Winnipeg thrift stores say business is booming due to rising inflation - Winnipeg | Globalnews.ca

“We’re busy and summer is a busy time for us, but we have noticed an increase in volume,” Prairie Crocus Thrift Store board member Candy Anaka-Pare told Global News.

“I think it’s inflation and the price of inflation, but also it’s the trend of thrifting and reusing and not sending to landfills,” Anaka-Pare said. “So we’ve noticed a huge increase in that demographic of 17 to early 30s. People are mindful of that.”Anaka-Pare said they’re seeing a wide variety of clientele, coming in for an array of items — especially parents looking for clothes and toys.“We sell a ton of toys, even housewares, because we are a throw-away society. And I’m guilty of it, we’re all guilty of it. We want new and better and shiny,” she said.
