The thrift gods have smiled upon me this day

All for sub $50 from a thrift in upstate NY

Edited to say I just looked up the prices on everything I got, including a black shawl from Lissé I picked up

… it’s cashmere and goes for $400+ 😶‍🌫️
The blue one is 1990s Vintage Nienhaus & Lotz, and the organza top is from Moresca Costumes

Am I the only one who hates Goodwill's clothing arrangements where they mix all the sizes and have everything sorted by shade of color? Then they put so many on the racks where it impossible to see the sizes? and impossible to put back once you take it out to look at? Sort by size Goodwill!

Found these in my size at a thrift grand opening! I’m so excited! $5.49!

I forget to snag a pic in the store (it was a zoo!) but these are replacing my old ons effective immediately now that I’ve cleaned them.

Best way to wash thrifted wool coat?

Hey! I just thrifted a gorg wool coat and want to know my best options of washing it? It’s in great condition other than some dirty scuffs and lint. I live in a tiny apartment, and while a lot of other posts say to put it in the freezer, this is a giant coat to stuff into my tiny freezer with my food.

I’m thinking of giving it a hand wash in the tub with cold water, but any other tips of what to wash it with or any other ideas would be super appreciated.

Is this a legitimate concern people have??

I thrift a lot of vintage Christmas/Halloween decorations because I want to decorate the way I remember and loved growing up. Plus, I’d rather buy secondhand/things I know I’ll carry with me than feed the landfill. Am I supposed to be worried about “entities” attaching to these objects? I never really worried about that before, and as ridiculous as it sounds, now I am? It doesn’t help that with my OCD, I’ve really been trying to get over my irrational fears of thrifting and it’s worked over the past several years. I love everything I’ve thrifted so far and feel no desire to impulse buy things like those. But really, does anyone worry about this? (These comments were under a post about shopping the cheap holiday items at target that will go untouched after a season/even just a few days or weeks. The person in the video said thrifting is way better and there’s cuter things you can find too, and this is what these people commented)

Almost got skunked thrifting

Had 0 luck finding anything at the thrift stores with my wife. As we were about to leave the last store, I spotted this in a tub of power cords. I'll always take a small win.

The thrift store gave me this piece bc it was too big to display

The artist is from the Cree-Ojibway tribe in Canada.

I will very happily be displaying this in my home.

Antifragile at Book Thrift store

So I find this today For 15$. If that wasn’t already kind of odd heres when the story gets wilder. So I don’t know exactly what this product was but upon googling it it’s Antifragile with one cd for each of the five members, and it includes a song booklet for each. Although apparently it included photo cards or something 😭 well those were not in there.
what I’m trying to figure out is why someone would donate this in the first place with all the cds but take out whatever other stuff was in it. It is literally in brand new condition too!!! the group is Le serrafim and I would just call myself a casual listener but I also just love cds and knew this was at least a crazy kind of thing I couldn’t pass up.
if anyone has insight as to why someone would do this let me know this was just a crazy find and I will be displaying the box and using the cds. It’s my first piece of kpop merch so I was a little sad it didn’t have any extras but also shocked why someone got rid of it in the first place!!
