Step Aboard the Thriftinista Experience! 

Choose your adventure: north, central, or south. Pick a date, and we'll tailor the tour for up to 15 enthusiasts or opt for a cozier group if you like.  Larger busses require a contribution of $1000 or more Or…..maybe you can get one donated. Weekdays and Saturdays are best. We don’t offer tours on Sundays. 

Don’t forget to save space for the treasures you’ll find!

Prep Like a Pro: 

Begin with a closet audit to know exactly what you're hunting for. Consider a Pinterest board to visualize your dream wardrobe. This prep ensures you shop with purpose!

Susan's Gift: 

Susan donates her expertise, guiding you through the Thriftinista experience. We’ll hit up to three hand-picked stores within a 10-mile radius, focusing on quality time with the racks, not the road.

Budget-Friendly Adventure: 

Costs include the bus (often donated or sponsored) and meals (light breakfast and box lunch, with a celebratory wine reception to wrap up). The experience is not just about finding deals—it's about creating memories and supporting a great cause. Note: Susan will occasionally donate the entire tour with bus and food (You must auction it for $2500 and provide a receipt.). If you are using the tour as a fundraiser, you should plan on finding a food and bus sponsor. 

Fuel Your Mission: 

Every seat sold is a direct investment in your cause. With a history of generous donors contributing up to $100 per seat, your event is poised to be a significant fundraising opportunity. This isn't just about filling seats; it's about rallying a community around your mission.

Engagement and Education: 

The Thriftinista experience offers a unique platform to connect with and educate new supporters. Beyond the thrill of the find, this event serves as a vibrant, interactive forum for sharing the stories and successes of your nonprofit. It’s an invitation to participants to become part of something bigger—a movement toward positive change, powered by the joy of thrifting.

A Day to Remember: 

We’re crafting an experience that goes beyond the average shopping trip. Attendees will embark on a journey of discovery, unearthing not just goods, but the value and impact of their contributions. From the initial closet audit prep to the final celebratory reception, every moment is designed to delight, inform, and inspire.

Potential Profit: 

With the right promotion and an engaged donor base, your nonprofit could raise up to $5,000! Remember, your marketing efforts are crucial—we’ll boost the buzz through our channels, but the heart of the turnout depends on your community's involvement.

Social Media Magic: 

Susan knows the power of a good tease! That's why she's crafting a suite of social media templates for you. These ready-to-use gems are designed to stir excitement and anticipation among your followers, making the promotion of your tour a breeze.

Pre-Trip Pep Talk: 

Gear up for greatness with an exclusive Zoom webinar hosted by Susan. This is where attendees receive insider tips to maximize their Thriftinista experience. It’s not just a shopping spree; it's a mission to make the most out of every moment. Expect strategy, style, and a sprinkle of Susan’s thrifting wisdom to prepare you for the ultimate day of discovery.

Your Choice, Our Recommendation: 

Whether you opt for the thrill of a live auction or the strategic calm of a silent one, we're here to support your success. To make a significant impact, we recommend aiming for a total donated value of $2,500 for the items up for auction. This target not only raises the stakes but also the potential funds for your cause.

Why $2,500? 

Setting a high bar for the auction items ensures that your event stands out, enticing participants with the promise of high-value finds. This strategy boosts engagement, drives up bidding, and ultimately, increases the funds raised for your nonprofit.
