Then, instead of digging through the dirt on a remote island, you dig through piles of clothing and items that are not to your liking, until you see something that shines like gold; or in the latter scenario, something that looks like a used Hermes bag in nearly mint condition, a kind of teapot you’ve been looking for everywhere, or a signed album of your favorite artist from the early 2000s. Nowadays, there is no one perfect treasure for everyone, as the thing that thrifters want or need the most differs with each person. And to show you just how diverse people’s treasures can get, we put together a list of some of the best finds shoppers have ever stumbled upon, and, of course, just had to share it with the ‘Thrift Store Hauls’ community. So wait no longer, scroll down to find them below—where you will also find Bored Panda’s interview with the founder of the subreddit—and make sure to upvote the best ones! Unsurprisingly, the person who created the sub is an avid thrift store visitor, too. “I do shop at thrift stores often,” they told Bored Panda in a recent interview. “I don’t generally look at clothes (I am 6'5" with long arms, so it’s hard to find clothes that fit). But I get a lot of kitchen stuff, board games, and electronics from thrift stores. I just really like looking at all the weird stuff they have, or stuff from my childhood. It is a form of entertainment to me.” But being able to save money when shopping is just part of the beauty of thrifting. “When thrifting, you will find things that aren’t really for sale anywhere else other than other eBay or other websites like FB marketplace. Generally, when you find something cool, it will be cheaper,” the head of ‘Thrift Store Hauls’ told Bored Panda. “In my opinion, the biggest difference is that walking around a thrift store is more entertaining than walking around a Target or Walmart.” Follow Bored Panda on Google News!
