Thrift Shopping


The rapper Macklemore sings about going thrift shopping in his popular song “Thrift Shop”. The rapper states that “one man’s trash, that’s another man’s come up”, which is basically what a thrift shop is all about. This is the beauty of thrift shops, what someone may classify as trash someone else might see it as unique or valueable.
Some people may have negative views on thrift shops but in fact you can find decent things at thrift shops. Macklemore sings about searching through the shop to find bargains. If you really search through a thrift shop you can find decent things at a very reasonable price.

As far as findings at a thrift shop you can find anything from clothing to decorations for your home. For clothing items you can find shirt, dresses, pants, hats, and jewelry. Some thrift shops have prom dresses at a low price that are in good shape. Prom dresses are a low price are hard to find today but are easy to find in a thrift shop. For decorations you can find vases, decorative signs, and other household items. You may also be able to find various designer items at thrift shops for extremely low prices compared to what they once were sold at.

Thrift shops aren’t hard to find either. If you look around your local area you will be able to find at least one thrift shop. The amount of thrift shops makes thrift shops all the more convient. Some of the thrift shops in our area are Second Helpings, Thirds, Savers, Ann's Atic, and Salvation Army.
