New 2 You Upscale Retail Shop

It is easy to calculate the monetary value of shopping secondhand, but there are benefits beyond what we get to keep in our bank accounts. Shopping at your local thrift stores actually has a large environmental impact. When you shop at a thrift store here are just a few things you do to help the world around you!

-Cut on carbon emissions needed to bring merchandise from factories to retail stores

-Keep items out of landfills because you’re reusing them!

-Boost local economy by giving business to local stores

-Lower demand from businesses that sell products made in unethical sweatshops

-Create an all around positive attitude to reusing and upcycling!

These are just a few perks of shopping at thrift stores. Thank you for supporting your local thrift stores, and being a positive impact in the world around you!

Do you find yourself wanting to keep up with the latest decor trends, but find the price tag for even small simple items to be too big? There are so many obvious ways that shopping at thrift stores can save you money, like finding a nice sweater for $5.50 as opposed to $70. However, you can save on a lot of trendy decorations by just getting a little creative! For example, you can make your own fancy memo board or chalk board by purchasing a frame or old picture from a thrift store, and with a little paint and some cork you’re done! Something they won’t tell you in a retail store is that there is a whole lot more satisfaction in displaying something you made and found for a bargain, then there is when you simply purchase at full price. So stop over to New 2 You soon and let your creative juices flow!
