How would you describe your experience as a Thrifter?
Christine: I’ve been thrifting for a long time now. I thrifted a lot in high school because I found that it’s an easy way to get really creative outfits while sticking to a budget. I’ve gotten use to going to Goodwill and picking out items that are appealing to me and I see it as a challenge to find great items. The best thing about thrifting is that you get to go through anything in the store without having to worry about a price tag because all of the items at Goodwill are so inexpensive.
