Thrift Stores

Why spend a fortune at expensive high-end stores when you can buy a bunch of vintage (and even brand-new) pieces at your local thrift store?

THRIFT HAUL BLOG POST: This past Saturday, Eric and I went to Syracuse to visit not 1, not 2, not 3, but 4 Thrifty Shopper stores to take advantage of their 50% off sale! Although it was a little crazy at times and we had to wait in line for over 30 minutes at one of the stores, I would say that it was definitely worth the drive. I bought a TON of stuff and spent under $70 for all of it! If you are interested in my massive haul, be sure to check out my stories and visit today’s blog post! . . . Do your thrift stores have sales? If so, how often? Do you ever check them out?? . . . #thrifted #thrifthaul #thrifting #thriftstorehaul #thriftstorefinds #ishopthrifty #thriftyshopper #resellerlife #reseller #resellersquad #poshmark #poshmarkapp #poshmarkseller #poshmarktips #poshmarkstyle #poshmarkbusiness #girlboss #entrepreneurlife

Regular Donations

Don’t simply ditch the clothes you no longer need. Check if you know someone who might like them, and donate them if that’s not the case.

Second Life

Unfortunately, many charities struggle selling donated clothes, because they’re not in such great shape. If you think some of your items are completely useless, use them as dish rags and cleaning cloths instead of donating them.

Time to Recycle

If you can’t think of a way of repurposing your clothes, recycling is always an option. You can even drop them at your local H&M and receive a discount card for 15% off your next purchase.

Sustainable Brands

When you’re buying new clothes, try to support sustainable brands who embrace eco-friendly approaches in their production process.
