Hello Tag Poppers, Thrift Shoppers, et al!!!
Today I went to the goodwill store in my neighborhood. I was looking for a cheap, but interesting tray for my cat's food and water dish. I found nothing that would work, but it brought to mind the fact that the goodwill store and other resale opportunities have more benefits than just cheaper 'buys'.
I was reminded how we are actually being green and protecting the environment. We are helping to slow down the growth of garbage in America (and Canada). When we shop at thrift stores we are recycling, reusing and saving the garbage dumps from more 'stufffff'!!
I have often found that some of the pieces that I have bought have proven to be more durable and better made than what I could find in the more current stores in existence today. This even includes the plastic and/or wood pieces that are for sale!
Another thought to keep in mind when shopping resale is that if you ever want a quick home renovation, just paint your walls and buy accent pieces from the goodwill or salvation army stores to pull a quick look together.
Happy Tagging Peeps
