What are your favorite things to thrift? We love shopping secondhand first for things like:
🖼️Photo and art frames of all sizes
🛋️Home goods
🎃Holiday stuff (whether it’s a plastic pumpkin bucket, ugly holiday sweater, or ribbons and bows, we’ve seen them all at the thrift!)
🎉Event or party supplies you might not use every day
Buying secondhand stuff isn’t just practical (as in, it saves money, reduces waste, and is often super convenient). It’s also a chance to score super cool and unique finds!

Say it with us: Before you recycle, rinse and shake! 📣 In other words, empty and rinse your recyclable containers before recycling them.
✅Use up the last of what’s inside.
✅Rinse the container (pro tip: add a little water and dish soap, replace the lid, and give it a good shake). For sticky stuff, you can use a spatula to scrape out remaining residue.
✅When you’re done rinsing, dump out the water, replace the lid, and recycle the empty container!
