Bargains At A Thrift Store Everett WA

By Tracie Knight


For some, nothing beats a good second-hand shopping experience. These days, with prices going up and job availability going down, finding a thrift store Everett WA way makes more sense than ever. Especially for those times when you just feel like going shopping, bargain-hunting at a not-new store can be lots of guilt-free fun.

It's a great way to ease the guilt over shopping for fun when money is tight. A lot of satisfaction in any shopping experience is just being out and about, looking at pretty things, and maybe finding exactly what you want for yourself or your family. A good eye for size, color, and style is helpful.

People donate clothing for lots of reasons. Some like getting tax deductions. Others want to get rid of last year's styles to make way for the new. After a death, families often take the contents of a house going up for sale to a consignment or non-profit store. That means you can find books, dishes, kitchen ware, lamps, movie or music discs, small appliances, and sometimes furniture at great prices. Collectors look for figurines, glassware, Christmas collectibles, rare books, and other things.

Moving is a good time to dispose of 'clutter' that you don't want to pack. The funny thing is that there are others who can't wait to take those same items home with them. Stores weed out damaged or outworn items, so what's on the racks or the shelves is usually eminently usable. The staff often makes a real effort to organize things to make shopping easy and pleasant.

There's a certain sense of excitement to 'thrifting', since you never know what you'll find. It's often surprisingly easy to get exactly what you went for, but you also may find stuff you didn't know you needed. You may go down for a winter coat or a summer gardening hat and come home with that item plus a book or two, a pair of sunglasses, and a picture frame.

Fitting rooms and full-length mirrors help shoppers get the perfect fit and style, since even bargains are a waste of money if you can't wear them. Many stores have a return policy; usually a receipt is required, the tags on garments must not be removed, and returns must be done within a set time period. This is helpful if you're buying for family members who aren't there to try things on.

It's entirely possible to get a whole wardrobe for what you might pay for one outfit at the mall. You also may find things from big-city stores or exclusive catalogs at a fraction of the original price and a lot closer to home. You can find small items for stocking stuffers or a perfect gift. It's like a treasure hunt every time, with all the thrill of beach combing or panning for gold.

With over a hundred thousand residents, Everett is a great place for not-new shops. There are lots of people to donate or consign, and lots of people who need what the stores offer. Check out the opportunities for real bargains.
