Start by understanding thrifting fundamentals: it's sustainable shopping at secondhand stores like Goodwill or Savers for clothes, decor, and more. Use Google Maps to find local thrift stores, read reviews on Yelp or Google, and note their specialties (e.g., clothing vs. furniture). Check social media for sales days. Create a short wish list of 3-5 items like 'wool sweater' or 'vintage vase' based on your wardrobe needs. Review your closet to know sizes, colors, and gaps.
Pro Tip: Visit stores' websites for donation days offering shopper discounts.
