Thrifting is similar to treasure hunting for unique items that someone else once adored. When makers first started making large quantities of new goods in the 1800s and 1900s, people preferred purchasing old goods because they were more affordable.

"Reasonable prices"

Prices are reasonable but then most people think. It used to be a dream that half the price of half and half at half the price, there are also stereotypes and you can say complex that but its use, it will become useless, what will big people say, but it is the stereotypical mindset let me explain that there are many types of people in this world and everyone wear clothes because they need it, now if you are above the middle class then you have many options to buy clothes. But if you are middle class and below then there are also options according to your budget. If your budget is slightly higher, you can go to a famous Pakistani store where you can find international-level designs often sourced from there, and they offer Pakistani quality.

Option B is to visit the factory outlets of these brands, or consider online platforms where you can find left-over product series, making it budget-friendly while maintaining almost the same quality.

 Option C involves exploring markets like Karim Lock, where you can find second, third, and even fourth copies of everything. Items like Babaj Mike's comma are commonly found here. Therefore, the responsibility for quality lies with the one producing it, not the one buying it.

Option D, other places prioritize design, quality, and budget, but the unique factor here is the concept of "Soch Sph," which is a worldwide concept.

The concept of "Soch Sph" are "Think Smart" or "Smart Thinking." It suggests a mindset that goes beyond just the apparent aspects of design, quality, and budget. It encourages consumers to think critically about their choices, considering not just the product itself but also its impact on the environment, society, and personal values.

For example, let's say you're shopping for a new pair of shoes. The "Soch Sph" approach would involve thinking about factors beyond the style and price. You might consider if the shoes are made from sustainable materials if the company follows ethical manufacturing practices, and if the purchase aligns with your values. It's about making choices that are not only smart for you but also for the broader world.

"Landa Bazar"

People often prioritize thrift stores over expensive ones, considering the condition and quality of used items, and the pricing is set accordingly. Everyone buys without hesitation. To some extent, online stores have gained popularity in Pakistan, but still, most people prefer the first three options.
