    Thrift stores aren’t just for Halloween and hipsters. With a little patience, even a novice shopper can snag sweet deals on one-of-a-kind items.

Check them out for some consignment shop inspiration and motivation.

    1. Almost 100 Old Beer Cans, $5

    An instant collection that’ll look pretty sweet along your man-cave walls.
