QUEENSLAND'S BIGGEST THRIFT SALE RETURNS WITH HALF-PRICE, GUILT FREE SHOPPING AT VINNIES

Calling Queensland bargain hunters and op-shop enthusiasts – get ready for an exciting three
days of guilt-free shopping as Vinnies Queensland announce the return of the state’s biggest thrift sale –
50% off nearly everything* from Thursday, 31 October, to Saturday, 2 November.

The statewide event invites shoppers to explore a stunning array of unique finds with shelves restocked
daily, from stylish fashion pieces, unique home décor, and even the occasional designer gem — all while
supporting crucial support services for vulnerable Queenslanders.

Drew Eide, GM - Operations for Vinnies Queensland, said that shoppers can discover fantastic wardrobe additions at half the price, all while contributing to essential services, including housing and homelessness support, to help those facing hardship amid rising cost-of-living challenges.

“With 12 new or refurbished shops opening across Queensland and a remarkable 6% year-on-year sales
growth, it's clear that the love for second-hand shopping continues to soar,” he said.

“Our recent 50% off sale in May and June was our biggest retail sales week ever, demonstrating just how
much Queenslanders value the opportunity to shop sustainably and affordably.”

“The best part about op-shopping is that your next incredible find could be just around the corner, whether
it’s a high-end winter coat or a unique piece of jewellery, there are thousands of items waiting for their
next home, and the best part about shopping at Vinnies is that each purchase goes back to support
Queenslanders in need.”

In the 2023-2024 financial year, Vinnies Queensland proudly sold 9.3 million pre-loved items, showcasing
the increasing appeal of op-shopping in our community. Quality, undamaged donations are also accepted
in-store throughout the sale
