Bobo Choi, a BYU master’s student studying information systems management, said her favorite part about thrifting is that everything she shops for are products that have already been chosen. “So I kind of have a safe zone where I can choose whatever other people selected for me.”

Maria Laura Flores is another BYU student studying cell biology and physiology. Flores said she thrift shops because she realized she can get the same clothes she would at other stores for a cheaper price and the same quality.
