Thrifting 101 with the Twin Cities' best 'treasure' hunters
Star Tribune: Amanda Baumann is a pro.
She doesn’t go to a thrift store without filling her vintage leather Coach backpack with the essentials: spray hand sanitizer (lavender-scented); a measuring tape; a few reusable nylon tote bags; headphones; store member cards and coupons; a snack and some gum.
“It can be overwhelming at first,” she said. “But I think you just need to take your time: aisle by aisle, rack by rack. Think of it as a treasure hunt. Put on your headphones, listen to your favorite music, and get lost in the hunt.”
