Everyone loves a deal, whether it's a buffet or a coupon or a "two-for-one." But maybe the most beloved (and most traditional) deals are thrift shop deals.

Monday, August 17th, is National Thrift Shop Day. According to the National Day Calendar, a thrifty shop can be a "thrift store, charity shop, hospice shop, second-hand shop, consignment or resale shop." And, more often than not, it's a locally owned and operated establishment. Plus, these types of shops often have charitable aspects.
