Think of that one vintage sweater you bust out every fall, the one people compliment so often. And when they ask where you got it, you say smugly: "at a thrift store."

Driving the news: If there's any day to devote to finding the perfect thrifted fit, it's National Thrift Shop Day on Sunday.

Here are some spots to check out in Metro Detroit:

🔵 Goodwill has at least eight stores in the region. Sign up for its Club Blue texting list to get an "exclusive deal" for the thrifting holiday, per Goodwill of Greater Detroit's Instagram.

🎉 Volunteers of America Michigan stores, including the location in Westland, are planning parties and deals for the thrifting holiday including 25% off everything in-store, free popcorn, color tag deals, giveaways and games.

🎟 The Salvation Army has 30 stores in Metro Detroit and is celebrating the holiday Saturday (its stores are closed Sunday), giving customers a $10 coupon for future shopping when they spend $30.

For a more curated thrifting or vintage experience, try Flamingo Vintage in Southwest Detroit, Mama Coo's in Corktown, Regeneration in Pleasant Ridge, Rat Queen Vintage in Hamtramck or the Thrift Depot in Ypsilanti.
