My50 Chicago

Chicago - Just about everyone took a beating over the last few years as the economy imploded.

From lost jobs, to battered stock portfolios and the higher cost of health care.

In the end, we're all looking for a few ways to save a buck and still get the things that we love.

If fashion is your thing, we've got a show for you.

Today, we're talking about thrifting.  We'll show you how to buy unique or high-end clothes, furniture and household items, even gym equipment, without breaking the bank.

We'll give you tips on where to shop, how to spot a good deal and why so many people are turned off by this seemingly logical practice.

Joining us today :

Joslyn Slaughter, Image and Personal Thrift Consultant, JordansClosets.com , Confessionsofathriftstorefashionista.wordpress.com

Venita Griffin, Long-Time Thrifter

Letroy Cook, Windycitymama.com

Host: Kimbriell Kelly

Producer: Tasha E. Ransom
