Reply to comment by aboutsider in Hiya!! Just moved to Pittsburgh (Squirrel hill area) a few months ago. I love thrifting & hate buying new (clothes mostly). Any good places to thrift around here?? Thank youuuuu:))) by [deleted]

I absolutely agree. I can get stuff for nicer quality for a quarter of the price back home when I go thrifting. It really irks me!!

I’ve never seen high quality anything at a Pittsburgh thrift shop. We have some things and stuff at the vintage retail shops, but those are not thrift stores.

I'm sorry that your searches have been fruitless.

Also, you do know that those vintage stores go to local thrift stores and pick through all the good shit, right? When you pay higher prices at a vintage store, you're basically paying someone to buy up cheap thrift store stuff and sell it to you in a fancy boutique.
