There are 2 game plans when entering a thrift store. 1. Know what you’re looking for and go for it. 2. Browse around till you find something you can’t live without. As for me, the first time I went, I was looking for a coat in the winter time. I found a heavy purple wool coat at a steal, for $ 1. I actually paid more for dry cleaning. Prices are reasonable and there is lots to look at. Don’t forget to check the back garage for household items.
