What to Look for in Thrift Store Clothes

Shopping can be tough, and even with discount stores like Wal-Mart, Ross and TJ Max, the prices can be too high. If you want top shelf clothes without the high prices, you can find good deals at the thrift store just by keeping an eagle eye.

First off, make sure you like the garment first. If you like it, read on. If not, you're in the wrong store.

Next, check for tears and stains. It's easy to miss these things, so look the garment over carefully, and every inch of it. Any tear, any stain, forget the garment.

Before you call it a deal, check the stitching for loose or unraveling threads. Even one or two can be a warning sign too valid to ignore.

Most importantly of all, make sure the price isn't too high. You might be helping a charity, but if you have money on tap, buy the new clothes you actually want and throw your money directly to the needy.
