Local Savers Thrift Store Shares Secrets
To Shop Smarter this Holiday Season
Thrift stores encourage consumers to enjoy a more spirited holiday season this year

WHAT:                 It's tempting to overspend during the holidays. But a truly spirited season doesn't have to be about buying all new stuff – it could mean refurbishing a secondhand item into a one-of-a-kind handmade present, or decorating with vintage pieces that hold real sentimental value.

Savers thrift store chain offers holiday shoppers a unique alternative to big box department stores. Not only can shoppers find thoughtful ideas in just about every category, they can participate in a sustainable cycle that keeps tons of treasures from simply being thrown away, and they can save money at the same time.

INTERVIEWS:   Available for in-studio or in-store interviews, local Savers team members will fill your viewers in on how to make the most of the holidays for less and shop smarter this year. Team members can discuss:

·         Tips to slash your holiday shopping budget without sacrificing style

·         Holiday shopping trends in your local market

·         Examples of meaningful, budget-friendly gift ideas and "do-it-yourself" holiday projects created with items found at the local Savers store

WHERE:           Savers team members are available for in-studio appearances or at store locations to showcase savvy shopping tips, trends and gift and entertaining ideas for the holidays.

WHEN:             Now through Dec. 23, 2010
