In this 10:00 minute episode I describe the land of thrift store shopping in Chicago. I cover the four main thrift store chains in the Chicagoland area: The Village Discount Outlet, Salvation Army, Brown Elephant, and Unique Thrift Store. If you ever wondered what stores were best for specific items, what the average cost of thrifting is, or what to expect, this is the epsiode for you.
Here are the links I referenced:
