View Video Economy and Thrift Stores More consumers are saving at thrift stores — March 20, 2008

Treasures for less: that's the goal of many shoppers at thrift stores in Tucson and around the country. These second hand stores have always been popular for many people but some clients may be turning up so they can stretch their dollar due to a slowing economy. In one store, managers have noticed about a 15% increase in the customer base and a rise of approximately 20 % increase in sales compared to the last fiscal year.
