Shopping At A Thrift Store Everett WA

By Jaclyn Hurley


People can be hesitant when it comes to shopping at a thrift store Everett WA. There is the fear that spending less money will inevitably mean less quality. However if you are prepared to shop around this does not necessarily have to be the case and you can find some excellent bargains that represent fantastic value for money.

When people hear the term thrift store they generally associate it with low cost items. However this does not necessarily have to mean they are old or of poor quality. People from a variety of backgrounds can donate items so it is possible to find some amazing bargains by searching around stores.

The quality of donations can vary. As with any type of store this can often depend on the local area. In some cases the people who receive items may not necessarily realise the value of the items they are selling and you could end up getting a massive bargain that you would be unlikely to find elsewhere.

Looking at a layout of a store is useful as you can get to know whether or not things are in a specific order or placed at random. Ideally there should be a section where you can get toys or DVDs and another section where you can find clothes or glassware. This can save time as you ignore the items you are not interested in and go straight to the ones that you want.

Another thing to take note is opening hours. For people who do shift work or are self employed there is the additional benefit of being able to be more flexible in terms of when they can visit. However if you do work in an office there are always lunch breaks or visiting during the weekend.

It is also worth finding out when employees hold items. Typically people tend to donate their items at the weekend and so this is when items will be priced and labelled before they are put on sale. This often means that the newest items are available on a Monday so this is often a good time if you want to find the newest possible items available for sale in the store.

When you look at items you should check over them carefully. You have to consider whether or not the lower cost is worth any damage on the items. As with any other type of store you should also talk to employees to find out what kind of refunds or exchanges they offer. They ought to be willing to explain what your rights are in this regard so you are aware before you part with any money. They can also say when they tend to receive donated items so you can get in there first when looking for the newest items!

There are likely to be a number of thrift stores available in your local area. Ideally you should go to a number of different ones as some are likely to specialise in some items more than others. It is also recommended that you talk to people who visit stores in order to see where they would recommend as well as checking online for more tips and information from regular thrift store customers in order to get up to the minute advice on the best bargains!
