Thrift store shopping·      Advantageso   Safeo   Regular hourso   Get to know the Manager—make a deal. Not long ago, I bought 5 pieces.o   No Pressureo   They Help Load·      Inspecto   Low quality—be prepared for extra worko   Watch for damageo   Missing hardware—be creative with other items that might matcho   I don’t like that they often store the pieces on their ends and use hand carts to move them aroundo   Be sure to check for smells, odors, stains, water damageo   Always look at the back.·      Tipso   I often see the prices set but the idea in retail is to list it high so there’s profit on sale days so…. Wait for the days when furniture is on saleo   Caution—there’s a mental/internal urge to buy. Discipline yourself—go often and you’ll get better at it over time.o   Follow them on social mediao   Keep an eye on the competition in the store—it happens—have a good chat but don’t get in the wayo   Look at the tags for names of who is buying —might be able to meet others in your communityo   Come prepared to load a piece of furnitureo   Walk around 2–3 times.Support the Show.
