Why has thrifting become so popular? Some of the answers may surprise you.​​​

​​

Saves money

Thrifting is a budget-friendly way to update a wardrobe or home decor, especially when sizes change or you're exploring new colors and styles. It also allows you to treat yourself without overspending.

​

Good for the environment

It takes about 400 gallons of water to grow enough cotton for a single t-shirt, and about 1,800 gallons for a pair of jeans, so thrifting supports water conservation in a big way. By choosing used goods, consumers also help reduce the need for new manufacturing, which in turn lowers pollution from factories and delivery vehicles—leading to cleaner air.

​

Helps the community

Thrifting offers affordable access to everyday essentials, helping families stretch their budgets. Many thrift stores also give back by supporting local programs in the community.​

 

Thrill of the hunt

Thrift stores are full of hidden treasures. Everything from designer brands and antiques to like new home décor - all at affordable prices. Every visit is like a treasure hunt!
