Finding bargains is what not-new shops are all about. It's possible to find everything from serviceable work clothes to designer dresses. All you need is to find a good thrift store Everett WA and take the time to look through the racks and shelves.

There are many reasons for shopping at second-hand stores. Of course, the main motivation is probably to save money. This is easy to do. If you have a good eye for size, color, and style, you can outfit the whole family at major savings.

People donate or consign clothing and household goods for many reasons. Perhaps they're redecorating and their perfectly good drapes and bedspreads no longer fit the overall scheme. Maybe they want to clear the way for new fashions that haven't even come out yet, or maybe they've lost or gained so many pounds that they need to get new clothes. After a family member dies, the contents of a whole house often end up in donation boxes. Tax deductions that come with donating to charities are attractive, too.

People who moving often donate 'clutter' that they don't want to pack. The old adage 'One man's trash is another man's treasure' means that there's someone else who'll love to take it home. Furthermore, the staff will weed out any truly outworn garments or damaged items and only put usable stuff on display. These days, stores are often well-organized, with clothing divided by type, size, and sometimes color to make browsing easier. Housewares will have their own section, as will books, toys, and appliances.

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 are standard features at most shops, so you can try things on. It's a good idea to check on the policy for returning items, especially if you're shopping for others who are not there to approve purchases. Often you must keep your receipt and make returns in a timely manner, but all sales might be final.

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.
