30 Lucky Finds People Made In Thrift Stores

One of the most fun things about thrift shopping is not knowing what you are going to find. A dinosaur phone? Sure. A 12 foot tall Elvis head? Why not. You have to agree that thrift stores truly are a gift that keeps on giving. People even started sharing their weirdest finds in a Facebook group called "Weird Second Hand Finds that just need to be shared" and so far the group has over 215k members and counting.

Brought them to the US from Europe when I moved back home in 2001, and stored them with a relative. After a rift in the family, I considered them a loss. Here they are, nearly 20 years later, in a 2nd hand store. Though they may be much worse for the wear, they’re coming home with me (again)."

Image source: Wendy Vermeers "My absolute favorite Goodwill purse find that I wear a LOT! It's a 3D flat purse. I had wanted one for a really long time, but they're normally $75 brand new. This one still had the plastic sheeting on the buttons and was never worn. I think I paid $7-$8!!! It's surprisingly roomy inside. MAGIC! EDIT: This is an original Jump From Paper bag. Yes, I know there's cheap ones online, but those are knock offs. Please love and support your designers and artists by buying originals. Ok, off my soap box. Thanks!"
