Get discounted goods on National Thrift Store Day

On August 15, celebrate the positive impacts of shopping second-hand by buying yourself something pretty and on sale. The umbrella organization ReuseNYC is an association of New York City nonprofits that accept and redistribute donated goods, and 11 of its members, across all five boroughs, will participate in National Thrift Store Day by hosting store-wide sales. The shops range from large, nationwide names to smaller boutiques, which means, with just a little rack rummaging, you could score new-to-you furniture, designer dresses, books, art and more for practically a song. And remember, all the stores are nonprofits so whatever money you do spend is a good deed.
