Thrift stores and consignment shops can be found everywhere 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. They also allow people to find things they need at a cheaper price. Many times, these stores also make donations to charity. All around, thrift stores are great places, and they can be a lot of fun to explore.

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 and obscure trinkets to be found, which is fun, let's face it. Other times, there are some insane jackpots no one would have ever thought to have been donated. Thrifting is worth the time people spend looking through the various odd items.

Some people thrift as a hobby, and they like to post their best finds online for all to see and marvel at. These 25 cool finds might inspire someone else to visit their own local thrift stores. There is never any saying what might wind up in one of the aisles.
