10. Find out where leftovers from local businesses are donated.

9. Bring your mother with you

As weird as it may seem, you must take your mother to the thrift store. It's not only because moms like to save money. (It also doesn't qualify her for the senior discount.) Your mother is likely to notice brands and objects that you were previously unaware of. My mother, who adores fine china and glassware, has taught me many different porcelain manufacturers. Because I listened to my mother, I know a lot more about this topic than the average 30-year-old.

Your mother might be passionate about fashion, vinyl albums, or everything else the thrift store has to offer. You can discover some incredible hidden riches by learning from an older age. Your mother will have a great time shopping with you, even if she isn't particularly materialistic.
