10 Best Facebook Groups To Join If You're An Obsessive Thrift Shopper
Love to thrift but don't want the fun to stop between your shopping trips? Then there's a Facebook group (or a whole handful of them!) that you need to join. The social media platform is home to niche groups of all kinds, including several dedicated to people who are always looking for their next thrifting score.
Each group is a little different. Some allow members to buy and sell products within the group, while others are more about sharing their favorite secondhand buys (and giving you some inspiration for your next shopping excursion). And while some focus on any kind of vintage or thrifted item, many stick to one type, like old school Christmas kitsch or the home decor steals you should never leave the thrift store without. No matter your goals with joining a group, you'll find camaraderie among your fellow thrifters.
There are just a couple things to keep in mind. First, each group has their own rules, typically focused on whether you're allowed to sell items, keeping convos with fellow members civil, and commenting only on thrifting-related topics. Make sure you stick to each group's guidelines! Additionally, know that some groups are private and ask you to answer a few questions before you join — this is often to prevent the group from being overrun with bots. But once you're in, the thrifting fun never has to stop. Here are some of our current favorites.
I Love Thrifting
There's no buying and selling in I Love Thrifting — but there is a giant crop of expert thrifters showing off their remarkable finds (and tons of fellow thrifters cheering on their wins!). Since so many people share real-life pics, it's a great group to join if you need a little inspiration for styling vintage outfits and home decor to make it seem both unique and modern. Plus, you'll get a ton of hot tips on brand names and quality styles to keep your eye out for next time you're thrifting.
Thrifted Home Decor & More
Love to decorate your place with previously loved items? You'll love Thrifted Home Decor & More. Members share excellent photos not just of their thrifting scores, but how they've styled these super unique pieces in their home. Don't be surprised if you start to pick up all sorts of new pieces at the thrift store once you join this group, as you'll be wowed by some of the ways people breathe new life into old finds.
The Thrifting Board
If you're more of an impulsive thrifter than a thoughtful one — like the type who throws something cool in the cart and then comes home and realizes you don't know what it is — then the The Thrifting Board is a great resource. Members help each other discover more details about their finds, and give them practical tips on using, styling, or reselling the items as they see fit.
Kids retro & vintage clothes
Kids really do grow so fast, and it can feel expensive and wasteful to pay full price for brand new items that won't get much wear. Enter: Kids retro & vintage clothes. You can buy and sell items here, and sellers do a great job of detailing sometimes tricky kids sizing. The group is especially fun because unlike other kids resale groups, there is a focus on retro items. If you've got kiddos in your life who love to stand out from the crowd, this is the place to find their gear.
Thrift Store Junkies and Awesome Finds
If you want to get more serious about finding more quality thrifted products or building out a collection of vintage home goods, join Thrift Store Junkies and Awesome Finds. Full of smart and experienced thrifters, you'll get tons of tips on spotting jaw-dropping pieces, picking out the diamonds in the rough, and making antique items work in a modern home.
Weird (and Wonderful) Secondhand Finds That Just Need To Be Shared
If you're the person that always finds the kookiest stuff at the thrift store, you'll find your people in Weird (and Wonderful) Secondhand Finds That Just Need To Be Shared. This may not be the first place you go for inspiration before thrifting, but it is the place to scroll when you need a good chuckle. And who knows — in between the bedazzled frogs, fuzzy boots, and mushroom butter dishes, you might find a gem. After all, one person's weird and wonderful trash is another one's treasure!
Vintage Kitschy Christmas
Does your love for thrifting intersect with your knack for decorating for Christmas on a budget? Then Vintage Kitschy Christmas is going to keep your holiday spirit going all year long. You can buy, sell, trade, or just show off your favorite items in this group. The name doesn't lie — the items posted here definitely lean more towards kitsch than snowy chic — but it's a fun community and a cool place to find your next holiday party's conversation starter.
All Things Vintage & Thrifted
All Things Vintage & Thrifted is the perfect group for everyone who loves to chat about thrifting as much as you love the shopping itself. Dedicated members go deep on their favorite recent finds and give all kinds of tips on uncovering and identifying the sought-after antique home items people are snatching up fast when thrifting.
Quirky Groovy Vintage
Calling all vintage clothes lovers! Quirky Groovy Vintage is your spot. There's a super wide variety of clothes on sale here, from disco-era party clothes to cozy (and quality!) secondhand sweaters. You'll find some retro home goods in the mix here, too, but more sellers are coming to the group with the one-of-a-kind items that will give your closet a serious upgrade.
Vintage Pyrex and Home Good Sales
If you're the entertainer or home chef of your friend group, you're going to love Vintage Pyrex and Home Goods Sales. There are incredible, high-quality vintage servingware items for sale here, including full sets and collections of items like casserole dishes or tea sets. In short, don't say we didn't warn you that your thrifter's heart is going to be in heaven — but your wallet might not be quite as happy. Rare vintage Pyrex pieces can sell for serious cash, especially if they're going to a dedicated collector.
