- Where? Support your favourite charitable thrift shop. Not all thrift shops are non-profit, especially VV. Choose shops run by volunteers or/and a well-recognized, respected organization or a shop run by a starving artist.
- With who? Carpool with friends. Why not make it a fun day!
- Time? Give yourself LOTS of it. Unless you have a specific item you want then thrifting is like a treasure hunt, a new store everyday.
- Donate! Bring at least one bag of donations with you. Be brutally honest with your belongings. Do you really need what you have?
- Wear something easy to remove and slip on shoes. There may be a line up, so be quick as you can in the change room. This will be appreciated. And don’t hog the change room.
- Do NOT haggle over prices. You’re already getting a National Thrift Day discount!
- Thank the volunteers for their service.
- HAVE FUN!
