If Value Village gets 1 million people to choose a thrifted t-shirt in place of a new one, it\u2019ll be the equivalent of saving over 1,000 Olympic-sized swimming pools full of water, before the first bell rings.<br \/>\nPeople can show off their thrifted tees and support this effort by using the hashtag #IGiveaShirt.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Back-to-School Savings <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The National Retail Federation reported that parents plan to spend over $360 on clothing and shoes in 2016 \u2013 but there\u2019s no need to spend that much. Knowing how quickly kids go through clothing, shoes, books and toys, shoppers choosing thrift help the environment and their pocketbook too. In fact, shoppers can save 70-90 percent on back-to-school basics compared to other retailers, with a full wardrobe for $100 or less. 96 percent of all items sold at Savers are priced under $10 and the average sale price of items in the kids section are $3.00.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"35264\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/goodlifevancouver.com\/staging\/2138\/back-school-value-village\/20160808_153725-02\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/goodlifevancouver.com\/staging\/2138\/wp-content\/uploads\/20160808_153725-02.jpeg?fit=1200%2C1020&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1200,1020\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;1.9&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;SM-N920W8&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1470670645&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;4.3&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;160&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.03030303030303&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Value Village\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/goodlifevancouver.com\/staging\/2138\/wp-content\/uploads\/20160808_153725-02.jpeg?fit=788%2C669&amp;ssl=1\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft size-large wp-image-35264\" title=\"Value Village\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/goodlifevancouver.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/20160808_153725-02-1024x870.jpeg?resize=474%2C403\" alt=\"Value Village\" width=\"474\" height=\"403\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/goodlifevancouver.com\/staging\/2138\/wp-content\/uploads\/20160808_153725-02.jpeg?resize=1024%2C870&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/goodlifevancouver.com\/staging\/2138\/wp-content\/uploads\/20160808_153725-02.jpeg?resize=300%2C255&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/goodlifevancouver.com\/staging\/2138\/wp-content\/uploads\/20160808_153725-02.jpeg?resize=768%2C653&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/goodlifevancouver.com\/staging\/2138\/wp-content\/uploads\/20160808_153725-02.jpeg?w=1200&amp;ssl=1 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 474px) 100vw, 474px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I checked out Value Village recently and here&#8217;s what $50 got me!

You might go in for a dress and come out with an awesome top instead.<\/li>\n<li>While you\u2019re thrift hunting, look for timeless pieces. Denim, cashmere and silk are fabrics that will never go out of style and can be purchased secondhand for much less than buying new! Also keep in mind that interesting prints are always a fun trend to incorporate and Savers is the perfect place to find those unique pieces.<\/li>\n<li>Browse a department you wouldn\u2019t usually shop in and don\u2019t limit yourself to size. Some of the best blazers, cardigans and shirts for women can be found in the men\u2019s or boy\u2019s departments. Interesting fashions can also be found by taking something in a larger size and adding a belt.<\/li>\n<li>Get creative and look beyond the clothing that is right in front of you. A little DIY magic can give just about any secondhand clothing item a fresh breath of new life. You can take a skirt or men\u2019s shirt, add a belt and you have a brand new dress!<\/li>\n<li>Wear something simple, such as flats, leggings and a tank top so that you can try items on as you shop.<\/li>\n<li>When in doubt\u2014grab it, and try it on. You never know!<\/li>\n<li>Don\u2019t be shy and look closely at clothing and accessory items so that you can get a sense of the quality and craftsmanship. For example, look for textiles made in the USA, Canada, Italy and Spain \u2013 known for high quality fabrics and leather goods.<\/li>\n<li>Thrift shopping is always better with friends! Bring a few shopping buddies and make it a competition to see who picks up the best hidden thrift treasure.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The\u00a0#IGiveAShirt Campaign By Value Village This back-to-school shopping season, Value Village is challenging people to come together to save 700 million gallons of water through one simple act: replacing one new t-shirt purchase with a thrifted one.
