Not All Thrift Stores Are Created Equal: My Top Thrifting Tips
One of the questions I get asked most often is: “How do you find so many good things at the thrift store?” And my answer always starts the same way—not all thrift stores are created equal.
In today’s post, I’m sharing the simple tips I’ve learned over the years that help me find joy and inspiration while thrifting—whether I come home with a basket full of treasures or just fresh ideas for a future DIY. From shopping around to finding “your store,” to chatting with volunteers and staying open-minded, these are the tried-and-true ways I make the most of every thrifting adventure.
If you love the charm of vintage pieces and the thrill of a good find, I hope this encourages you to head out with curiosity, creativity, and patience. Because sometimes, the real treasure isn’t what you bring home—it’s the inspiration you gather along the way.
