As the temperatures drop outside, there are cool items and frosty deals inside Hole in the Wall! Why do people shop thrift, consign, and secondhand? Patty Sullivan, manager of the Guilford A Better Chance shop has powerful answers.
“While shopping at Hole in the Wall you save money, help the planet and support the community. Each thrifted gem helps keep it out of landfills and recycles and reuses,” she affirms.
And there’s more! “Items are affordable and unique. Secondhand shopping makes quality, one-of-a-king items accessible that can’t be found in fast fashion. We may have a new Target and TJ Maxx in town, but you can come to Hole in the Wall and find items purchased at those places with the tags still on them for at least half the price.”
Shopping at this exciting place has personal benefits, too. “Thrifters love the hunt for the greatest bargain and finding just the exact unique treasure. We often hear shoppers say, ‘This is the perfect gift or my friend loves these.’ It’s a wonderful way to offer someone a I was thinking of you gift without breaking the bank,” Patty says.
Patty has some delicious advice: “Bake some cookies or a cake and put them on a plate/platter you buy from our popular Dollar Rack. (Yes… items that are really only a dollar!) No need to have the plate returned, it becomes part of the gift!”
Patty loves her work at this fun place to shop. “Every dollar you spend at Hole in the Wall has the added bonus of supporting the amazing scholars at Guilford A Better Chance. Stop in soon for a new-to-you winter coat or unique holiday gift for someone; JUST BECAUSE!” t
