Thrifting can be a hit or miss. I had one of my best thrift experiences atleast Motown Thrift<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Three words\u2026 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ferragamo leather coat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes, a Ferragamo leather coat with a $9 price tag (after tax). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I remember the day like it was yesterday, just left my local fruit market and wanted to get some thrifting done. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Typed in the closest thrift shop and Motown Thrift popped up, maybe an eight-minute drive. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I arrived at the thrift and went in not knowing I would find my next best thrift. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Read more to find out what I found and saw. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What did I find <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Name-brand clothing like Nike, and Levi\u2019s are the main brands you will find at any thrift. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This collection had a lot of vintage brands or brands that no longer exist. Plus a dash of brands we all know. Their name-brand clothes though no matter if they had a stain or a little tear had quite the price tag. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Their store wasn\u2019t overly crowded with rows and rows of T-shirts or jogging pants but they did have rows and rows of clothing pieces. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I didn\u2019t see a lot of pieces that caught my eye or made me go crazy but I definitely feel their coat section was one of the best. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Think about it, I found a Ferragamo leather jacket in crisp shape besides one error. It has a tear on its pocket, which is totally fine because some quick sewing will fix that little tear. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overall I left with that jacket, a business casual dress, and a small crate with \u201cSnickers\u201d printed on it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prices <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re an avid thrifter you would know that after the pandemic, the prices at the thrift went up just like everything else. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The average thrift shirt you find no matter the style may cost you $4 and up now. Sorry, yes I am used to $1 shirts and purses being $3. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Their prices were okay but some clothing items were just not worth that price. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thrift stores are also seeming to sell EVERYTHING they get no matter the stains, tears, or polka dot holes in the piece as they are still tagging and putting it out there. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is quite weird and problematic to me because if you are thrifting pieces that are already damaged \u2026 you\u2019re just going to have to throw them away in less than five months and now it\u2019s back at the thrift shop or so worn that you have no choice but to toss it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They do offer your typical half-off sales with select colors on certain days. Seniors are offered 25% off Monday through Friday. Veterans are offered 25% off on Tuesdays. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Average price for clothing items <\/strong>– $3-10<\/p>\n\n\n\n
