I know what you’re thinking. Why would you thrift records when you could easily listen to a song on Apple Music or Spotify right? If you haven’t noticed, vinyl records have made a comeback. Since 2020 record sales have increased, largely because artists have gone back to releasing vinyl records again, and surprisingly, it’s trending with millennials. I’m unapologetically old school, I still play CDs from time to time. Purchasing records is right up my alley; I have so many memories of my dad playing records when I was growing up.

Recap: My National Thrift Shop Day Adventure At Goodwill!

National Thrift Shop Day was August 17, so it was another reason to go thrifting at Goodwill.

Goodwill Shopping in Avondale, PA!

Last week while visiting family in Delaware, my mom and I grabbed some lunch on a random Wednesday. At the end of lunch, she suggested going to a Goodwill location in Avondale, PA.

As we entered the store, I was surprised to see the location had a retail store as well as an outlet store next to each other. If you are unfamiliar with a Goodwill outlet store, the items are sold by the pound rather than per item.

Here’s Why You Should Rock A Thrifted Kimono

This year, I have fallen in love with kimonos. So far, I have thrifted two; I found my first Kimono at the Goodwill Hayfield – Alexandria, VA grand opening, and the second one I found at the Goodwill in Gaithersburg. If you’re not sure where to find them in the store, they are usually mixed in with the dresses. However, I have spotted them in the sleepwear section as well.
