Consumer Buying Power Series Part Two

Everyone has buying power!
How you utilize your buying power has a huge impact on your local economy as well as global corporations.
I'm a big thrift store shopper. It's green, It's cheap, and it supports local organizations.
For every dollar I spend at the thrift store I am
1.Helping the environment
By buying used products you are preventing a textile from finding its way into your local landfill.
2. Your helping your local community
By utilizing your local thrift store you are helping your community to maintain a healthy economy. Your purchase allows jobs to be created in some instances and in others you will find a wide variety of volunteers. Which leads us to number three
3. Social Benefit​
By stopping into your local thrift store You are also allowing your local thrift store to offer an added social benefit to your local community.​​​​​

​Your buying power is huge! ​

 ​​​

Here are 5 things to look for when thrift shopping for your wardrobe
1. Know before you go
What colors are on trend this season! A little fashion knowledge goes a long way. You will not be able to find an exact match but you should be able to find something close to it.
2.Whats your Favorite brands
If you know your favorite brands then you will now if your getting a good deal. You don't want to pay 10.00 for a used top that you could get at an outlet mall for 5.00​​
3. Classic Cut
Look for classic cut clothing. These are always in style. They are easy to diversify and always leave your feeling like a million dollars!
4. Accessorize
The vintage finds at the thrift store are absolute amazing! Pick some up, Your special, your an individual, so capitalize on it!​
5. Have fun
Keep going, finding that perfect item is worth the effort and remember everything your buying power is accomplishing!

Have fun shopping!​
