Buying used and recycled goods has many positives — you often land things at lower prices than buying new, you can score a unique find and it is better for the environment. Thrifting can also be fun for crafters and DIY enthusiasts. Furniture refurbishing, bags of stray art supplies, containers galore, fabrics (many people use used clothes, curtains and blankets for fabric crafting), frames for your art projects and more. Antique and vintage collectors can find themselves additions to their display cabinets and clothes are in abundance if you are looking to dress sustainably and affordably. If you’re getting your first apartment and need kitchenware, you can thrift it. In the same way, donating or yard-selling your unwanted items, as opposed to taking them to the dumps, offers another person the opportunity to give them new life and saves our landfills from the unnecessary fill.
