Art & Antiques by Dr. Lori: Tips for profitable thrift store shopping
I was video chatting with a client who was showing me his finds from a thrift store shopping spree.
He asked me a question that many people ask at my events or during my video chat sessions about shopping for antiques at thrift stores, estate sales and yard sales. He wanted to know: "What should I be looking for?"

Have you ever gone online to do your shopping and stopped to think how much stuff you actually buy from Amazon? The world's biggest retailer sells just about everything these days, whether you're after a new book, a games console, or something incredibly specific like a part for your lawn mower.
