“Unbelievable Treasures: 74 Whimsical and Bizarre Finds That Will Leave You Speechless!”
Another huge benefit of shopping second hand is that you’re probably going to find higher quality pieces. So much of what we buy brand new today is made from cheap materials to keep costs low and require customers to replace their items every year or so. But if you can find vintage items that have been around for decades, they are going to be made from much nicer materials that are actually built to last. Even appliances from a decade or two ago will probably last much longer than, say, a washing machine that you’d buy brand new today.
Now, I understand that the items featured on this list might not be the best photos to inspire you to get thrifting. But these objects just prove that you can find anything in a second hand shop, including exactly what you’re looking for. I admit that it will take some patience, and you might have to visit 10 stores before you find those jeans that fit you like a glove. So if you need some advice for embarking upon your own thrifting adventure, Rachel at The Antiqued Journey has some useful tips.
First, Rachel recommends always getting a cart when you’re at a thrift store. You have no idea what kinds of items will catch your eye, and you don’t want to be limited to snagging whatever you can hold in your hands. It’s also a good idea to go second hand shopping when you don’t have anywhere else to be. If you’re in a hurry or feel rushed, you might miss out on some excellent pieces. Go with a full stomach when you’re free for the next few hours to ensure you’ll have time to scope out the whole store.
