Like most women, I have a wardrobe that contains probably more clothes than I need. However, more than half of my items cost less than $5 because they are preloved.
I’ve been thrifting since 2014, after chancing upon a flea market at Scape and being stunned by the cheap prices people sold their preloved items for. As a broke student, getting clothes for less than $5 a piece certainly helped me stretch my dollar.
Although I am now a working adult who has more purchasing power, I still try my luck at flea markets or thrift stores. While there is still the thrill whenever I find a hidden gem, I've also continued to thrift as there are other upsides to it other than cost.
