Bored Panda got in touch with Keren Charles Duclosel, a thrift shopping expert based out of Atlanta, Georgia to learn more about the benefits of thrift shopping and to learn some tips for folks who are new to it. First, we wanted to hear most people get wrong about thrifting.

“Common misconceptions about thrifting include that thrift stores sell junk and/or dirty items. Thrifting is for poor people or those of low incomes. Thrifting takes too much time and effort,” she shared as examples of what might end up keeping people away.

Naturally, we also wanted to hear what tips she would give folks who have never thrifted, but would like to try. “My favorite tip for a newbie is to go thrifting often because the inventory changes frequently. So going often increases your chances to find items you are looking for. Always inspect items carefully. Look for quality brands to get the best bang for your buck. Lastly, buy items that you love and will use immediately.”
