Happy
National Thrift Shop Day, everyone!
Thrift shop's are
generally charity run stores that serve to raise funds for the
organization. “They usually sell mainly used goods donated by
members of the public, and are often staffed by volunteers.” The popularity of
thrift shops has grown significantly in the past few years and there are
several reasons for that. One dominant rationale is that purchasing second hand
reduces the amount of goods manufactured, thus having a positive influence on
the environment. Another is that people do not want to purchase items produced
in sweatshops, so by selecting second-hand goods, an additional ethical
thought-process is exercised. These motives are excellent reasons to support
the “second-hand movement,” however for me, I just find crazy things at thrift
store that I can’t typically buy elsewhere. And everyone knows, second-hand
shops are the #1 go-to for ugly Christmas sweaters, and creative Halloween
costumes.
Get thrifty and vote on today’s poll.
And of course, we can’t talk about thrift shops without also posting this
classy jam by Macklemore!
