How to be a Savvy-Shopper

      As I have said in earlier blog posts, I am always trying to find the best deals on everything. Whether it be from clothes to shoes to makeup- anything. Why pay top dollar for something that you can buy for way less and it still being the same quality? I have came up with a few ways and stores where you can get what you want without going home broke.
      The first store that I love is the Goodwill. I know, many of you are thinking, "Ew, I would never shop at a thrift store" or, "Gross, why would I buy something that someone has already worn?" Well, to set the record straight, Goodwill is actually an awesome place to get vintage looks at! I shop there quite frequently and find flannels, dresses, and other tops that are very trendy. Not to mention I get compliments on my outfits that I buy there, having people stunned when I tell them that I only paid about 4 dollars for it. I also have made the notorious high waisted shorts that every girl seems to be wearing nowadays. Just buy a pair of high waisted jeans, cut them to the length you would like and, BOOM, you are now hip and trendy, only spending about 5 dollars.
      Another store that I like is Platos Closet. I do not visit Platos as much as I go to Goodwill, but they still have great items. Like Goodwill, it is a thrift shop, with gently worn clothes; but the difference between these two stores is that at Platos it only sells teen clothing (shirts, dresses, jeans, shorts, shoes, etc.) while at Goodwill they sell more of the older generation clothing with some home good products thrown in the mix. Something else that is unique about Platos is that you can sell your clothes to them! What's better than getting a little money off of the stuff that is just now taking up closet space?
