3. Visit Thrift Stores
Visiting thrift shops can reveal surprising bargains for your home makeover. Whether you opt for high street charity shops, or warehouses filled with secondhand steals, if you rock up on the right day, there’s no telling what you’ll find!
Many charities also offer shops exclusively dedicated to secondhand furniture, which can be a great source for finding pieces to upcycle. You can use these pieces of furniture to repaint and repurpose, or else dismantle and use for material for other household projects.
4. Use Vinted
Vinted is one of the internet’s best kept thrifting secrets, and is one of the easiest ways to get your hands on some solid bargains for your home.
You can opt to buy a single item from a buyer, or purchase a bundle for a discounted price and a lump postage sum. This is what makes Vinted stand out from many other online marketplaces.
5. Keep an Eye on Seasonal Sales
The seasonal sales come and go every year, usually after christmas and at the end of the summer season. During this time, you can usually find bargains to grab and go from most retailers that will be marked down significantly.
To make the most of high street sales, be sure to get down there at opening time on the first day of sales to grab the best items before they sell out. Some retailers will release the date of their sales in advance, so bookmarking these in your calendar will help you stay organised.
You could also budget for a few months in advance of the sales to give yourself an extra few pennies to spend that won’t affect your budget.
