Part 3/9:
The first essential step in any thrifting plan is deciding where to shop. You can choose local thrift stores, like Goodwill, or explore the world of online thrift shopping. While in-person shopping allows for trying on clothes and avoiding shipping waste, online thrifting offers a larger selection. Joy encourages readers to be selective while shopping online to prevent buyer's remorse.
To locate the best local thrift shops, consider looking for stores that align with personal values and charitable missions. Thrift stores in more affluent neighborhoods may have newer and varied selections, but Joy reminds shoppers to not overlook smaller, local shops.
