Why Thrift at ReStores?
Thrifting is more than just a trend – it’s a lifestyle that supports sustainable shopping while offering a treasure trove of unique items. When you shop at Habitat ReStores, you’re investing in our community. Every dollar spent helps fund our mission of building affordable housing, so you’re not just making a purchase – you’re making a difference.
Here are a few tips to maximize your ReStore shopping experience:
Tips for Thrifting at ReStores
- Visit Often: Our inventory is constantly changing! Each trip to the ReStore brings new surprises, from home improvement materials to hidden gems like vintage furniture and decor. Make sure to drop by frequently to snag the best finds.
- Have a Vision: While thrifting is about finding what speaks to you, it helps to have a loose idea of what you’re looking for – whether it’s a piece for your home, a DIY project, or simply inspiration for your next makeover.
- Think Outside the Box: Look beyond the intended purpose of an item. An old door could become a headboard, or mismatched tiles can be transformed into a stunning mosaic tabletop. Creativity is key when it comes to secondhand shopping!
- Inspect Your Finds: While ReStores ensure items are in good condition, it’s always a good idea to check for any wear and tear. For furniture, check for sturdy construction, and for appliances, inquire about how well they work. If you have any questions about our return policy, please ask the store manager on your next visit!
- Measure First: Bring measurements of the space you’re looking to furnish or improve, so you know if that great find will fit just right in your home.
