{ Spring Cleaning + Shopping } Upcycle Your Stuff @ New Store, Savers Thrift

It’s that time again. Time to do some spring cleaning and say out with the old and in with the new. The cool thing is that what’s old to you is new to someone else, and vice versa. It’s also Earth Month so I can’t think of a better time to clean out that closet (and dresser, and under the bed, and everywhere) and upcycle your stuff. That’s my plan, and there’s a new thrift store opening in Willow Grove, PA tomorrow on April 7 called Savers that kept 650 million pounds of goods from the world’s landfills just last year. Um, wow!

I got to preview the store yesterday and I gotta say, it’s pretty cool. I ended up shopping until the very end of the event because there’s just SO much stuff! Between clothes and the super-cute glassware, I was in thrift-shop heaven. I’ll be blogging about all that I bought (multiple outfits!) for less than $50, so check back for that this weekend.

Reuse: To make sure their racks and shelves are always full, the Willow Grove Savers partners with Big Brothers Big Sisters Clothes for Kids’ Sake, an organization that raises money to support local Big Brothers Big Sisters agencies in the area. Savers pays Clothes for Kids’ Sake for the used goods they collect, even if the items don’t make it to the sales floor.

Another easy way to do some spring cleaning is by donating to Clothes for Kids’ Sake at Savers’ on-site Community Donation Center. Simply bring in the stuff you don’t want — clothes, shoes, housewares, handbags, baby clothes, toys, you name it and then you’ll receive a coupon, and the more you bring the bigger the discount you receive. You’ll also get a tax receipt and whatever the store can’t sell will be reused elsewhere. You get a deal while keeping goods out of our landfills and supporting local nonprofits.

There’s truly so much to shop for and it’s great to know that these purchases help our planet and keep items from landfills. Plus the prices are unbelievably good. Check out the new Savers, located at 300 York Road, Willow Grove, PA 19090 and find out more information by visiting their website here.
