| - My grandma was a thrifty person, and her ways has rubbed off quite a lot on me. That being said I know a lot about spending time in thrift stores and finding the treasures within.
When going to Value Village make sure you have hours to spend there. If you're anything like I am, you'll love looking at everything. Another good thing to do is set yourself up with a budget, so you know exactly how much you want to spend, because you might find a lot.
The first thing to check out is the decorations, because houses can always use added eccentric flare. Don't become a crazy collectable hoarder though, that's a bit scary. The good thing about thrift store finds is that you can always re-thrift them when they no longer appeal to you. Make sure to check out the artwork too, you never know. If cut for time skip everything and go to the t-shirt aisles. You can always altar, sew, and customize a tee. Don't just limit to the womens section, check out the mens tees as well.
Other tips: Always take note of the prices, because some items are overpriced.
Check the clothing articles for any rips, stains and unbearable things.
Don't buy anything that smells extremely gross, you might not be able to get the smell out just by washing it.
