Timing

Lastly, timing is extremely vital for thrift shoppers. While some vintage stores allow customers to come in any day and sell their clothes, most of the best stores get their pieces on vintage buying trips. These trips take place in a lot of the major cities during antique shows and conventions. You’ll want to find out when your favorite stores are going on buying trips so that you can have first dibs on the goods as soon as they hit the floor. You don’t want to miss out the chance to nab these fabulous items first!

    Normally I don’t go to thrift stores but I have been to a few in La jolla, Pb and hillcrest around San Diego. Sometimes you can find great buys. I have some rules when buying thrift clothes like no underwears or garmets or certain hats. I’ve read that some items will still care certain pest/bacteria after you wash it. I know someone who said she got crabs from wearing some else bathing suit. I believe her she was only 13 a the time. So you have to careful.
