We recently shared our list of things we prefer to buy thrifted, rather than new.
Today, we'll share our list of things we'd rather not buy thrifted, for one reason or another. While we love a good bargain, it's just worth it to us to buy some things new.
On top of our list of items to NOT buy thrifted, with noted exceptions:
- under garments: underwear, bras, socks. Even though I know that a good, hot washing would most likely render these items quite safe, I cannot persuade myself to thrift these items.
- electrical items or appliances: UNLESS the store offers a decent return policy if the item does not work to your satisfaction.
- jigsaw puzzles: UNLESS it's unopened. It's just not worth the frustration of getting to the end & discovering you're missing a piece! I've been very fortunate & have found many unopened puzzles over the years.
As you can see, there aren't many things we won't buy thrifted! There's always an "exception to the rule" and nothing is totally off limits. We try to keep an open mind & make purchasing decisions on an item by item basis!
OK, let's go...Happy Thrifting!
