Sara Noel’s second-hand shopping tips
Sara Noel, hostess of Frugal Village, has some great tips on what to buy - and what to avoid – when shopping at the second hand stores.
A snippet from that column, which also appeared in Sunday’s edition of The Monroe Evening News:
You can find seasonal place mats, tablecloths, cloth napkins, bedding, throw rugs, vases, candles (new) and candleholders, and mismatched silverware. If you visit frequently, are patient, and are looking for a specific item, you’ll find it at a thrift store. Many have brand-new items from department stores, too. Some merchandise is going to be common, but you can find unique and vintage items, too. This is especially true in the housewares department, where you can find collectible dishes and glassware.
Are you one of my local readers in Monroe, Mich.? Here’s a list of second-hand stores in our area.
