The best time to hit Thrift stores is in late December and early January. The reason for this is that there is often a rush of people dropping off items at their local thrift store to get the tax write off before year end. Most people procrastinate on this till the very end so late December and early January are the best times to visit your local thrift store because they will be loaded with new items.
I recently took a trip to my local Goodwill store the other day and found it packed with new items. I also found lots of holiday items that local stores must have donated. I bought a dozen cute holiday cards for under $1 that I will use next year.
We live in the Portland metropolitan area with several nearby thrift stores. My family is planning to take an afternoon and visit all the local thrift stores. One tip I’ve found is to visit the thrift stores located in the affluent neighborhoods as you can find high-end items such as designer clothes. To Save money I recommend carpooling with friends and drawing up the most fuel efficient route in Google maps.
