Okay, so can we talk about thrift stores hiking up their prices like they’re selling gold-threaded tees? :money_with_wings: Like, my limit for a t-shirt is $10 MAX. Someone back me up on this!

PREACH, vintage4eva! I once saw a vintage band tee for $50! Dude, it’s a thrift store, not a boutique. :woozy_face:

But real talk, isn’t this just capitalism in a flannel? Scrap the glorified prices and support local yard sales instead. :seedling:

Honestly, the secret? Go on restock day. Got a legit Levi’s denim for $9 last week. :fire: Patience and timing, my friends!

I hear y’all. But sometimes, those pricier picks can be invested in. That $15 jacket might just last you a decade. :wink:

Idk, I kinda dig the challenge. Like, find that next-level piece for cheap and flex it hard on Insta. :smiling_face_with_sunglasses: #ThriftGoals

Reminds me of when that random dude said ‘I’d rather spend $5 and spend the other $5 on iced coffee.’ Still living by that motto. :joy:

Remember, the endgame is reducing fast fashion. So if you gotta shell out a bit more for sustainability, maybe it’s worth it. :shopping_bags:

Let’s not forget the real treasure of thrifting: finding something that screams 90s nostalgia for the same price as a Starbucks. :raising_hands:

Lowkey, I think the price hikes are bc more people are thrifting these days. Supply vs. demand, y’know. :chart_increasing:

Pro tip: Haggle a bit! If you see something you love, ask for a discount. Worst they can say is no, right? :wink:

I just keep my eyes peeled for the $1 rack. Got a vintage skirt that way once. :dress: #PatiencePays

Real question: Thrift stores flipping for-profit vs charity. Do y’all care which one you’re buying from, or nah? :thinking:

socially_conscious_guy

Absolutely, zestyzoomer. It’s important! If I’m supporting a cause while getting my fashion fix, that’s a double win. :globe_showing_europe_africa:

Y’all, just thrift online. Less drama, more commas, and still authentic to the core. :joy::laptop:

At the end of the day, thrifting’s all about the hunt. The price is just the hurdle you jump in your own adventure. :woman_running::sparkles:
