It’s the most wonderful time of the year. No, not the Housing Works Buy the Bag sale, that’s been put on hold until further notice. But it’s the return of the Salvation Army coat sale at the 46th Street location. I first went to this sale two years ago and it’s become my go to sale for amazing outerwear. If you’re not familiar with the sale, they open up their donation and loading dock area and convert it into a space that’s full of jackets, coats and vests for...

You guys may know that I’m the Savvy Shopper reporter for Pix 11 News in NYC. And I’ve got a great opportunity for one lucky reader/viewer to appear on camera with me for an upcoming segment. If you have a closet full of clothes that are just collecting dust and taking up space, why not revamp your wardrobe? I’m looking for a woman who will let me go through her closet and tell her how she can cash in on those old clothes. During the Pix 11 segment, we’ll find...

Over the past two years, some of you have asked me about opening an online shop. While I’m out thrifting I tend to post photos on Twitter or Facebook of great thrift store finds.

I just opened the Looking Fly on a Dime Shop. You can snag some designer and statement thrifted and vintage pieces at a fraction of what they’d originally cost. Right...

Last week I gave you the first part of my 10 Thrift Shopping Commandments and here’s the final five. They’re in no particular order as they’re all crucial to ensure a happy, productive thrifting experience. Would I Buy It At Full Price? This is the question you need to ask yourself before buying anything. Cheap prices can be mighty alluring so you want to be sure you’re not solely buying something because it’s a steal. Though a dress may be $2, it’ll be a total waste of cash...

Last week I showed you guys my thrifted finds for the month of January and I mentioned that I had to barter in order to snag two pieces. Well, learning the art of bartering is a great thrift shopping tip. While shopping at the Salvation Army, I found a feathered vintage robe that immediately caught my eye. It was only $13 and had such a glam feel to it. I loved it but wasn’t really sure if I’d actually wear it, but I threw it in my cart anyway....
