Thrift store shopping is a must do when you are looking to save money. But how do I get started? How can I get better at finding bargains and know what’s happening in my local area? Is there a way to build up a habit and be able to find the things I need and save money at the same time. We have a lesson to help you do this.
Today’s tough times demand that we do more with fewer resources. How we spend our money and the financial choices we make will ultimately determine our financial health and our quality of life. Thrift stores offer today’s shopper an array of inexpensive, unique, quality merchandise, at a fraction of the cost. Even celebrities like Tyra Banks, Julia Roberts, Jada Pinkett Smith, and Nicole Ritchie are reported to be thrift store divas. If you’ve been thinking of it as a shop for the poor, or the spot for the over 60 crowd, you need to have a paradigm shift. Do you suffer from having champagne taste on a beer budget? Would you like to “live rich” without the guilt of excessive credit card debt?
We’ve created a lesson that will provide you with tips, tools and techniques to become thrift store savvy, impress your friends, and save money. You’ll discover insider’s secrets on how to shop and where to purchase in order to get the ultimate deals.
The Lesson is broken down into 4 brief sections which prepares you on
- Reprogramming your thinking
- Identifying and targeting stores
- Establish goals
- Preparing for the trip

That’s nice. I signed up to have a look. Talk about a waste of time… The four brief tutorials mentioned isn’t even posted yet, or if they are I can’t find a way to access them. All you get for your time is the exact same blurb that’s above, and a lot of push to pay money for other lessons. Some actual information UP FRONT about how that system is even supposed to work would be much fucking appreciated… Like, if those four brief tutorials will be posted over the next week, fine. Over the next month? Misleading advertising, ready your lawyers.
Oh, and if it wasn’t clear by my tone above – I’m not pleased, and I recommend everyone to not bother with lifehack lessons until they have found more honest ways of marketing them.
Hey @f2d7d711d7931e4d562d2a4c08f24be9:disqus , sorry you didn’t find any value in the lesson. It’s one of the reasons we let people use some of the lessons for free for a limited period, so that they can evaluate if it’s for them or not. The 4 brief tutorials are inside the introduction part of the Lesson.
Sure, will describe the system more clearly.
Look at the spelling of “Becoming” in the title. Oops. A little red squiggly line is in order.
Thanks. Corrected!
Sounds interesting! With leaner times upon my household in the last few years, I’ve rethought my shopping strategy. Will give this some consideration. Thanks so much!
A good habit to get into, so even when lean times are over, it makes a great way to save.
I’ve always been a thrifty shopper and appreciate the finer points in this piece. Going in prepared is vital as it sets your mind on the task and helps accomplish your goal. Ms. Banks does a fine job of laying out a plan.
