Designer or Unique Handbags
Every handbag collector knows that these seemingly whimsical items can cost an arm and a leg. You might just find your biggest steal ever at your local thrifty place.
Vinyl Records
Streaming may be the most popular way to listen to new music, but vinyl has made a huge comeback. If you’re looking for a place to get classic albums for your record player, look no further than thrift stores.

Furniture Pieces
Small home decor furniture pieces that fill spaces like sofa tables, end tables, wall tables and vanity desk are a great find.
Thrifty places and bargain stores often have new items in stock too. As a wholesaler they can buy in bulk for items that were not sold out, or under performed in the market during holiday sales.
These store owners spend countless hours hunting for items to bring into their store, while donations can be accepted of certain items most are purchased through estate-sales, overstock sales and bulk sales from retail stores and vendors.
Thrifty places and bargain stores are not exclusive resale stores with 100% being donated items.
