As inflation continues to rise, the economy continues to struggle, and family budgets continue to tighten, Rachel’s asking a big question that’s no doubt on many minds:
Should I thrift?
A veteran thrift-store shopper herself, Rachel surveys the current landscape of brick-and-mortar thrift stores and breaks down the economic, environmental, ethical, and fashion implications of buying second-hand clothing. She then offers “pro tips for happy thrifting” and advice for Lutheran women and church groups for how to help “fix the thrifting system.”
