Can Petites Find Clothing in Thrift Stores? Because I collect vintage costume jewelry and other vintage fashion accessories, I’ve shopped for collectibles in thrift stores for years, but I’ve never looked at the clothing. So I set out to learn if a short woman can find clothing and flattering accessories in a thrift store. After visiting several local thrift stores to investigate, I concluded that it’s possible. Although there are fashion bargains to be had at thrift stores, it can take a lot of searching to find clothing there, especially for petites, but if you have more time than money, your search will most likely be rewarded.
Where Can I Find Thrift Stores? There are thrift stores in almost every community. Find them by checking your local phone book. Although Goodwill, the Salvation Army, and Savers all operate large stores, sometimes the best bargains can be found in small, local thrift stores. Check several different thrift stores to see what each has to offer.
Do Thrift Stores Give Discounts? Although we might assume that the low prices thrift stores offer wouldn’t be further discounted, that’s not the case. Most thrift stores offer some type of a discount all the time. Discounts may be offered on certain days to certain groups, certain categories of items may be discounted, or everything in the store may be on sale for 50% off. To learn more about discounts your local thrift stores may offer, check with the store manager or a sales associate.
