Shifting to Thrifting

I remember walking into Goodwill without a clue what I was doing— the only objective being to thrift. Thrifting had long since become popular, and I was late to the party, as usual. For years, my sister tried to get me to join her on her thrifting expeditions, but I wasn’t interested. I couldn’t see the appeal of sifting through clothes and items that once belonged to strangers, all for the slim chance of finding something I liked. Eventually, though, she came home with enough successful hauls that I decided I’d give this beloved hobby a try.
