HOW TO SCORE AT THE THRIFT STORE

[@chloethayil9044]

I used to work at a thrift store and my wardrobe grew so much. You find great things cleaning up 😂. But PLEASE be nice to the employees - don't just drop things and leave them, don't leave a mess in the fitting room, just know we're doing the best we can and we're never treated very well so my biggest thrift tip is be considerate of the people who have to clean up after you

[@katiehess1752]

That's great that you were allowed to buy things! At the stores near me employees aren't allowed to (I guess because they'll take all the good stuff?? Idk).

[@emilieschrder7654]

If you're in doubt about an item, think of 3-5 outfit you can make of your wardrobe with the item, so you know you can use it

[@cheesecake134]

The "don't judge a thrift store by its cover" is so true! Honestly, I've found some of the best stuff languishing in tiny little forgotten thrift shops. And don't be afraid of small, dinky Goodwills in little towns! People assume you aren't going to find anything worthwhile in BFE, but often you find really great stuff there because these people HAVE to shop online or go out of town to find the good stuff. Also, thrift stores in college towns are AMAZING for practically brand new, trendy stuff and barely used home decor(you'd be amazed at what people donate just so they don't have to cart it home).

[@katiesaysrawer]

I found a pair of brand! new! docs at a church owned thrift store and I got em for eight dollassss

[@baileyhicks5087]

Katie Ryan wow! That's amazing!

[@stephanievaldez6924]

Me to and they were made in England wich are wayyyyy more expensive!

[@destinywilliams8054]

Going thrifting wearing something easy to change out of when trying stuff on is soooo important to me bc I’m a super lazy gal lmao I find wearing dresses is the best bc I don’t even have to get undressed to try pants on!!

[@JJ-ll9rc]

Destiny Williams exactly!

[@fankatolkiena2]

Destiny Williams yes. Tank top, leggings and a hoodie you can easily take off to throw a dress on

[@lilianat8413]

same! I wear sandals too so I don't have to untie my shoes.

[@marthelea]

I also look for colors and textures when thrifting. It would be cool to see a "home edition" thrifty kinda thing where you either thrift specifically for your apartment/home or just show us around what apartment stuff you have thrifted and what you use them for in your home :)

[@fancifulimpression]

Marthe Lea would love to see that from her or even a thrifted item DIY project maybe :)

[@charliecaturnip4438]

i love the face you make when you said 'i dont always wash my thrift clothes blabla' i even wash my 'new' clothes before wearing them x) i miss thrifting so much ...but i dont need any clothes so

[@CorpsexBridex]

I wish we had big thrift shops in Ireland but we only have small charity shops, the pickings are scarce but I’ve found one or two gems, if we had massive thrift shops like the US I’d be a master thrifter 😂

[@CorpsexBridex]

Samantha Klapp it sounds like a dream 😍

[@JennyWas13]

Aine Walsh It’s similar where I’m from in my city in Australia. We have a lot of smaller ones rather than a few big ones, so going thrifting can really be a full day mission because you really need to go to more than 1 store and they’re not really close to each other, so you can literally drive all around town just trying to find something

[@sckilham]

I thriftall the time, and I think my favorite tip is to ask the people who work at the stores about a discounted price if the item is damaged. I have gotten so many things for half price because they were missing a button or had a stain and those things are easy to fix! You never know what kinds of deals you can get just by asking :)

[@solo_incrept_to_infect]

Sarah Kilham yes! I went thrifting the other day and I pointed out a stain on a shirt and the lady just put it in my bag for free. I wasn't sure I could get the stain out, but I did and it looks good as new!

[@amolove24]

When I thrift I tend to get books more. Like literally almost half of the books I have are from thrift stores and they’re usually like $2 each

[@evie5375]

I LOVE ANIMAL SHELTER THRIFT STORES! There's one in my neihborhood and they have great stuff and it's always nice to know you are supporting a local shelter.

[@user-in7rr2vd6x]

When she said to always keep hand sanitizer...oh boi didnt she know bout the Coronavirus to come 😳😂😄

[@juliamoriah9056]

**THIS** is a look. 😍 That red combo of everything on you is stunning.... Edit : Love these tips! I've been thrifting for years now, but these tips are some things I never even thought to do. Thanks!!

[@JJ-ll9rc]

I love thrift stores! I live in Poland and we have a lot smaller ones carried by old ladies and these are the best ones! Have a wardrobe full of those gems! Thanks for your tips Sarah :) Thrift day tomorrow, wish me luck!

[@rvsalka]

Tom Notinly I live in Poland too and there's this small thrift shop in an area where mainly elderly people live in so it's easier to get my hands on some nicer "younger", trendier pieces bc no grandma will wear a tiny crop top lmao

[@tj-8422]

Kudos on the honesty about not always washing your items before wearing them. That made me giggle.

[@fancifulimpression]

I would love to see thrift videos from you where you thrift runway trends or thrift based on youtubers or Instagram influencers you follow :) I’d also love to see winter to spring transition outfits!

[@ivoryivi8260]

oh, Sarah, you are so beautiful, I can't even. I've been thrifting my whole life and I've been living in Russia before I moved to the US. our thrift stores there were so small and had a very limited amount of things - so you would basically purchase any decent item that you find or leave empty-handed. when I moved here thrift stores seemed like a freaking Disneyland - so huge, so many great things, and I couldn't help myself but buy waaay to many things I didn't even need. and I've learnt how to deal with this over some time but the old habit still slips through sometimes. and I imagine some people get overwhelmed like this as well and purchase more than they would want. one thing I found that helps me to thrift less is to imagine the next time I sit down and film my thrift haul and think if I'm actually planning to show this item to other people. and if I don't feel like showing it, then why is that? it may be just a staple piece that is just kind of boring to show, and then it's not a big deal. but what if I don't like it as much as I thought? and I don't think you necessarily have to have a youtube channel to use this technique. and it's not about other people liking what you get. I don't know if this makes sense but it definitely helped me a lot haha

[@Maadthreads]

I love that there is another fellow lazy thrifter on youtube!!!!!! Sometimes I spend a lot of time in the store but most of the time I do a quick browse. Love you lots!!!

[@TashaLeelyn]

YES LETS DO THIS

[@fancifulimpression]

I think my biggest tip is to check out thrift stores with special promotions or customer events too :) the thrift store near me has a customer appreciation event the last three days of every month where you spin a wheel and can get 10-75% off your purchase which is awesome and on a regular basis they also have stamp cards where you get a stamp after spending $10 and then once you hit $200 you get $20 :) I bought a bunch of Christmas gifts there and then got to treat myself and it was great! I’d also recommend people give themselves enough time to thrift I think often we get in a rush and I love taking my time to thrift and maybe revisit aisles so I don’t miss something.

[@Mikaylarasmussen]

A thrift tip: if you’re pressed for time just choose one or two sections to go through that day! For example dresses or jeans. That way you are not overwhelming yourself, but you can also take the time you need to thoroughly look at those items.

[@andrealovestea]

I love thrifting. I used to work in a thrift shop part time and back then I saw every piece of clothing so I just tried them on during my break. Now I'm not working there anymore I just take a look at the sides like you said, to see what kind of material it is.

[@shaybelle]

I love this video! So many helpful tips and tricks.. I love seeing your hauls and your “thrift with you” video. Plus, your makeup looked beautiful in this! Can’t wait for the next one.🙂

[@VintageNemo]

I look in both the women and mens section. Mens tend to have tshirt more my style and are great for oversized flannels. I also have started sewing and thrift shop are good for fabrics and embellishments

[@night_owl_sadness]

There is a church in the town where I live. Twice a month you can go there and get free clothes that people have donated I have found few things there. I just found out about it not that long ago and now I donate all my clothes I don't want their because they don't sell them and someone can get them for free and I feel a lot better than donating them to a thrift store where people have to pay a price for them. I have just recently donated two big garbage bags full of clothes I didn't want to that church

[@sadcholaclown9163]

Yeah, dude, for sure. I'm all about the men's section, the lingerie section, and the homewares section. Not too into the women's section. I'll also hit up the kids' toys because I have a very like colorful kiddie theme going on in my house. My maintenance man came to fix my air conditioner a while back and he was like, "Your house looks like it's decorated for a child's birthday party year round" and I was like, "That's the nicest thing anyone's ever said to me!!!"

[@KhaylaRae]

Loved this video! Thrifting has become my favorite thing to do. Also did anyone else think of Chucky when she said “location, location, location”?

[@gabimaza780]

Hey Sarah you know that if you don’t want to hold your stuff at the thrift store and you’re spending less than an hour there you can ask the people at the store to hold your stuff for you by the register (: they give you an hour at goodwill and if you don’t claim it they put it back

[@HystericHeretic]

I pretty much thrift exactly the same as you lol also I’ve found that the lesser known stores or thrift stores out in the country have the best and weirdest stuff :)

[@starr6465]

Sarah I get a pull cart when Im looking for Home Goods. Things get heavy. I like your Channel. Show us how you decorate with your Home Decor Choices

[@paaayygeexo]

i loved this omg can you do a video on your all time favourite thrifted items?

[@ThaoNguyen-ew7zh]

LOL that zoom in at 10:20 was so trippy and funny.

[@Starlightean]

I've been meaning to go thrifting but I keep forgetting so thanks for the reminder. I usually go in with a clear head about what I want but I keep an open mind too. I don't wanna spend more time there than necessary.

[@ADea-hp3uz]

Amazing tips. I also look at colours, fabric and texture that I like. Ps. I love your make-up ❤

[@jassmiinex]

Girl, you're eyeshadow is killer in this. I would love a tutorial!

[@molly0208]

You look so gorgeous Sarah, your eyes are the loveliest colour! Great advice about thrifting

[@fancifulimpression]

I totally agree about the texture and color thing I never look at every item but zone in on stuff I know I’m intrigued by :)

[@MissMeg1996]

FINALLY the most helpful thrift tips video I’ve seen (& from one of my fave youtubers)

[@Feelingpreetyglonky]

Whaaaat, there are people who don't wash their hands after being outside?

[@mizukichan30]

Jadzia K. my parents drilled into my mind that I need to wash my hands when I get home, so much that I cant feel clean or touch anything until I do, I cant believe people dont do it

[@Feelingpreetyglonky]

Exactly!

[@beyondtheradio]

Me too! I think this is why I am sick less than most.

[@xLiLlyx98]

Beyond the Radio I honestly am never really sick at all and I often forget to wash my hands. Not being terrified of germs and rather be resilient is actually way better than obsessively washing hands

[@rvsalka]

Also! about dressing when shopping, if you're lookig specifically for a dress/skirt wear one to shopping as well, it'll make it easier to try them on! not just for thrift shopping but something I find helpful to keep in mind in general, saved me from being annoyed with myself a couple times

[@KikiContrerasNyu]

A bit off topic but your makeup looks very flattering today! Total girl crush ♥

[@Litafaerie]

My tip would be if you have time and you have a specific color you wear the most of alot. Go to the kids section mostly check the boys shirts. Some sorters sort band t-shirts into the kids section because they think it's a kids shirt. Or they end up in the kids section because someone hung them in the wrong section

[@HomemakerDaze]

I'm a "good thrifter" in this town cause I go weekly lol love the "new" racks. Found 4 amazing items yesterday!

[@UnpleasantSim]

One thing I just think people should know is this: Don’t expect to always walk out with something. Sometimes you’ll get lucky, other times you’ll leave empty handed. It’s just how it goes.

[@matymorrigan2179]

I definitely agree: go to the little family/church owned thrift stores! Just the other day I got this authentic vintage Levi's jean jacket for literally only one dollar.

[@unspokenvoices3399]

Thank you so much for the tips ! I love going thrifting and have found some really nice items before !

[@MelizaMcG]

yasssss - our lazy thrifting process is almost identical. I hate carts in pretty much any scenario... almost as much as I hate strollers...

[@MelizaMcG]

Also - i think we are from the same area and would love to know what your fav "off-brand" thrift stores are - seems like there are Goodwills popping up left and right.

[@juliejealousy]

I love your eyeshadow! What palette did you use?

[@GloriaMcNeely]

Loving the pretty pink eye shadow. I look forward to any new shopping videos even though I buy a new item of clothing once every three years.

[@angelcardona2768]

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE! MAKE A GRWM WITH THIS MAKEUP LOOK!!

[@theatrehobbit]

In my german city, the only thrift stores we have are expensive, small and only care about big brands. That is so sad, I'd love to buy more second hand clothing

[@gabimaza780]

Girl i spend like 3 hours in thrift stores but it’s because im looking for really specific things cuz of my capsule wardrobe

[@fernonyoutube]

Shoutout to my fellow tall people with large feet who never find thrift shoes.

[@ΜαντώΚηρύκη]

hey! nice video,love thrifting too! can you tell me where your shirt is from?

[@caithenry8429]

Church owned stores are actually the best, since their items are nicer/less worn and the prices are usually lower

[@petrichorbones]

oh yes for the sizes it’s tru i found a cool pair of shoes in a whole size Larger! than what i normally wear and they’re tiny bit loose but super comfy and they fit just fine with a good pair of socks lmao!!!

[@literalmomfriend]

The catholic thrift store where i live is the BEST. They have lots of cool housewares and I've bought several furniture pieces there as well as some really cute clothes and great books. And their prices are way better than goodwill and other thrift stores in my area.

[@literalmomfriend]

And they've never been judgey about my colorful hair and tattoos. And they're really kind to my kids. I'm not religious but I will always go there because it's just an awesome thrifting experience every time

[@pennyplaysgames9026]

I really want to get into thrifting. i grew up in a house where thrifting was considered gross because it was already used. so i have trouble getting over that now. Do you guys have any tips on how i could feel better about thrifting?

[@ThePencilSkirt]

Your so good at this thanks for the tips. Can you do some videos on DIY shorts for summer

[@dianacurrier7434]

I get all of my j. crew stuff from consignment stores

[@simplicityyy21]

Honestly Goodwill is overrated. Most things are over priced and low quality. However, Savers (at least where I live) I have found so much Forever21, real leather boots, Nike, and just always score

[@pinkbunnyroseynosey]

Love your new haircut & color :)

[@ravencouch]

Should I dye my hair red?? Ugh love your hair

[@Leeuwtjexx]

ughhhhh yes. I needed this so much today. THANK YOU

[@jessicaohlsen4037]

I’ve been feeling a bit lost.. and I don’t know why but you really just idk... i know now, who I am... Just with this video you made that happen. Thank you!

[@ccap3211]

Jessica Ohlsen you found out who you are by watching a video on thrifting? Lol

[@kimbaudelaire]

I’m a big thrifter but I ALWAYS wash the clothes I thrift. I work in a clothes store and I can assure you that the people who try things on aren’t always the cleanest. 😅

[@sparkle-e6l]

I LOVE YOUR HAIR!!! What color is it? 💕

[@TanishaahsinaT]

I have a "superstition" that whenever I go thrifting, if I grab a cart or basket right off the bat, I'm going to have an unsuccessful thrifting experience. I always just start with looking and holding onto the items I want to try on or buy. If I find a lot of pieces, ONLY THEN will I grab a basket or cart!

[@user-qq6jz2wp8k]

love ur thrifting vids !!

[@Kelbel5995]

I don't even think that a lot of this is lazy, it's just SMART. I mean, who the heck has time to look at every single item in a thrift store?? And looking for colors and textures you like also makes sense--I mean, obviously I'm not going to wear a color I hate! And for me, texture is really important (I hate a lot of synthetics), so even if I love the style/cut of an item, if I hate the fabric, I'm not gonna buy it.

[@bridget_brug]

i'd love to thrift, but most thrift stores in my country are focussed on 'old' people..? i feel kind of uneasy to walk through these stores as a teen, but I really like thrifted clothing. any advise with that?

[@kirstenashley4289]

I USED TO GO CONSTANTLY TO A RESTAURANT THAT WAS LITERALLY FULL OF 99% PEOPLE OVER THE AGE OF 60 SO I UNDERSTAND THIS FEELING! Honestly, just do it anyway if you like it. You have just as much right to be there as them, so don't feel wrong or uneasy. Just focus on the clothes and stuff because honestly nobody is focused on you and nobody cares if you're a teen or way younger than most other shoppers! c:

[@ashvinyl6945]

Ayeeee I just uploaded a thrift haul! Cool tips, thrift stores here in New Zealand are so different to where you live!

thrift tip: don't live in south carolina lmaooo

[@st_th]

in south carolina thrifting SUCKS

[@sadcholaclown9163]

Elisabeth Amariei Really? That sucks. I would expect there to be great stuff because it's not as picked over there. I live in Austin and everyone and their mom owns a super hip vintage shop here, so the entire city is so picked over. About ten years ago, I used to go to the Goodwill outlet where u buy clothes by the pound, but then everyone caught on to that and now I'm having to battle with painfully hip vintage shop owners for the good shit, most of whom I trained when they worked for me at Buffalo Exchange🙄

[@LS-uc6kt]

Yeah it does! Especially when you live in the crusty bible belt part of SC *most of it tbh* but if I'm ever in the mood for leather cowboy boots and camo gear, or neon pink tshirts with monograms or the SC state flag on it then I'll def be in luck! lol

[@caitlainbolick2667]

I live in Greenville South Carolina and don't I know exactly what you mean. If you want hunting wear or Country Girl label shirt's tho, you'll be in luck

dont think of it as lazy, think of it as efficient!!

Great video.

[@spacekidkat1954]

you should really wash all ur clothes u got while thrifting before you wear them. they often dont get washed and esp when u live in america they might contain mold

[@MrsKore20]

You look a little like Betsy Brandt (Marie, in Breaking Bad).

Yaaaay

[@zump]

This is super unrelated, but with your knowledge on mental health and your more liberal political views (sorry I hate to generalize just based on some of your comments in videos I don't mean to assume any of your individual beliefs) I feel like you would have a really could take on the school shooting in florida. I'm not sure if you make videos of this sort but I'd be really interested to hear what you have to say. Love your videos

[@BoobiesNCoffee]

WASH YOUR HANDSSSSSS

[@vegandemon3259]

Too bad thrift shops in Finland only have ugly things.

[@jessicanancymorgan]

You could always try Ebay, Depop and online thrift stores isn't like going to a brick and mortar store obviously but you can still find good items for a decent price on those sites.

[@vegandemon3259]

If tip #1 isn’t “be a size small” I’m gonna call bullshit.

[@solo_incrept_to_infect]

BabeSabbath what? ...most of the items in the thrift stores around me are big sizes.

[@CJ-rw6uo]

The most common vintage clothing I find online via depop & poshmark is size large and medium. Finding extra small & small vintage clothing is really hard so I'm gonna call bullshit on your comment.

[@Lithostoic]

Don't be an asshole, I'm a size XS-S and have next to no luck at thrift stores
