4.if you thrifting with your friend i suggest you to split . to avoid fighting with your friend when you get the same wanted items

in indonesia a perfect place to thrifting is from traditional market , when you there you can find some cheap stuff start price from 5000 rupiah or 0.31133 euro, but average price is 20000 or 1euro++ for t shirt , shirt , short pants , long pants *fabric material* , or 50000 or 3 euro++ for jeans , jacket , outer , cardigan

online store mostly has 3 times or more expensive
not a lot has same price as from traditional market .

I just bought 3 shirts the other day and they were under 20€ together. It was amazing n made my day bc I've been looking for a cute sweater for so long and I found two!! I go thrifting twice a month at this point bc I'm trying to get some colour into my closet and it's the cheapest way to do it. Also the clothes aren't usually bad quality unlike clothes from H&M, for example.

The most I've paid for an item was probably 19€.

ahh i love that! i think sweaters are one of the best things to thrift honestly

Indeed but it's also a big pain in the ass because the good good ones are always way too expensive. I've spotted multiple cute sweaters and they were all above 50€ u__u the frustration ughh
