Bryan Grant+FollowWhy Thrift Stores Are Closing Up ShopHeads up, bargain hunters: Goodwill is shutting down 13 stores in California, and it’s not just about old sweaters. With folks reselling their own stuff online to make ends meet, fewer donations are coming in. That means less inventory and higher prices at thrift stores—sometimes it’s actually cheaper to buy new at Walmart! If you’re looking to declutter, now’s a good time to donate or sell, but don’t expect those thrift store steals like before. #ThriftStore #Goodwill #MoneyHacks #BudgetShopping #ResaleEconomy #Shopping465641Share
