The details

Young's three tips for successful Goodwill thrifting are: 1) Allow plenty of time to browse, 2) Check out all sections, not just your own gender or size, and 3) If you don't find what you're looking for at one store, try another location. The weekly "Style Report" segment also promises monthly features like 10-minute in-store challenges, interviews with local designers, and commentary on fashion trends.
