What Should I Buy at Thrift Stores instead of Boutiques?

November 8, 2018

Shopping at a thrift store is different than shopping at a boutique. At Goodwill, we receive donations to our stores every day. Thrift store shoppers can score unbelievable deals on clothing, home goods, books and jewelry.

Buy These Things at a Thrift Store

One-of-a-Kind Finds – Because we receive donations, we rarely ever have two of anything. You’ll likely find something unique and one-of-a-kind when you shop at a thrift store.

Upcycling Gems – Giving a piece of furniture or décor new life with a coat of paint, some sanding, and unique details is a DIYers dream. Many thrift shoppers love finding pieces that just need a little fixing up.

Clothing – From vintage finds to everyday essentials, you can shop for an entire wardrobe at Goodwill. When you look for high-quality fabrics and classic pieces, you can find clothing that will last for years.

Winter Boots – Don’t spend a bundle of money on trendy boots. Head to Goodwill instead where you’ll find knee high boots, riding boots, and booties for winter.

Linens – Did you know you can find home décor linens at Goodwill? Table runners, curtains, bed skirts, and tablecloths are all things you can buy at a thrift store.

Holiday Decorations – Decorate for the holidays on a budget with unique and festive finds from Goodwill.

Books – If you love to read, come check out our selection of kids, young adult, and adult books. There’s also a good chance we have non-fiction and reference books.

Why shop at Goodwill?  

Goodwill of Central and Northern Arizona is deeply rooted in the local community. There are 80+ community locations where your no-longer-needed items can be dropped off, which in turn gives new life to clothing and other items that would otherwise be thrown away.

Our stores are known for their sizable selections, unique goods, fun finds, and of course our low prices! You never know what you’ll find at a Goodwill location near you. For more special offers and coupons, sign up for our email newsletter.
