Part 2/9:
Thrift stores and Goodwill outlets are seeing an uptick in visitors, especially on sale days, as consumers become more conscious of their spending. This inclination is not merely about affordability but also about sustainability and reducing waste. Finding items with tags, in excellent condition, or usable for crafting, makes thrifting an appealing alternative to retail. The practice allows for meaningful gift-giving without the guilt of contributing to consumerism's excesses.
