Finding A Good Thrift Store Everett WA Way

By Tracie Knight


Many people would rather shop in a good second-hand store than go to a mall. They like the convenience of visiting their favorite thrift store Everett WA, where they usually can park closer, avoid crowds, and save money. Since people donate or consign all sorts of things, there's a certain sense of excitement as well as less guilt about straining the budget.

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 clothing for lots of reasons. Some like getting tax deductions. Others want to get rid of last year's styles to make way for the new. After a death, families often take the contents of a house going up for sale to a consignment or non-profit store. That means you can find books, dishes, kitchen ware, lamps, movie or music discs, small appliances, and sometimes furniture at great prices. Collectors look for figurines, glassware, Christmas collectibles, rare books, and other things.

Moving is a good time to dispose of 'clutter' that you don't want to pack. The funny thing is that there are others who can't wait to take those same items home with them. Stores weed out damaged or outworn items, so what's on the racks or the shelves is usually eminently usable. The staff often makes a real effort to organize things to make shopping easy and pleasant.

There's a certain sense of excitement to 'thrifting', since you never know what you'll find. It's often surprisingly easy to get exactly what you went for, but you also may find stuff you didn't know you needed. You may go down for a winter coat or a summer gardening hat and come home with that item plus a book or two, a pair of sunglasses, and a picture frame.

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.

It's entirely possible to get a whole wardrobe for what you might pay for one outfit at the mall. You also may find things from big-city stores or exclusive catalogs at a fraction of the original price and a lot closer to home. You can find small items for stocking stuffers or a perfect gift. It's like a treasure hunt every time, with all the thrill of beach combing or panning for gold.

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.
