Free Powerpoint Templates How to Find Thrift Store Bargains

Slide 2: 

There’s an old saying: “One man’s trash is another man’s treasure.” Treasures are exactly the way bargain-hunters feel about the diamonds they find in the rows of thrift store clothing, household goods, and other items. A like new coffee pot for two bucks. A leather coat with tags still on it for five bucks. These items aren’t unusual finds at thrift stores, even if you live in a smaller town.

Slide 3: 

All thrift stores aren’t created equal, so if you’ve found one to be disorganized or lacking in bargains, that doesn’t mean you should give up on all of them. Try out various thrift stores until you find one that suits your particular tastes. Some stores, for instance, organize clothes by type, some by size, some by color, and some use a combination of some or all of those. For more detail visit @ http://www.savers.com/

Slide 4: 

Some thrift shops have clothes in piles on tables, requiring you to sort through them, while some have clothes hanging on racks. Don’t dismiss the piles of clothing offhand. Since many shoppers are unwilling to dig through those piles to find the treasures within, you’re likely to find quite a few unclaimed jewels among all that clothing.

Slide 5: 

Many thrift stores have dressing rooms to allow you to try clothing on before buying them. If you have to wash your used clothing before wearing it, try it on at home and donate it if it doesn’t fit. For more detail visit @ http://www.savers.com/

Slide 6: 

Be sure to examine clothing items carefully for any stains, holes, or missing buttons. Remember all items are donated, regardless of condition, so it is your responsibility to check things out before buying them. Many thrift stores have very limited return policies.

Slide 7: 

Even if an item has flaws, though, keep in mind that a missing button is easily remedied. If you’re handy with a thread and needle, you can find some great bargains at thrift stores, make a few repairs, and have an item for the fraction of what it would cost new. Even if you have to take the item to an alterations shop, you may spend less than retail, especially if the item has a designer label. For more detail visit @ http://www.savers.com/

Clothing isn’t the only bargain you’ll find when you’re shopping for thrift store bargains. Thrift shops usually feature shoes, belts, purses, and even furniture. You can normally get great deals on used books at thrift stores, as well as dishes and pots and pans. For more detail visit @ http://www.savers.com/

Slide 9: 

Beware of electronics, however, as often they are donated because they are no longer functioning properly. Old technology like computer monitors and TV sets that are not the flat-panel monitors of today are an exception to that, as are outdated items like VCRs and audio cassette players.
