Thrifting is a way to get interesting, completely unique secondhand items for a fraction of their retail price. Though thrifting requires determination and perseverance, an intrepid shopper is almost always rewarded with a great find.
Best thrifted items can be found at Alpha Thrift. To get started, try visiting one of their three locations: one on Milpas Street and two on Hollister Avenue. The merchandise is well organized and all proceeds go to charity.
Yes, thrift stores do not emphasize luxury, but because most of the items are vintage, they will often be of a better quality than what you’d find in today’s retail stores. With an open mind and the help of these three useful tips, you’ll be a thrifting expert in no time.
