Thrift stores and yard sales reward regular visits and a bit of patience.

Tips

  • Keep a wish list with target prices
  • Ask thrift stores which days they restock and which days have discounts
  • Go to yard sales early for the best items, late for the best prices
  • Bring cash in small bills, a tape measure and a phone charger to test things
  • Don't buy just because it's cheap
