Shopping at thrift stores isn’t just about saving money anymore. It’s actually a great way to help the environment. And let’s face it: Finding that perfect vintage item buried in an overstuffed rack is such a thrill.

Here are a few places to stop when looking for those perfect pieces to take your wardrobe to the next level.

Deseret Industries Thrift Store

This thrift store is on a mission to offer one of the best thrifting experiences in the region, as well as to help the community. Their employment program gives associates valuable work experience, as well as career and technical education. Items that do not end up on the sales floor are donated to humanitarian relief efforts. Deseret carries every type of item you can imagine, and yes, a huge selection of clothing – all at affordable prices. Head over to their West Jordan location and see what’s on the rack.

Savers

Drop by the South Jordan Towne Center to visit this popular thrift store – one that understands the thrill of finding that one-of-a-kind item. Not only do they keep a huge stock of clothing on hand, but they offer dedicated customers a chance to join the Super Savers Club, which allows you to earn points that you can put toward future purchases. They even have a text service that will alert you when new items arrive. And perhaps best of all, they offer a 20% discount on a purchase following a donation, which means you can “responsibly declutter” and get a great deal on some new and exciting additions to your wardrobe.

Assistance League Thrift Shop

Head over to Salt Lake City to visit this expansive thrift shop which carries a huge variety of clothing. New items come onto the floor every single day, so each time you visit, you’ll have the chance to find that next exciting buy. The profits from this thrift shop go toward the Assistance League’s community betterment projects which include providing urgent dental care for teens and children, musical camaraderie for seniors, and making sure children in need have new clothes for school. Sixty-five percent of the funding that makes the League’s programs possible come from this shop – so every time you buy something, you are helping the community.
