Thrift stores and consignment shops can be found just about anywhere in the world. Every town, no matter how small, has its own locally run thrift stores and sometimes even some chains. Thrift stores do some pretty great things for the community by reducing waste by allowing people to donate items they don't need anymore. Of course, folks can find many interesting items they didn't even know they needed. A lot of the time these stores also donate to charities, making them good all around.

Half of the fun of thrifting is not knowing what might be in the store on any given day. There are always surprises to be found and fun treasures to discover. Sometimes, there is nothing but odd trinkets and strange clothing items, which is fun. Other times, there are some insane jackpots no one would have ever thought to have been donated. It is so worth it to take a day and spend it browsing the thrift stores.

Here are some interesting, expensive, and odd thrift store finds people spotted, bought, and shared online for all to see. Use these images as inspiration to go thrifting this weekend, you might find something amazing.
