Sometimes, seeing is believing. This is true for a bunch of things in life, like that person you met on Tinder but aren’t completely sure about, or that dish from that restaurant you always see in Siri’s suggestions but aren’t completely sure about trying. This is due to reliability and trust, and it’s the same reason we order the same Honey BBQ chicken melt every time we go to Friendly’s despite staring at the menu for a meaningless 10 minutes before getting what you knew you wanted when you entered the Friendly’s parking lot. Witnessing and experiencing something first hand is unlike any other feeling of validation.
Therefore, I told myself that this week, I would provide some pretty interesting video for everyone . So, this video will feature a story of someone who has achieved the pinnacle of the thrifting lifestyle: to furnish and fill your entire home with thrifted items. Linda Brown is a woman who frequents my local Goodwill, and is literally ALWAYS entrenched within the aisles her Goodwill barracks. I got the chance to ask her a few questions, and she spoke to me about her start in thrift, how she became interested, what are some of her most proudest thrift finds, and a few tips and tricks for any beginners at thrifting.
Speaking to Ms. Brown was more inspirational than anything, as the conversation she provided and visibly passion she exuded were contagiously infectious. My hope is that everyone can get as much joy as I did from this video of Ms. Brown and her story. It is the people like Ms. Brown who have cultivated the culture of thrift that we revel in today, and I am most certainly thankful to her, and for that culture itself, as it is so important to all of us here at the Throne of Thrift.
