The best time to shop at thrift stores

If there's one time of the year that's the absolute best to shop at thrift stores, it is RIGHT NOW!!

Why? I'll give you a simple reason -- year-end tax donations.

That's right. Now is the time when most folks are cleaning out their closets and donating to local charities and thrift stores. I know I am -- trying to make that Dec. 31 deadline for tax contributions for 2014. 

Which means that if you are a thrifter, get ready to see fab finds from the Thrift GAWDS! You'll see good stuff now through after the first of the year as thrift stores begin to put donated merchandise out on the floor. So don't forgot to stop by a thrift store -- or three -- over the next week or so.

I've even begun to notice more stuff out in my local thrift stores  in Metro Atlanta -- and more folks driving up with donations. Happy thrifting!!! 


 

Thrifting in FLA .... again

Thrifting isn't just something I do; it's a passion.

I get my thrift on even while on vacation in Panama City Beach, Fla. My hubby just shakes his head and drives.

No thrift store is the same and, no matter how dumpy they tend to look from the outside, this Bargainista usually finds something. I was pleased to find two area Goodwills in PCB had quite a few brand new items from Target (Altuzarra) but not my size (welp).

These stores are much smaller than ATL, but there's always SOMETHING. 

Pictures to come soon. 


I've already hit up several thrift stores in Panama City Beach over the last few days. I have checked a few things off my thrift wish list -- an army jacket for, get this, $5 (it was discounted from $10) and a pair of lovely Bandolino snakeskin boots (they are a bit snug and I may sell them, but maybe not).


Salvation Army is on my thrift wish list this Christmas Eve. Can't wait to see what I'll find.
