make it an experiment. Go to the thrift store with intention.
If you’ve never been to the thrift store before: go to one and wander the aisles without buying anything (unless something really catches your eye).
Just get used to being in that space and learning how it works (thrift stores are chaos in store form, but you can acclimate!)

Buy only what you absolutely LOVE. Leave whatever you feel “okay” about.
Do not bring anything home you have to fix.

I have so many random little trinkets (small paintings for my bathroom, jewellery dishes and even a little jewellery box shaped like a cushion with a cunty heel on top) — all of which were unexpected, slowly-collected finds at random thrift stores.
I second the previous comment about slow articulation. If you have the essentials, and are craving individual-niches — take your time :) which is prescriptive advice, but the effects of delayed gratification are like how paintings go up in a museum — with time, shuffling between here n there, and lots of patience
I also like going to winners or marshals or home sense for little strange things

a little time consuming if you don’t already thrift but every time i go i see if anything reminds me of my friends and i buy it and collect it through the year😝 it’s always the most interesting things and makes thrifting even more fun 😝 if you’re in a time crunch you might have to just spend a good full day searching

Always go on a full stomach. And also go on the “off-hours”—like late weekday nights instead of Saturday.
