1. Go on a regular basis. When you visit a thriftstore, ask when they "restock" or get new merchandise. Make sure to visit on these days (duh). But also, visit on the off days. That is when noone else will be there and how else can you expect to snatch something before someone else does...
2. Make a list of what you NEED and what you WANT...that way you don't get sidetracked as one easily does
3. Just because there is a pile on sale for $1.00 does NOT mean you need or have to buy it
4. Be ready to try on clothes and dress accordingly. One often passes up a good item because they are too lazy or don't feel like changing to try it on
5. Spend time, not just money. Thrifting can be tedious and can take up a lot of time so be ready to spend it. Just because you are shopping all does not mean you have to buy. The thrifting experience itself will benefit you!
6. Thrifting doesn't mean CHEAP. It means "inexpensive". Don't forget about the quality of clothing. If your mother wouldn't approve of the clothing, sewing, or fabric quality, don't spend your money on it!
7. KNOW the prices. Before you set out on your thrifting adventure, know how much the items on your wants and needs list usually costs so you can make comparisons
