Back-to-School, Big on Style: Thrift Your Way to an A+ Year with Thrift World 📚🛍️

The summer flew by faster than a kid running from chores, and suddenly, it’s back-to-school season! Whether you're shopping for the littles, the tweens, the teens, or heading back to campus yourself, one thing’s for sure: August = new gear, fresh fits, and hopefully…some savings.

At Thrift World, we’re here to help you head back in style without breaking the bank—or the planet.


TAX-FREE 📅

Shoppers in Iowa and Missouri, take note:

  • Iowa: August 1st–2nd

  • Missouri: August 1st–3rd

During these dates, select back-to-school clothing and items will be TAX-FREE at our stores in those states. That means even bigger savings on already unbeatable thrift prices. It’s basically a back-to-school miracle.

Grab that backpack. Fill it with treasure. And don’t forget: the early bird gets the coolest kicks.


Why Thrift for Back-to-School?

Aside from the savings (did we mention that part?), thrifting helps you:

  • Keep it unique: No one wants to show up in the same graphic tee as five other kids. Our racks are full of one-of-a-kind finds.

  • Be sustainable: Thrifted = reused = fewer resources used. Good for your closet, better for the Earth.

  • Stretch your budget: Score name-brand clothes, dorm decor, and accessories for a fraction of the price.

You can outfit an entire week’s worth of looks, and still have lunch money left over.


What You’ll Find at Thrift World:

  • Stylish jeans, graphic tees, cozy sweaters & school uniforms

  • Backpacks, lunch totes, and sneakers (yes, even trendy ones)

  • Dorm & desk essentials (think: lamps, storage bins, and mood-boosting décor)

  • Outerwear, rain gear & all-weather essentials for fall

  • Vintage pieces that scream “I have taste”

Plus, we restock daily. So if you didn’t find that just-right jacket on Monday, check again on Wednesday, you never know what treasure will pop up.

Shop Smart, Shop Early

Tax-free weekends are the ultimate time to stock up. Our stores do get busy, so plan ahead and make a day of it! Bonus tip: bring the whole family and turn it into a mini thrift adventure (coffee stop recommended).

Not in Iowa or Missouri? You can still score deals all month long and shop sustainably from any of our locations or browse online for even more finds.

See you in the aisles, and good luck to all our students, parents, and teachers heading into a brand-new school year! 💼🍎✂️
