Thrift stores in Clearview

Thrifting tips for Clearview

A few things worth knowing before you work through Clearview's thrift stores:

Weekday mornings beat Saturday crowds at We GET it. Serious pickers go early on weekdays. Weekends are for browsers; the stock is the same but the competition isn't.
Go often, buy rarely. The regulars' secret: short frequent visits beat rare long ones. Ten minutes twice a week outperforms a monthly expedition.
Cash still talks. Some small shops prefer cash and a few will deal a little on big items if you're paying cash. Worth having some on you.
Keep a running want-list. Write down what you're hunting for. Aimless browsing is fun, but a list turns luck into strategy.
