When it comes to shopping for things like clothes, cars, electronics and more, oftentimes and unfortunately, the go-to tends to be buying them new. It’s convenient to go to a big store and pick up these items. But what is the cost?
Save your money.
Whether you’re shopping for clothes, furniture, electronics, textile, or almost anything, you’ll be able to find quality items at lower prices than if you bought them brand new. You can also find name-brand clothing, shoes, and more for a fraction of the cost. Who doesn’t want to get designer items at a discount? As an added bonus, by spending less, your dollar goes further.
Eco-friendliness
When you buy used you’re giving those items a second life and saving them from being thrown out. Too often people think of waste reduction and recycling in terms of bottles, cans, and plastics when the reality is our wardrobes and other household items are big contributors to what ends up in the trash.
Supporting local businesses.
Whether you’re buying from a thrift store, consignment shop, vintage store, your neighbor who posted secondhand goods on social media, or a pop-up market down the street, the dollars you spend stay in the neighborhood and aren’t off to the nearest big-box store’s headquarters.
Finding unique items.
Half of the fun of thrift shopping, browsing consignment shops, or venturing into a vintage store is the thrill of the hunt. Whether you’re searching for a new outfit to wear for date night, a fun piece of furniture for your house, your next must-read book, or games for your kids, you’ll find unique, sometimes hard-to-find items.
