.... Some types of clothes you can buy and some you shouldn't buy used. Underwear is a big no ( Obviously) but there are a lot that you can buy and update or just wear as is. I once found a new Nike hoodie for $5. As always try things on. * Extra tip for the lady's* go on your Period... I know weird but i have taken this piece of advice  and have found some really good fitting pants. You are bloated and will be bigger. Most of us are on our monthly for a week. That can be pretty uncomfortable if you get some too small.
4.  Misc.. For example I found a couple of cheap brand new decor items and some used. I am trying to but a little girl into mine and my boyfriends place. This was an easy way.
Look at DvDs they are becoming more popular at thrift stores especially since Bluray came out. ( Make Sure To check the disk before buying)
Books. You can find some of your favorite books for really cheap! Love finding the books that i read in high school there nd read them again.

These are just some tips off of the top of my head. More will come :) Have a good summer everyone!
