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. People can also find cool things they want or need at a lower price. 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 to be found but odd little trinkets, which can be fun, too. 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.

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.
