Are you into Thrifting? If you aren’t, you should be!
and live on Freeview channel 276
As a single mum, who doesn't have as much disposable income as I would like and what I do have gets spent on the children, I started to buy second hand clothes for myself.
I had always gone into charity shops but they were a bit hit and miss. So I started to sell and buy my clothes on vinted, its absolutely brilliant but I found I had boxes and bags of clothes just sat in boxes waiting for someone to buy them.

Hide AdAfter speaking with a friend about ways to make money and a potential business venture I had thought about a pop up thrift shop.
Where people can sell their preloved clothes under one roof. I put a post on social media and a lot of people thought it was a great idea. The first event was amazing 9 stalls and over 80 shoppers. The second event was crazy boasting 25 stalls and over 200 shoppers!
We have booked a third event. All 25 stalls have sold out, but we need as many people as possible to come along and have a little look and hopefully grab a bargain. Doors open at 6pm for the VIP slots , just bring some cash (lots of change) and a bag for life or maybe two.
Why go thrifting?
The benefits of thrifting are:
•supports sustainability
•less clothes in landfill
•saves you pennies
•makes you pennies as a seller
•great for community spirit
•helps eliminate throwaway fashion so less work for the vulnerable working in sweat shops
