What Is National Thrift Shop Day?

Every year, National Thrift Shop Day shines a spotlight on the fun, benefits, and community impact of thrift shopping. It’s the perfect excuse to hunt for one-of-a-kind finds, save money, and shop more sustainably.

At its core, National Thrift Shop Day is about more than bargains, it’s about the experience. The thrill of spotting a vintage jacket you didn’t know you needed, the satisfaction of finding quality brands at a fraction of the price, and the joy of giving pre-loved items a second chance to shine.

Shopping secondhand also helps the planet. By purchasing gently used clothing, furniture, books, and décor, you’re reducing waste, conserving resources, and cutting down on the demand for new production. Every thrift purchase keeps perfectly good items out of landfills and puts them back into use and where they belong.
