Thrifting Tips for National Thrift Shop Day on August 17th!

August 14, 2025/ToniOnThrifting.com/Leave a comment

Thrifting is a great joy to me, and I am very passionate about it. I am thrilled we get to celebrate it on August 17th. I think it should be a national holiday, don’t you? I wanted to remind you of tips, tricks, and advice for thrifting or making purposeful donations. I hope you find them helpful. Let’s live by the reduce, reuse, and recycle motto and live sustainably.

First and foremost, let’s be kind to one another. Some thrift shops are small; if two people browse the same rack, please don’t overreach. We will all get a turn.

Merchandise is also very geographical, so go out of your area, and you will be surprised at how different (in a good way) the merchandise is.

Please do not haggle when shopping at small, independent, charitable thrift stores. Every penny they make goes back into their community, whether to a food bank, back-to-school supplies, services for the elderly, or so much more. Every dollar earned is another dollar to help someone truly in need.

Be kind to anyone who works at a thrift shop, especially charity thrift shops. Most are volunteers, and a little appreciation goes a long way.

Always visit estate sales later in the day unless you have something specific in mind that was advertised. You’re more likely to get a lower price because the sales staff doesn’t want to pack up more than they must after a sale.

Keep cell phone conversations to a minimum. Some thrift stores are small, and you take the fun out of a person’s adventure by loudly talking on your phone.

The fundamental rule of donating with a purpose is NOT to leave donations outside thrift stores after hours. They then become unusable and must be thrown away, which defeats the purpose of donating and the workers’ effort to discard them. This is one of the most significant issues facing thrift shops today.

Do not donate anything ripped, torn, stained, or unusable. Remember, if you wouldn’t buy it yourself, don’t donate it.

Always ensure that the thrift shop you donate to accepts all your donations.

The way we donate can positively influence the environment, especially in our local communities. When we donate purposefully, we play an essential role in extending the life of items we no longer need, helping to protect this beautiful planet for future generations.

Until next time, Happy Thrifting!

How Thrift Shopping is Changing in 2025

May 4, 2025May 19, 2025/ToniOnThrifting.com/1 Comment

According to the Thred Up 2024 Annual Report, two-fifths of the clothing items purchased were secondhand. The report also states that 55% of consumers say that if the economy doesn’t improve, they’ll spend more of their apparel budget on secondhand, and 60% say shopping for secondhand apparel gives them the most bang for their buck.

I have seen this increase in the number of people shopping in the thrift stores I visit; prices are starting to increase in some stores. Some thrift store managers state that more resellers than ever are shopping to increase their inventory; quite a few thrift stores are now checking Poshmark and eBay to see what their items are worth and adjusting their pricing. The demand for second-hand clothing is increasing dramatically every year. I know of one thrift store that has adjusted its pricing by charging Poshmark prices. Rummage sales and thrift stores have special sections with new items with tags and designer merchandise. It is a sign of this new thrifting era.

With this many people shopping secondhand, it is harder to find the bargains of yesteryear, but don’t despair. There are still plenty of bargains out there; it just takes a world of patience now. I love local rummage sales, especially when the money goes back into the community (The same for smaller independent stores, where the money goes right back into the community). Rummage sales are gaining in popularity by leaps and bounds. I recently went to a rummage sale in Westchester County that started at 9 am. I got there at 8:30 am to get in line, and there were 64 people ahead of me. That was unheard of just a few years ago. The good news is that most rummage sales have fixed pricing on clothing and shoes. Fixed pricing usually does not include high-end merchandise, but if it does, jackpot! Patience and a good eye will always be the key to excellent thrift shopping scores.

Thrift store shoppers save approximately $1,760 each year by making purchases secondhand. Approximately one-third of clothing and apparel items purchased in the U.S. over the past year were secondhand. In 2023, the U.S. secondhand market generated an estimated $53 billion in revenue. Resellers are also taking advantage of the booming thrifting business. For some, it is a full-time business; for others, it is a way to make ends meet.

I still love the thrill of the hunt when thrift shopping and seeing so many people that I have become friendly with on the thrifting circuit. So go out there and REDUCE, REUSE, AND RECYCLE, and most of all, enjoy finding those great bargains that we all love to brag about and show off. There are still plenty of bargains out there. So keep thrifting!

The Habitat NYC and Westchester Restore in Yonkers just celebrated its first anniversary, and they have much to celebrate.

October 30, 2024October 30, 2024/ToniOnThrifting.com/Leave a comment

After visiting the Habitat NYC and Westchester Restore in Yonkers, New York, I can see why. The store is jam-packed with furniture, appliances, building materials, kitchen cabinets, paint, home décor, and more. These are overstock and second-hand high-quality items donated to the Restore, all at 50 to 80% off original retail pricing. They have an additional store in Queens. The merchandise is quite impressive, with so many options. Join their Facebook page to see new items posted for sale: Their page is Habitat NYC and Westchester Restore.

If you or someone you know is getting their first home, first apartment, going back to school, or tragically, a victim of floods or fire, this is the place to get furniture and other home supplies at a fraction of what you would pay at a retailer. I saw beautiful couches, loveseats, and chairs: paint, some hardware, appliances, and lots of home décor. The staff is accommodating and kind. On. A recent weekend, I was in the store where families bought furniture and other items, and everything was seamless. It was busy, but each person/group received the staff’s undivided attention.

I spoke to Harris (pictured), the manager, who is equally passionate about Habitat for Humanity New York City, Westchester, and the ReStore. You can tell by going through the store how much Harris and everyone who works there cares about what they do and the people they do it for.

More about the Habitat for Humanity NYC and Westchester. Habitat NYC and Westchester create, preserve, and advocate for healthy, affordable homes and the generational equity-building opportunities homeownership provides.

Here are some great ways that you can get involved and help Habitat for Humanity:

Donate:

Whether you’re renovating your home, cleaning out your garage, downsizing or decluttering, Habitat NYC and Westchester’s ReStore will pick up and remove your gently used furniture, building materials, appliances, cabinetry, countertops, and household items. Pick-up is available!

Shop:

For your next DIY project, shop at the Habitat ReStore! You’ll be able to purchase necessary items at a steep discount, and your purchase will help Habitat NYC and Westchester build more homes.

Volunteer:

Join the team as a ReStore volunteer! It’s a perfect fit for community members interested in retail sales, interior design, or do-it-yourself projects and people simply interested in making a difference in the community. Volunteer opportunities include helping as a retail associate, doing donation pick-ups, refinishing furniture, and much more.

I thoroughly enjoyed my visit. I loved all the items on display and the store’s vibe and feel. I admire that the ReStore has diverted over 3,000 tons of waste from landfills. Do you need a better reason to shop the Restore than helping save the planet and help families in need? You can shop at either the Yonkers or Queens location. Both have outstanding merchandise.

Visit the website at http://www.habitatnycwc.org for more information and their hours of operation.

August 17th is National Thrift Shop Day

August 17, 2024August 17, 2024/ToniOnThrifting.com/Leave a comment

August 17th is National Thrift Shop Day. We all know that I think it should be a national holiday. I love my thrift shopping – both shopping and writing about it. Why do people love thrift shopping? Why do I love thrift shopping? The thrill of the hunt is looking for that great find. The chance to create your style and make a fashion statement. The ability to save money by not shopping in expensive department stores. Secondhand and vintage clothes are better quality than today’s fast fashion. Even thrift stores have sales. Help your community by supporting local thrift shops that use their proceeds to help people in their communities. It gives you a chance to keep updating your wardrobe at reasonable prices. If you dislike a purchase, you can donate it right back.

Most importantly, by thrift shopping, you are saving the planet and keeping clothes out of landfills. These are just some of the reasons why we all love thrift shopping. I have been thrift shopping for over forty years, and it brings me great joy and is my passion. There is no better way to enjoy a few hours than by going to a thrift shop and just looking through all the racks hoping to find those unique pieces that I will buy and love for years to come.

Happy National Thrift Shop Day!!

St. Patrick’s Thrift Shop in Verplanck, New York – a popular stop on the Verplanck thrift crawl

March 2, 2024March 2, 2024/ToniOnThrifting.com/Leave a comment

St. Patrick’s Thrift Shop in Verplanck was always a pleasure, but now that they have doubled their size, it is an even better thrifting experience. The newly expanded space has beautifully displayed linens, décor, and household items. Their best seller is still their wide selection of men’s and women’s clothing. They also carry shoes, accessories, small furniture, and more. The shop is better than ever. They have a wide selection of merchandise, and I have always left the thrift shop with something special. That is why they have a steady stream of repeat customers who continually support them. It is very easy to support the thrift shop because it has a great selection and is continuously updated.

Margaret McKeon, the shop manager, opened the shop in October 1993. St. Patrick’s recently celebrated their 30^th anniversary. Margaret, a lifelong resident, has been a parishioner since she was baptized at St. Patrick’s church. St Patrick’s is an integral part of the Verplanck community, and their customers come from near and far to shop there and support them.

St. Patrick’s welcomes all gently used donations, especially clothing if they are clean and usable. St. Patrick’s is also giving away free prom shoes on April 19^th. While there, you can also shop for prom accessories. The event is from 4 pm until 7 pm.

Check out St. Patrick’s Facebook page to see a sampling of their new merchandise. I couldn’t see Margaret on my last visit, but I did see Marlene and Becky, two of the many amazing volunteers at St. Patrick’s.

Let It Shine Again (L.I.S.A.) Thrift Boutique in Verplanck. Great shopping with proceeds stocking The Pantry downstairs.

November 26, 2023November 26, 2023/ToniOnThrifting.com/3 Comments

I have been to the Let It Shine Again Thrift Boutique at least three or four times and have left happy with some great finds each time. It is not a large boutique but packed with excellent women’s clothes, gorgeous jewelry and accessories, and beautiful household merchandise. The last trip yielded me a Banana Republic skirt and a beautiful Ann Taylor Loft sweater — a classic and elegant outfit. I have done well on each trip to this fabulous boutique. All proceeds from the Let It Shine Again (L.I.S.A.) Thrift Boutique, go to The Pantry, a food pantry conveniently located downstairs from L.I.S.A. The Pantry serves Cortlandt residents on Fridays from 11 am until 3 pm and other local area residents right after.

I spoke to Kacey Morabito Grean, the founder of Let It Shine Again Thrift Boutique. With help from her sister, Maria Morabito, Kacey started a food pantry on January 1, 2019, because she heard some teachers were buying snacks for students who didn’t have them. Kacey and Maria organized a group of volunteers using the basement of Mt. Carmel Hall – in partnership with the Society of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel. Because the community was so generous- they began to shower their food shoppers with all kinds of good things: clothes – backpacks – and housewares!

The Shiny Nose Room dedicated to Christmas

Kacey often said, “If we only had a thrift store, we could really serve our shoppers”! The overworked volunteers would laugh and tell her to stop with “all her ideas.” One of her “ideas” was to create a nonprofit to fundraise for their work, supporting families and creating events like women’s weekends and vendor markets. Let It Shine Inc. was born in March of 2020.

One of the devoted (and most helpful) volunteers, Nancy with my thrift haul.

And then – Covid hit. They went from serving 60 food shoppers weekly to 125 cars lined up the road. They quickly outgrew the basement of Mt. Carmel Hall. Town of Cortlandt Councilman Frank Farrell was instrumental in getting a generous lease of the original Town Hall building. It has two floors – so they wasted no time emptying their basements and attics to open the L.I.S.A. Thrift Boutique in February of 2021.

L.I.S.A. is open Wednesday through Saturday, and on a good week, it brings in enough to cover the food bill for The Pantry. The bar is very high at LISA. They only take the best of the best donations. They have no storage space and few volunteers, so they must find the easiest way to do things!

Kacey says, “We can sum up our mission in two words. “Ahh” and “Wow.” When shoppers come into our pantry, we want them to feel “ahh”: ease and abundance.” Kacey also wants food shoppers to walk upstairs into the L.I.S.A.; “We want them to feel wow!” Kacey said, “Beauty is the gift that elevates the spirit. Raising the vibration is what Let It Shine is all about.”

Let It Shine also offers free acupuncture treatment to Cortlandt area residents undergoing cancer treatment. This initiative is called “Gracie’s Way. This is just part of the many initiatives that Let It Shine provides. They have a Holiday Market on Sunday, December 3^rd, from 11 am until 4 pm at Mt. Carmel Hall on 8^th Street at Highland Ave in Verplanck, New York. They are helping so many others that I am happy to get the word out so they make more money to feed more families. Kacey is doing a fantastic job, but as more families need help, so does Let It Shine. Your shopping dollars are helping feed families!

The Community Shop in Katonah – the shopping is excellent, and you are helping so many!

November 14, 2023/ToniOnThrifting.com/Leave a comment

The Community Shop in Katonah is a higher-end thrift shop, and it is impressive. They carry women’s clothes, shoes, and accessories. They also have men’s and children’s clothes and shoes. All the better brands are there, and inventory is constantly changing, which I can attest to. But what is more impressive is that all proceeds from the Community Shop go directly back to the Community Center. The Community Center of Northern Westchester currently supports 3,000 Northern Westchester struggling families by providing food and clothing assistance and the programs and resources to support their journey back to self-sufficiency.

I had the pleasure of speaking to Ann Hardy, the manager of the Community Shop. Ann had a consignment shop in Bedford Hills scheduled to close towards the end of February 2019. She donated all inventory (including the racks) from her shop to the Community Center, where all clothing donations are dropped off. She stayed on as a volunteer to help them open the Community Shop just one week later, in March 2019. After two months of volunteering and the shop being a success, she was hired by the Community Center as a full-time manager for the Community Shop. By talking to Ann, you can tell how passionate she is about her work and how the Community Shop’s proceeds go directly back into the community.

The Community Center in Katonah has been helping struggling families in Northern Westchester for over 30 years. All the clothing donations are donated through the Community Center, where there is a clothing boutique and food pantry where families can shop once a month without paying. It is helping families in great need while treating them with dignity and respect. Programs are offered for learning skills and language, among others, to help build a better life for the families they serve. Some other services/programs they provide are career counseling, free eye exams and eyeglasses, college application help, health screenings and flu shots, and citizen exam preparation. The Community Center has also provided comfort to over 600 seniors through food, clothing, and essential supplies.

Ninety-five percent of the clothing donations brought to the Community Center are given to needy families. The remaining small percentage is sent to the Community Shop where it is sold, and the money helps keep the food pantry stocked, programs running, and their doors open to help those in need. If you want to help, clothing is only accepted at the Community Center, located at 84 Bedford Road, Katonah. They welcome donations of clean, gently used, seasonal clothing, shoes, and linens. They accept fall and winter clothing from September through March and spring and summer clothing from March through August. (Unfortunately, the Center cannot accept undergarments, second-hand pajamas, uniforms, bathing suits, books, toys, or stuffed animals.) If you have donations of houseware items, please visit their friends at the Katonah Thrift Shop across the street at 71 Bedford Road in Katonah.

Ann Hardy and Linda, one of the volunteers from the Community Shop

They are currently having a SHARE THE WARMTH drive. During October and November, the Share the Warmth drive collects new gloves, hats, socks, and blankets for children (infants through age 18). They will distribute these items during December. They gratefully accept donations when the Center is open. Please see their Share the Warmth page for details about the program. I have only told you a fraction of what they do – visit their website to learn all they do for the Northern Westchester Community. https://communitycenternw.org/

The Community Shop is located at 196 Katonah Avenue and is open from Tuesdays to Saturdays, 11 AM until 5 PM. The number is 914.401.9163, and Ann Hardy’s email is ahardy@communitycenternw.org. Besides the great shopping at the Community Shop, you are helping the lives of so many families in their time of need.

Until next time, Happy Thrifting!

The Outreach Clothing Sale at the Church of St. Barnabas- One of the most popular sales in Westchester!

November 4, 2023November 4, 2023/ToniOnThrifting.com/2 Comments

The Outreach Clothing Sale has become one of the most popular and well-attended sales in Westchester County. This is because they have high-quality clothing at bargain basement prices. The sale opens to the public on Wednesday, November 8^th, and I assure you that there will be a long line starting early in the morning. It is well worth it to get the best merchandise. I have always found that I get the most for my money at this sale. This sale includes men’s and women’s clothing, shoes, and accessories. It covers a few rooms and has a boutique rack with designer and vintage items. The pictures featured are for next week’s sale!

This is also one sale where the men’s section is just as phenomenal as the women’s. Everything from tee shirts, shorts, polos, long and short-sleeve tops, sweaters, coats and jackets, pants and jeans, and so much more. And when you go, you must visit the shoe section. I purchased some nice boots a couple of years ago.

I spoke to Linda Pierpont, one of the founders of the sale and a parishioner for 34 years. The first sale was in 1995. It has grown significantly yearly, and the sale proceeds have reached over one million dollars. Just a few of the dozens of organizations that have received grants from St. Barnabas include ARC Westchester Foundation, Blthyedale Children’s Hospital, Greenburgh Nature Center, Irvington Senior Citizen Center, New Rochelle Humane Society, Phelps Hospice, Habitat for Humanity, Stephen Siller Tunnels to Towers Foundation and that is to name a few.

Linda said that two of the most significant aspects of the Outreach Clothing sale are the sustainability factor, which keeps clothes out of landfills and gives them new purpose, and the fact that she gets to work with such outstanding people with a common goal in mind of helping the planet and others. Linda also wanted me to mention that donations for this sale far exceeded last year’s donations, and there will be some great finds for all.

If you go to only a few sales a year, I must insist you take advantage of this one!! I hope the pictures give you an idea of what an extraordinary sale this is!!

For those who donated to the sale, the preview day is Tuesday, November 7^th – keep that in mind so next year you contribute to get in that extra day early!!!!

The Back Door Thrift Shop – Bargains Galore!

August 21, 2023August 21, 2023/ToniOnThrifting.com/Leave a comment

I have another great treasure for you in White Plains. The Back Door Thrift Shop on Greenridge Avenue is a real gem and one that you should visit. They have a variety of men’s and women’s clothing. They carry shoes, housewares, costume jewelry, accessories, home décor, and various other items. The clothing they sell varies from new to gently worn to vintage. The Back Door Thrift Shop has set pricing which to me is a great big plus in any thrift store. I will say that on each visit that I have made, I have walked out with at least two or three items of clothing. They DO NOT sell children’s toys, clothes, games, or accessories nor do they sell books.

What the Back Door Thrift Shop primarily does is price their clothing to accommodate people in the local community struggling so they have a place where they can buy nice clothing at very affordable prices. They also cater to the true “thrifties” like me who love to shop at places like this. The business has been steadily picking up with many of their long-term customers returning and through word of mouth (and hopefully this blog) they will attract a whole new clientele. They have customers that come from Brooklyn monthly (impressive as there is no shortage of thrift shops in Brooklyn) to see what the Back Door’s latest merchandise is.

I was able to sit down with Wendy, Chair of the Thrift Shop Committee who has been a volunteer at the thrift shop for eleven years and a member of the Hebrew Institute for 30 years. We talked about the Back Door Thrift Shop and its history. The Back Door Thrift Shop has been in existence for over 40 years. In 2019, the Hebrew Institute (home of the Back Door Thrift Shop) began a renovation/rebuild and they had to close. They had moved to a temporary location just a few blocks away and then Covid happened, and they had to close the temporary location. The shop was reopened in January 2023 in their completely renovated place (beautiful, spacious, and bright) which includes ground level direct entrance which is ADA compliant. Wendy collaborates closely with Deborah, a former Chair, and other committee members, to create an amazing shop and shopping experience which makes it a great team effort.

Proceeds from the shop are used to support synagogue programs and activities for youth, adults, families, and seniors plus it helps bring in outside scholars and lecturers. They are always looking for donations that can be donated during shop hours. See the website for specific donation details.

I think that you will love the Back Door Thrift Shop so help me spread the word because they are doing so much for so many!

Women’s Club of White Plains – their pop-up sales are incredible!

November 27, 2022December 2, 2022/ToniOnThrifting.com/Leave a comment

The Thrift Shop in White Plains had been in continuous operation since November 11, 1918. It had been the oldest thrift shop in New York State, possibly in the country. The idea of a Thrift Exchange, as it was called, grew out of the national desire to reuse and recycle items to aid the war effort. The original Thrift Exchange was held in the Tod Market on the corner of Court Street and Martine Avenue. The building is still in existence. In 1923 the Thrift Shop moved to a barn behind the old Preudhomme residence on Church Street. It remained at that location for 50 years until finally moving to its final place in the White Plains Presbyterian Church on North Broadway. The Shop was a 501c3 entity jointly owned by the Woman’s Club of White Plains, the Scarsdale Woman’s Club, and the Hitchcock Presbyterian Church in Scarsdale, with proceeds donated to local charities. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the Thrift Shop of White Plains was forced to close its doors and was disbanded in 2022. The Woman’s Club of White Plains will continue the Thrift Shop of White Plains tradition and operate out of its clubhouse at 305 Ridgeway in White Plains. Credit: https://www.womansclubofwhiteplains.org/about.html

The Woman’s Club of White Plains has pop-ups throughout the year and a regular shopping day on Tuesdays from 10 am until 12 pm. Their next pop-up is on Saturday, December 3rd, from 9 am until 1 pm. The selections are all high quality and priced to sell. I cannot emphasize enough that these pop-ups are not to be missed. As for me, I have purchased some fantastic pieces that have become favorites in my wardrobe. Prices start at $4.00 (yes, $4.00) and upwards for the regular shop items, with high-end/boutique items more than reasonably priced. They also carry shoes, men’s and women’s winter clothing, and accessories. They have beautiful housewares and hosting serveware not to be missed. They will also be carrying high-end Christmas décor at the pop-up. The pictures shown are from one of their most recent pop-ups.

The volunteers are incredible, friendly, and helpful. They arrange areas for you to try on clothes (a major plus) and are devoted to raising money to help people in need in White Plains. I recently spoke to Judy Korman, Chair of the Thrift Shop and Marking, and I commend her on the great work the Woman’s Club of White Plains is doing and ALL the local charities that benefit from the work of these incredible women. Some of the previous recipients of their philanthropy include the White Plains Library, the YWCA, victims of domestic violence, and so many others.

There are also some fantastic and fun events to promote the thrift shop. They recently hosted a Sip & Swap where you can bring clothes and accessories to donate and take home donated items. They provide drinks and bites; if you are not a member, the great price is $10.00 for entry. I missed the last one but planned on being at the next one.
