Momma gunna pop some tags, she only got twenty dollars in her pocket! #mommaknowsbest is back with some thrift shop tips. Macklemore ain’t the only who can rock your grandpa’s style – you can too, and possibly even get it for ninety-nine cents.

Thrift Shop Rulez:

  1. Coppin’ it, washin’ it, ‘bout to go and get some compliments
    But seriously, wash before wearing. You just bought a piece from a thrift shop, you have no clue where it’s been or who its last owner was. This step is simple: Buy, wash, and reel in the compliments. POP POP.
  2. Passin’ up on those moccasins someone else’s been walkin’ in
    Fact: Feet are nasty, let alone someone else’s feet. Follow the no socks, no buy mantra.
  3. I could take some Pro Wings, make them cool, sell those
    Take it from Macklemore, thrift shopping is not only a way to save money, but a way to earn some mad chedda too! If you see something that you think could look better, pick it up, make those adjustments, and try to turn some profit!
  4. I’m digging, I’m digging, I’m searching right though that luggage
    Thrift shopping ain’t easy or else everyone would do it. There tons of items in a thrift shop, you are often looking for a needle in a haystack. The trick is to keep looking! The piece you are looking for is there it’s just hidden by the sweater that looks like your grandmothers couch or the pants that could fit three of you.
  5. One man’s trash, that’s another man’s come-up
    Just because you don’t like a piece doesn’t mean that it isn’t exactly what the next person is looking for. Keep an open mind while thrifting and respect other patrons.
  6. That shirt’s hella dough, and having the same one as six other people in the club is a hella don’t.
    Of course, one of the best things about thrifting is having unique pieces that set you apart. You never wanna be caught in a “hella don’t” situation.
  7. Saving my money and I’m hella happy, that’s a bargain b**ch
    The best part of thrifting the money you will save! Not only will you feel like the most badass baller in the bar but you will have some extra cash in your wallet. WIN WIN.

Peace out
