Our What a Find Winners

COOKERS AND PICTURES & VINTAGE, OH MY!

Happy Thursday Thrift Fans! Here at Thrift Town, we love hearing from you, our loyal and thrifty customers. It’s so great to see pictures & hear the stories behind the treasures you find and the creative ways you incorporate them into your lives. Thrift Town’s quarterly “What a Find” contest is a great way for us to show off what you all have sent in and celebrate thrift together.

As always, it was hard to choose for each category, but we’ve narrowed it down and notified the lucky winners. Whether it’s finding that special piece for your special interest, getting stylish high-end fashion for way less, or using thrifted items as the starting point for your artistic creations, our winners show off what we love about shopping secondhand at Thrift Town.

Each of our featured winners received a $25 Thrift Town Gift Card prize.
This is an ongoing contest for us, so if you have something fabulous to share
– send it in! We just debuted a new category; ”What the Thrift?  Craziest Thrift Find!”

———AND THE WINNERS ARE ———–

BEST Housewares : Eva A. from Grand Prairie, TX

My pressure cooker I had for 12 years blew up on me one day. Shortly after,  I went to Thrift Town and walked by the house wares on my way to the baby clothes. I saw something that caught my eye and lo and behold it was a brand new pressure cooker.

Even better: you can choose to use it as a pressure cooker, slow cooker or just use it as a warmer. I went home and looked it up online and saw that it sells on QVC for $120.00! The Thrift town price was $24.95, but I paid and used my Super Shopper card and got $10.00 off. It truly was a GREAT FIND!

I’d like to think that Thrift Town puts the FUN back in Functional. Finding great housewares is such a gratifying thing: great price & value on something you need. Enojy!

Best DIY:  Jennifer H. Arlington, TX

I was wandering around the store looking for items that I could maybe freshen up for my and my boyfriend’s new apartment when I came across this 70s inspired side table/coffee table for only $7.99!

I was so intrigued by the 2 levels and the shape of the legs. I walked away to look at other items, but I was just drawn back to the table. I grabbed it up and within a couple of days I had this beautiful AFTER creation!

Our customers’ creativity is always so fun to see!
We’re happy to be the starting point for many creative endeavors.

BEST FASHION FIND: Joseph T.,  North Richland Hills, TX

Best Bargain Winner: Sylvie S., El Sobrante, CA

First off, I want to tell you what a H-U-G-E fan I am of Thrift Town. I LOVE LOVE LOVE you guys!

My incredible find: An exquisitely gorgeous vintage woman’s Salvatore Ferragamo coat.
It’s a rich raspberry red color and soft unlined wool.

The cut is interesting with raglan-type sleeves that you can roll up.  The buttons have the Ferragamo logo on them.  This coat is a stunner.  The best part — Thrift Town does it again.  It cost me a whopping measly $12.50 (it was marked down half price from $24.99).  WHAT A DEAL!!!  – a new Ferragamo coat can be a couple thousand bucks, not that you could even normally buy this coat because it’s vintage.

It’s so great when a customer comes in, finds something they love, and it also ends up being really valuable. It’s like a double-win. Enjoy your jacket!
