“I find thrifting very therapeutic and I pride myself on being able to find almost everything I need second-hand,” she said. “I’ve realized other people like buying second-hand, but don’t have the time or patience to thrift for themselves. I try to buy quality and name-brand items while thrifting and then resell, so I make a little money and the person buying also feels like they got something they wanted at a great price.
Deagle questioned why anyone would buy something new if they can get it second-hand and it's in as good a shape as from a department store and costs less money. “Books and magazines are on my list as well as silicone molds and decor for my garden,” she said. “Some items that I have purchased for my garden just needs a little TLC to bring them back to life.”
Like Deagle, she also noted that “thrift shopping helps the environment with the motto reduce, recycle and reuse!”Putting it out to the universeEver since she was a little girl, Rose’s nan took her to Bag Days at local Frenchy’s stores where she said you could fill a bag for $5.
