Need advice on buying scrubs at thrift stores

Published

So I read on posts here that people find scrubs at thrift stores. Well, I went to a local Goodwill and didn't find anything. Is there a trick to finding one? There was no uniform section so do they just get mixed up in t-shirt section or what?

My local Goodwill has a scrub section they label as uniforms. Near jogging pants. The last top I bought fit really well. Super cute. However, midshift the top split from the bottom to the armpit! Probably not the usual. Check seams really well. Pull on them and make sure they don't tear. Thank goodness I had a tank top under my scrub top

Check thrifts near facilities (and I mean LTC, psych everything). I've had no luck near where I live but I'll find some at the thrifts near facilities. (people dropping things off after work, perhaps?)

Thanks! I will check around different thrift stores.

I was at goodwill yesterday and couldn't find any so I asked. They had them mixed in with other stuff. Some stores separate them though. Ask someone who works there. Also check ebay.

There are two Goodwills pretty close to wear I live. At one location (smaller) the scrubs are mixed in with sleepwear, which is towards the back on the same rack as dresses. At the other location they have a uniforms section, but they are often found mixed in with activewear and sleepwear too. The great majority of the scrubs seems to be XL, some L & M... very few S or XS.

Good luck :)
