Bargains At A Thrift Store Everett WA

By Tracie Knight


For some, nothing beats a good second-hand shopping experience. These days, with prices going up and job availability going down, finding a thrift store Everett WA way makes more sense than ever. Especially for those times when you just feel like going shopping, bargain-hunting at a not-new store can be lots of guilt-free fun.

It's a great way to ease the guilt over shopping for fun when money is tight. A lot of satisfaction in any shopping experience is just being out and about, looking at pretty things, and maybe finding exactly what you want for yourself or your family. A good eye for size, color, and style is helpful.

People donate clothing for lots of reasons. Some like getting tax deductions. Others want to get rid of last year's styles to make way for the new. After a death, families often take the contents of a house going up for sale to a consignment or non-profit store. That means you can find books, dishes, kitchen ware, lamps, movie or music discs, small appliances, and sometimes furniture at great prices. Collectors look for figurines, glassware, Christmas collectibles, rare books, and other things.

Moving is a good time to dispose of 'clutter' that you don't want to pack. The funny thing is that there are others who can't wait to take those same items home with them. Stores weed out damaged or outworn items, so what's on the racks or the shelves is usually eminently usable. The staff often makes a real effort to organize things to make shopping easy and pleasant.

Since you never know what you'll find in a not-new shop, it's a little more exciting that just going to the mall. Often you can find exactly what you're hoping for, but even if you don't find it on this trip, you'll probably find other things that you want to take home. If you need a winter coat, for instance, you might very well find one and still be able to afford a matching scarf and gloves, as well as a few books or a new coffee mug.

Fitting rooms and full-length mirrors help shoppers get the perfect fit and style, since even bargains are a waste of money if you can't wear them. Many stores have a return policy; usually a receipt is required, the tags on garments must not be removed, and returns must be done within a set time period. This is helpful if you're buying for family members who aren't there to try things on.

Check for sales days, when the everyday low prices are even lower. It is possible to get clothes for the whole family, yourself included, for what other people pay for one outfit at the mall. Thrift shopping is also often more convenient. You don't have to fight for a parking space, drive miles into the city center, or stand in long lines to check out.

Everett has over 100,000 residents and is only twenty-five miles or so from Seattle. This means that the thrift shops are well-stocked and waiting for those who want to shop close to home, find bargains, and have fun all at the same time.
