Yeah, as a broke twenty-something who only got into houseplants to avoid the quarantine blues AND just so happened to work at Goodwill this last summer I figured out that thrifting for plant supplies was the way to go. Not only can you find actual flower pots but I learned to take vases, metal pales, anything ceramic and even cereal bowls to turn into flower pots with enough imagination. I drilled into ceramic decor to make draining pots, brought home colored glass for propagating, found plant stands, little shelves and other small pieces of furniture to equip my childhood bedroom I am still living in to work with my newfound obsession. If you're good you can find macrame hangers like I did, hooks, screws and nails, window screen and all the other stuff I use for gardening/houseplants. If the work place place politics weren't so toxic I would totally be working there, but even then I still go back and thrift for all of these things over buying them new... and I never buy clothes new, either.

So true , since the pandemic I started gardening and it is so stress-free. As for thrifting , I'll say don't knock it until you try it. There are many wonderful finds and the Goodwill,RWB and so many other good thrift stores.
