I was looking up articles on thrifting addictions because I haven’t been able to stop myself from thrifting a couple times a week. I was hoping to find something that would encourage me to stop but this article made me feel so understood it just super-kicked in my urge for thrifting. I definitely get the ”What am I missing out on right now?” fear. A piece that would be a perfect addition to my wardrobe and that won’t be seen at the store again? Ahhhh! I need to find a way to stop.

Its such as you learn my thoughts! You seem to understand so much approximately this, like you wrote the e book in it or something. I believe that you just could do with a few p.c. to force the message house a bit, however instead of that, this is wonderful blog. An excellent read. I’ll definitely be back.

In reply to Alex. Antsy = addiction!!! You've got it, Alex!!! However yes you bring up valid points to diffuse the negative connotation of the word "addiction." For some people it is an *absolute* necessity because of financial restrictions! You definitely took advantage when you bought your first home. I'd love to see pictures! Feel free to email and/or post some of your thrifted home decor finds on the fanpage? xx

Thrifting became way more fun for me again once we got our first home. Because suddenly it wasn’t just my high school bedroom/wardrobe I had to re-do, it was an entirely blank canvas of a home I could redecorate with as I wanted. I literally have weekly stop in’s before grocery day at our adjacent thrift stores on the way. It’s like a routine. I get antsy if I can’t make it. Great blog BTW!!

Just found your blog, and loving your articles so far :D Its always great to find some fellow thrifters.

Growing up my mother had the personal moto ‘just because we’re poor, doesn’t mean we have to look it.’ which she applied to everything. Thifting is just so ingrained in my life that I find it hard to believe that people don’t! :D ‘I hunted for hours and found this beauty hiding at the back.’ is so much more rewarding than ‘I was walking past Valley Girl, and this was in the window’

Now if you’ll excuse me, I haven’t thrifted for a couple of weeks, and I’m starting to go through withdrawls ;)

Ditto! Love your post and blog. I’m a newly thrift shopping addict!!! Another reason I thrift is b/c it supports programs to help those less fortunate AND it’s more environmentally friendly than buying new clothes. Buy buying used clothes, it prevents them from going to landfills and adding to non-biodegradable consumer waste. All the more reason to thrift! =)

omg. You’ve nailed it. I’m so glad you took the time to write all of this. I’m going to mull it over (I’ve been considering my own addictive behavior of late) and respond on my blog later this week.

Thanks!

Considering I went to Atlanta yesterday and shopped the whole day long at two different thrift stores, I’d have to admit it was like getting a good fix! The fun part is that I was mainly shopping for nice sweaters for my grandson and granddaughter who are living in Colorado now. I scored big time on good name brand sweaters that are perfect for Colorado. But, of course, I had to garner some more vintage for my collection, as if I need any more!
