Image via WikipediaI know some people draw the line when it comes to saving money on clothing, household goods, books and other items found in second-hand stores.
I think op-shopping (also known as thrift stores, second hand stores, charity stores and so on) can be likened to mining. If people weren't prepared to get down and dirty, dig deep and separate the treasures from the muck, we wouldn't have the beautiful minerals, metals and jewels that delight us so.
So, what do you think? Do you think it's worth getting down amongst the not-so-wonderful items in order to search for those precious gems just waiting to be found?
There is LOTS of money to be saved by doing this. It takes time. It takes perseverance. It even takes accepting defeat sometimes. But if you want to keep a few dollars in your pocket, there are some wonderful gems just waiting to be found and given a bit of a shine.
