3. Visit a variety of thrift stores and antique stores

2. Enlist the help of a friend to act as a second set of eyes.

It's usually a good idea to bring a friend with you to a thrift store, flea market, or yard sale. Because there are so many goods crammed into such a small space, it can be not easy to keep track of it all. It's similar to browsing through one of those I Spy books. The majority of consumers do not take the time to look at every single item on a shelf. For one thing, they don't want to take up too much space since it means you're not allowing other customers to come in.

If you have a friend with you, they can act as a second set of eyes to assist you in finding those incredible bargains. Make a game plan before you enter a thrift store. Discuss the products you're looking for in detail. All the better if one person finds what the other is seeking. You can only realize the dream with the help of others. However, I hope your friend isn't competing with you for the same stuff. Most of the time, you should be able to locate someone to shop with who will not steal your bargains.
