Shopping At Thrift Stores In PA

By Frank Mitchell


After the Great Recession, many people started shopping at thrift stores in order to save money on clothes and other items that they needed. Thrift stores in PA offer a variety of goods, such as clothes, dishes and even furniture. Many people claim that they not only save money but they also enjoy the experience of searching through the shop for good bargains.

These shops sell a wide range of goods and not merely clothes. Because of this, they are a great place for college students and young people to shop. People who are just starting out in an apartment often do not have a lot of money to spare. Therefore, it is a good place to search for cheap appliances, furniture, dishes and cutlery. You can even find bedding there. It is possible to fill a college dorm or apartment with thrift shop goods without spending a load of money.

If you are an avid collector, you should try visiting thrift shops to add to your collection. Whether you collect games, art, music or figurines, it is very likely that you will find something at a reasonable price that is a bargain for a collector. Some of these items are so rare that they cannot be found anywhere else.

One great way to save even more money at these stores is to shop there when they have grab bag days. Grab bag days is when the shop basically bags up random items in a bag that customers can purchase for a dollar or two. Sometimes, the bags are clear, and they may contain small toys or other trinkets, so people can see what they are buying. In many cases, you cannot see what is inside the bag until after you buy it, which makes the shopping experience more interesting and fun.

Of course, most of these stores receive their products as donations from people in the community. However, not all of their items are used or old. Some of the shops actually receive overstock items from larger retailers that were not sold. Although some of these clothes may be from last season, they are still new and unworn, and are cheaper then what the big retailer originally sold it for.

Because most of these shops clean their clothes when they receive them, you do not have to worry about buying clothes with dirt and mold on them. However, if you are still skeptical, you can wash the clothes at home yourself. This way, you can be sure they are clean before you wear them.

These places are also a literal treasure trove for the avid shopper. If you have a keen eye and a knowledge of antiques, you may find something of value that has been donated or other shoppers have overlooked. This is a great way to search for antiques without paying the high costs that collectors frequently do.

Another reason why they are good places to shop is because buying second-hand goods is very eco-friendly. When you purchase donated thrift goods, you are purchasing items that are being recycled and reused. This ensures that they do not get tossed out in the trash and fill up more landfills. So you have the benefit of saving the environment as well as saving your dollars.
