2. Go Often
This is probably the best thing to do if you want to score big at thrift stores. On any given day you might find absolutely nothing that you want or need. If you wait a few months and go again and it’s another strike out day, of course you’re going to be discouraged and think you’ll never find anything at thrift stores. However, if you go very often, like once a week, you’re more likely to find great items. I know that sounds like a lot of trips, but every time you go you don’t have to spend hours there. If you’re in a rush, just run inside, take a quick glance as you walk through the store, and leave. I have found some awesome items while thrifting on a quick run.
