10 Thrift Shopping Hacks to Find Hidden Gems at The Full Suite
Intro:
Resale shopping is like a treasure hunt, you never know what amazing finds await! At The Full Suite, we curate high-quality, gently used items so you can score stylish deals while supporting children and families in need. Whether you're a seasoned thrifter or a first-timer, these 10 insider tips will help you uncover the best hidden gems in our store.
1. Shop Mid-Week for Fresh Inventory
Why? Donations come in every Tuesday meaning Thursdays are prime time for new arrivals. Beat the weekend crowds and get first pick!
2. Inspect for Quality (Not Just Price)
Look for:
✔️ Sturdy seams & intact zippers
✔️ Minimal wear (check elbows/knees on clothes)
✔️ Brand labels (some designer items slip in!)
3. Think Beyond Your Size
Try on slightly oversized items, they can be tailored or styled as boyfriend-fit. Kids’ sections sometimes have hidden adult gems (like vintage band tees!).
4. Check the “New Arrivals” Rack First
Our staff rotates stock weekly. Hit this section right when you walk in for the latest donations.
5. Visit Often, Inventory Changes Fast
Great items sell quickly! Pop in weekly or follow us on Facebook for restock alerts.
6. Look for Off-Season Steals
Shop winter coats in summer, swimsuits in winter, you’ll find deeper discounts.
7. Dig to the Back of the Rack
Savvy shoppers often miss hidden treasures buried behind other items.
8. Ask About Discount Days
We run specials like “Student Saturdays” or “Senior Discount Days” follow us to stay updated!
9. Shop on Special Days for Extra Savings
Some sale days, we offer 50% off on select items.
