Shoppers Discover Unusual Items And Low Prices In Thrift Stores Hanover PA

By Marissa Velazquez


It is great fun to hunt for bargains and treasures. When someone sets out to shop in thrift stores hanover pa is a fertile hunting ground. There are a number to choose from. They may hold everything from framed paintings to screen printed t-shirts. Inside those doors there are always unexpected items.

Stroll up and down aisles with furniture on one side and bicycles on the other. Often shoppers find items that they have never seen before. It is entertaining to guess what an unknown item might be used for. In most cases, a shopper makes purchases that are different from what he or she came in for.

There may be bins filled with clothing and some on hangars. The furniture many include beds, chairs, dining room sets and tables in need of refinishing. With a little time and varnish they may be beautiful as well as practical.

One wall may be covered with paintings and one aisle filled with lamps. Find mixers, toasters and other small kitchen appliances. Customers can find an extension cord to test each one before making a purchase. That avoids disappointment in the electrical item.

The clothing items may or may not have labels indicating the size. Fortunately, most thrift stores will have a dressing room to try them on. Sometimes the clothes will be new and have tags on them. Retail stores that go out of business sometimes donate the remaining stock when they close their doors.

These stores most often support a charity and people know they are helping others by donating goods and making purchases there. The profit is possible because there is never an investment made to stock the shelves. Often the clerks working there are donating their time.

They enjoy setting up eye-pleasing displays that make shopping there a pleasant experience. Holiday displays are especially appealing. Imagine buying all the plastic pumpkins and costumes for a family with three children. It could be cost-prohibitive in the retail shopping venues.

Wrapping paper, cards and bows can be purchased for minimal prices. Sometimes new products can be found and may be suitable as gifts. Baskets, both woven and plastic are available in abundance.

The clerks, many of whom donate their time, will take small items such as jewelry out of the display cases for customers to examine more closely. Pretty items such as vases and porcelain dolls may be displayed on shelves behind the counters.

For a person outfitting an apartment for the first time, or someone furnishing a summer home, there are all the dishes, glassware and silverware he or she could want. Pots and pans, bedding and even furniture may be in the shop at bargain prices. Beach towels and toys may be found too.

The cashier who checks out the customers will bag everything and wrap breakable items carefully to protect them. The cashier and other clerks are friendly and usually thank shoppers for making purchases. These purchases are appreciated by whatever charity is supported by thrift stores hanover pa and in the general area.
