What is National Thrift Shop Day?
National Thrift Shop Day is an annual event that celebrates secondhand shopping, held every year since 1992. It promotes the benefits of thrifting, including sustainability, saving money, and the thrill of finding something truly unique.
Major non-profits like Goodwill, the Salvation Army, and Habitat for Humanity participate, along with for-profit chains and independent stores across the United States and Canada. Discounts offered in past years typically range from 25% to 50% off, and some stores celebrate with extras like refreshments and free gifts. Beyond the deals themselves, getting out on National Thrift Shop Day is a great way to meet other thrifters and show support for the community and your local stores.
How to find the best deals
Here are a few tips after years of participating in National Thrift Shop Day events:
- Sign up for newsletters offered by the stores you visit and follow them online. Watch their feeds for announcements.
- Call local shops you don’t visit regularly to see if they’re participating.
- Prepare donations in advance so you can drop items off on National Thrift Shop Day. Some stores might give you a coupon that you can use in combination with any deals they might be offering!
A note for resellers
If you resell, Thrift Shop Day can be one of the best sourcing weekends of the year. A storewide 30-50% discount goes straight to your bottom line.
