I’ve shared on many occasions that my clothes are about 90% thrifted. However, I’m realizing that I’ve never actually shared my thrifting method! So, today I’m taking you along with me while I do some clothes thrift shopping, and sharing my thrifting method as we go.

I love thrifting because for so many reasons. For one, I just think that it’s more fun! I enjoy the process of searching for some really great fines in a myriad of clothes. Even more importantly, buying your clothes second-hand is the most sustainable, responsible, and cost-effective way to buy clothes.

There are so many different style varieties that you can find when you’re thrift shopping. Whether you’re into something vintage, youthful, or anything in-between, there’s a thrift spot for you. You also have far more options than whatever the fast fashion industry is pushing out.

My Thrifting Method

Even if an item was purchased from an unsustainable store originally, I feel totally okay with buying that same item second-hand and giving it a longer lifespan.

And then, of course, there’s just the money factor. You can buy a thrifted item, even one that still has the tags, and spend a fraction of what it would have cost new.

This is just one method I save money but I have 19 other ways I save money on a regular basis.

Online Options:
