Thrifting can be a blast, especially if you know what you’re looking for. But for newbie thrifters, perusing the aisle of your local thrift shop can be a little overwhelming. Sara from Sunshine Whispers has some great tips for making your next shopping trip count!

Thank you, JAG Motorcoach, for visiting!

Last Thursday, we were so excited to welcome in 50+ shoppers from Central Michigan through JAG Motorcoach‘s “Big City Mystery Thrift Shop Hop“! This tour gave shopper enthusiasts an opportunity to visit seven different thrift stores in Michigan in a day full of deal-scouting and adventure! We were so honored to have been chosen as one of JAG Motorcoach’s destinations!

Each of the shopping destinations were a mystery to the shoppers, and they only had positive things to say when coming into New 2 You! Many shoppers commented on our clean and organized appearance and would love to come back next time they’re in town.

We were so glad to welcome this tour group in and loved to see their great finds!
