11 Expert Tips For Finding the Best Hidden Thrift Store Gems​

Although most people conduct their shopping during the weekend, I recommend stopping by thrift stores earlier in the week, such as on Mondays or Tuesdays. With the majority of yard sales taking place on Saturdays and Sundays, whatever doesn't sell by the end of the weekend usually gets donated.

In addition, the weekends (especially holiday weekends) are when most people decide to clean out their attics, garages, storage areas, etc. All this cleaning out means that thrift stores will likely receive a surge in merchandise.

So whatever you're seeking — home decor, kitchenware, books, clothes — you have a higher chance of finding it during the week.
