“I love your outfit!” someone called out. “Thanks girl, this dress was only $5 and it has pockets!” a girl called back.
Many of us have heard an exchange or two like this in public. Maybe a few of us have even felt jealous at someone finding such a great deal. Today we’ll explore where to thrift your next look in Cleburne, Texas.
Thrift shopping became popularized in the early 2000s after people sought to reduce the waste and environmental harm that can come from fast fashion, according to 2nd Avenue Thrift Superstore. The trend of saving money and recycling fashion through thrifting has only become more popular over the years. Macklemore and Ryan Lewis even released a song called “Thrift Shop” in 2012, which focused on the thrill of “popping tags” and finding deals on second hand finds like “leopard mink” that gain attention in the club.
While there are plenty of independently owned thrift shops across the state of Texas, Cleburne is home to a Goodwill Store where there are plenty of great deals and secondhand finds to be found.
Goodwill North Central Texas offers a loyalty program for even more savings, a senior discount days and a traditional “color tag day” in which patrons can save even more on clothing and items marked with special colored tags.
On top of saving some cash, when you shop at Goodwill you’ll also be supporting a not-for-profit business that has many initiatives focused on the betterment of the community as well as individuals. Read more about some of Goodwill’s programs here.
