Want to save money and be more sustainable and mindful this holiday season? You
should try thrifting.

Thrifting was created many decades back as a way to keep items out of the landfill and serve lower-class communities.

The etymology of the word “thrift” comes from the 1300s Middle English “fact or
condition of thriving” and “prosperity, savings.” Its origins can be seen as growing not
from desperation, but from using resources carefully to prosper. -“State Press”
