COME THRIFT WITH ME IN PORTLAND | thrifting at Goodwill, Value Village + Vintage | THRIFT STORE HAUL

[@bonniebaldwin1760]

I just realized... imagine a big part of your job being THRIFTING. Living the life Alexa

[@greenapple7895]

I live in Sweden and next to my house i one time thrifted a pair of doc martens 1960s high top for 4$!!!!

Jag bor i Stockholm, där skulle de kostat typ 400kr (begagnade), vilken butik hittade du dem i?

[@bethb4432]

When you said $50 for a jacket at Goodwill my jaw literally dropped! That jacket would be no more than $7 here on the east coast.

[@alexasunshine83]

I KNOW RIGHT! I don’t even think I’ve seen that at my own goodwill haha

[@sofiefraser6631]

I love down one the hillsboro area of OR and the prices drop so low it’s mind blowing. portland is such a hipster city that thrift stores can make bank so they make their prices higher 😅

[@tagasmr8350]

For real my goodwill I used to go to was Super cheap. Once I found a brandy Melville shift for 3 bucks and a Coach hand bag for only 2 bucks? So cheap right?

[@tagasmr8350]

Beth B I think Portland has more expensive trift stores

[@mayaruby8845]

The best place to thrift is the midwest. The prices are so low; it's crazy. There is a lot of vintage stuff too. St. Louis would be a fun place to travel to. I've heard that the thrift stores are good, and they have a lot of good restaurants and stuff.

[@dimiboutselis7931]

As a midwesterner i agree! I live in Ohio and I own a vintage store and I couldn't handle the high thrifting prices on the west coast!

[@kateywilliams4764]

I agree! I'm in Indiana and we have the BEST thrift stores. I have never paid $10 plus dollars for an item at any thrift store I've been to. Bloomington, Indiana is a good place to go!

[@symphoniecameron]

omg yes!!! i’m from st. louis and i would defintiely say we have some really good thrift stores with pretty decent pricing! i love thrifting anywhere around the midwest though :)

[@Olivia.longname]

I agree as well, I live in Detroit and the stores here are always packed with gems for low prices. Example: $15 is on the expensive side for a pair of shoes here at the thrift. :)

[@BbyJLP]

Back in high school, I used to love hitting up the Salvation Army right by my house. Thrifting wasn't really a thing back then -- in fact, having all new, name brand clothes was what kids felt like they needed to do to look cool in school. I'm sure, for the most part, that's the same now for kids in middle and high school. Maybe now it's more brand focused and less about buying everything new from the most-popular place in the mall. I used to find some pretty cool stuff. I loved finding super random t-shirts and other interesting items. I miss browsing the thrift stores and need to start going back. Your videos remind me of how much fun I used to have looking through all the racks.

[@mishkarabago]

The LEVI'S are vintage if the E is capitalize and on eBay they can be up to $2,000

[@emmyjaykay]

Minneapolis has great thrifting, especially in the more well to do suburbs! There are even some stores that get bulk deliveries of recently out of season Target apparel directly from Target Corporate. We call them “Secret Targets.”

[@lfrizz]

I live in Boston and the thrifting here is amazing! we have goodwills, but my favorite place is a store called the garment district- it’s a whole city block and it’s a lot like the $1 sale in the parking lot where they have one level that’s just piles of clothes you dig through on the floor and then the upper level is all more traditional thrift store! you should definitely check it out if you’re ever in town!!

[@lfrizz]

Forever Kenzie I’ve been there a few times never in July but every time I’ve been I’ve found cool stuff so I would say yes and it’s called garment district in Cambridge mass, 200 broadway st I think! have a great trip!

[@kelsielizabeth]

this was so cute! portland is certainly the thrifting mecca, but EVERYONE here thrifts and wears vintage so the stores can hike up the prices 😅 i hope you enjoyed it here though! there's lots of vegan restaurants and you came at a great time of the year too ♡

[@megan.johnson]

imagine going thrifting with alexa it would be so much fun. i would get so many good stuff. ✨small youtuber here

[@ellabajae]

thrifting is always so overwhelming but SO GOOD

[@soonertia]

I went to Colorado Springs and Santa Fe, NM in October and my Mom and I went thrifting. We loved Goodwill in SF!!! And CO has a chain of thrift stores called ARC. They are awesome! They have thousands of items that come in daily. We spent so much on awesome finds! I highly recommend those areas. They're 4 hours apart but the culture in both is unbeatable.

[@AllySheehan]

Ahh Alexa this video is such great quality! This made me miss Portland so much, it's such a dreamy place this time of year 🍂☕️ I actually just posted a similar video with the REVERSE concept, most expensive to the absolute cheapest.

[@pankow22]

I've never been to a goodwill where the clothes were only divided by color. All the ones here are divided by size

[@alexasunshine83]

Oh really??? Lucky! All the Orange County, LA, and riverside goodwills for by color 🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️ at least the ones I’ve been to

[@yogaqueen1527]

Same I live in Michigan. Its divided by size

[@80apocryphal13]

Huh. I'm in VA and they do size, then colour...

[@emilybartchy4569]

Same here in Pittsburgh Goodwill

[@styleonrepeat]

That Value Village is 10 minutes from my house! It's pretty expensive unless you buy the tag color of the day for 50% off. Thrifting is super popular here and has been for years so a lot of places jack up their prices.

[@luckymatchvintage]

I live in Portland, OR and actually sell vintage clothing for a living! It's always so interesting to see people on youtube thrift in Portland because I always just want to yell "no no no the thrift stores are TERRIBLE here, dont go to that one" haha. Insider tip if you ever come back or if someone reads this who is visiting :P If you stay in PDX you're going to want to go to one of the 4-5 goodwill outlets that are in PDX or within 20-40 minutes of the city because thats where the majority of quality vintage items are found. There are smaller thrift stores outside of portland basically right by where the savers you went to are, but you really have to be there right at opening and stand in line. There are just so many resellers here since its a big vintage / goodwill outlet hub. You can also find some really good deals at Hollywood Vintage, which is essentially like House Of Vintage on Hawthorne, but not as expensive because House Of Vintage is such a well established vintage shop for tourists they mark of their items like CRAZY and folks will buy it without question haha. Great video, sorry for the novel im just a vintage / thrifting nerd. @luckymatchvintage

[@hannahlchampion]

Your hair is growing so fast! It’s beautiful! Please give me your tips and secrets

[@oakcliffdwellers]

I’m always soooo shocked at how much things are priced for over there on the west coast! You should come to Dallas girl... there are sooo many thrift stores and the prices are so much cheaper. There’s a store I just went to yesterday called “Dirt Cheap”... it’s a lot of mostly Target inventory that either didn’t sell or was returned... literally got a dress for me and a few sweaters for my husband for ... get this... $1 each! It’s amazing. You’d love it!

[@greyyy9]

OMG! I live near Portland and LOVE going into the Hawthorne neighborhood!!

[@jadesimone8947]

If you ever come to the UK thrifting you should book tickets (usually free) to the preloved vintage kilo. There do them in every city so you might have to plan ahead to make sure there's one in the area you'd be staying at. It's about £15 per kilo I believe and you get given bags to take in to fill up. I've got denim jackets, lots 80s & 90s clothing like funky shirts and the amount of levis and wrangler stock they have is unbelievable. Lots of fashion from multiple decades and always find good stuff not too picked over and obviously reasonably priced 😊

[@missmay193]

2:37 the way you said that sounded so Dutch. Im from the Netherlands, and its random but cool to me. Loved the video, cant want to trift again soon

[@abadasian__8217]

I live in Las Vegas and Saturday’s at Goodwill are $1 color of the week tag, it’s usually really busy but there’s really really good finds. Also Savers has 50% everything on Monday’s IF you ever want to come thrifting here 🙃

Those jeans are so cool!!! And I LOVE Fall in the PNW!! 🍁🙌

[@brittneyzapor]

so Buffalo Exchange does stock a small amount of new merchandise that they buy from vendors, which is why they had multiple of that striped sweater with original tags attached.

[@marinarasauceslayyy]

if you go to any doc store you can purchase inserts for the shoes!! my friend and I did that because hers were too big and because they don't sell half sizes they'll suggest buying one. it might not make it fit like a size 9 but it'll probably be pretty close if you get a bigger insert :)

[@alices292]

The rainbow sweater was originally sold in urban outfitters. I bought 2 different patterns from there 2 years ago.

You should go thrifting in NY. I recently did it for the first time and my mind was blown away. I just went to a goodwill and a L train vintage store and I was amazed. The stores were so organized, the prices were insane and they had the best stuff. I got a faux leather brown jacket just like I was needing for $20 at goodwill and L train had all their fake and real fur plus other jackets not over $20. I’ve never experienced something like that. I was so happy haha. You’d love it.

[@clairethomas608]

If you are ever in the DFW area in TX you need to go to the ACO treasure chest in Allen! They are only open certain times but it is amazing - they have a great 25 cent sale every other Saturday. I recommended 100%!

The one Goodwill near me (Alabama) breaks things down by size rather than color. It has very few men’s clothes, including a limit shirt selection, and is mostly women’s clothes. I feel so envious watching your videos of thrifting in LA bc it’s so different.

[@alexasunshine83]

Awwww yeah, we definitely just have so many thrift stores, I think we may consume too much 😅😅

[@samiansley5740]

Alexa Sunshine83 I lived in LA (Burbank) for two years and 12 in NorCal about 15 years ago, and the consumption is feels equal to what’s happening out here. I don’t know why thrifting is down here, but our consignments are great! I’m going to Cleveland for Thanksgiving and am pumped to check out the thrift stores there!

[@landporte1593]

I live in Lake Oswego, Oregon. I love thrifting here, but yeah, you went to the expensive stores. My favorites are the discovery shop in King City, the Assistance League of greater Portland/Beaverton, GHM boutique in Beaverton, CAT adoption team thrift store in Portland, and Village Merchants on Division street. I guess you will have to come up for another visit. Those are the best places for unique items at reasonable prices.

[@momandsonthriftingadventur6169]

Yup, more and more people are into Thrifting. I never started until I was in my 30s and then not very often. I was more interested in yard sales. Anyway I thrift with my sons. So I started a You Tube channel to record our adventures. We have both had second hand boutiques in the past. I miss that.

[@christinamann3640]

I just figured out something about thrifting. I saw another video that showed the typical aesthetic/lifestyle of Portland is outdoorsy/biker rugged, everyone dresses for a hike in the mountains. The jacket you were seeking is in high demand in that region, and priced accordingly. They are also big into sustainability and thrifting. If one travels to thrift, it might be a great idea to go to an area that is the opposite stylistically. That might even be a great video idea, with collabs with local style bloggers to pin down the local aesthetic.

[@kellyvandiessen3488]

that colorful jeans is sooooooooooooooo cool!
