589 - Thrifting with Purpose: Tips and Strategies for Finding Gems and Reducing Clutter - Part 1


Listen Later

Can thrifting and staying clutter-free go hand in hand?

Kathi Lipp and our podcast guest today say YES YOU CAN!

Meet Erin Handley: San Francisco Bay Area resident, full-time Pinterest employee, and long-time thrifting enthusiast. Kathi and Erin discuss how thrifting is not acquiring a bunch of items you don’t need. Thrifting gives us a chance to give something a new life or at least a second look. Join them as they dive into three questions to ask before you purchase that thrift store treasure that you have in your cart.

  1. Where will it go?
    • Sucker for cool art? Even if it’s cheap or you have to store it long term, say no.
  2. What is it for?
    • Need it for a project? Say yes, but is it going to happen in the next 60 days?
  3.  What does it improve?
    • Found a vase you love? Okay, but is there a vase you can part with at home?

Erin Handley’s house rule: if one thing comes in, one thing goes out.
