DANNA QUINTERO\/THE REPORTER<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These items certainly have a significantly cheaper price, but at the expense of being pre-owned or pre-loved, as many prefer to call it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I\u2019ve had incredible success at garage sales, so wherever you see one make sure to stop and check for hidden gems.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Garage sales cut out the middleman and put you close to the original owner of a lot of goods you could\u2019ve seen at the thrift store.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But that\u2019s not all, another advantage of garage sales is, unlike thrift stores where people can get to the coolest things first and items are sorted by staff, garage sales ensure that only a select few who just so happen to see the sign get to sort through the pool of items.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yet, the consistency of thrift stores makes up for some of that. I do have to say that thrift stores sort items for you and constantly restock shelves with new donations, something that garage sales just can\u2019t do.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Think of garage sales as bright, shimmering supernovas while thrift stores are the sun. The sun is safe although not as beautiful as the supernova, but you know it\u2019s always going to be there.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Online thrift stores are also special. You\u2019ll find amazing clothes, just at a significant markup from typical thrift store prices and all in the comfort of your home. A good online thrift store I frequent is <\/span><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><a style=\"color: #3366ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thrftstore.com\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thrift Store Vintage<\/span><\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The thrift stores I\u2019ve had the most success at are consistently good and constantly restock with even better finds.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One example of that is the Salvation Army on Bird Road and 97th Ave. Great, yet inexpensive furniture, dirt cheap movies and about 30 racks worth of clothing to sift through. Merchandise at that location is marked down by 50% on Saturdays.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I\u2019d also like to note that when it comes to thrifting, Goodwill is a store often brought up. I say stay away from them because the finds aren\u2019t as good, unless you want to buy denim.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You are better off going to a specialty store or locally owned thrift store like Flamingo Vintage Pound located on 901 east 10th Ave in Hialeah. I\u2019ve been a fan of it since they were located in Wynwood.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s an amazing place and if you want great finds at great prices that\u2019s the place to go.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If CDs are your thing, I highly recommend the Salvation Army. I\u2019ve found around $60 worth of CDs in phenomenal quality.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thrifting takes time and patience.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You must be willing to go to multiple stores and look through tons of racks filled with outdated and seemingly archaic fashions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But it gives you the chance to find some super unique pieces that you would never find at department stores, not to mention, at affordable prices.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I encourage exploration in your journey for gold. Miami is a buzzing city with many open shops.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_30227\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-30227\" style=\"width: 1200px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-30227\" src=\"https:\/\/mdcthereporter.com\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Thrift-by-the-Pound-15_web.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mdcthereporter.com\/staging\/8357\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Thrift-by-the-Pound-15_web.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/mdcthereporter.com\/staging\/8357\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Thrift-by-the-Pound-15_web-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mdcthereporter.com\/staging\/8357\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Thrift-by-the-Pound-15_web-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/mdcthereporter.com\/staging\/8357\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Thrift-by-the-Pound-15_web-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-30227\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Thrifting For Gold: These modestly priced blazers at Thrift By The Pound in Hialeah are examples of some of the finds you can discover while thrifting.
