I’ve done quite a bit of opshopping / thrifting recently to update my winter wardrobe. I found some amazing pieces and when I shared them on Instagram, I got people asking me where I went. It gave me an idea that it’s about time I update the opshops I go to. I thought I’d also add my tips and tricks on opshopping as I’ve been doing this for years.
If you live in Auckland, check out my favourite opshops below.

I know I’ve done a few opshop hauls recently but that’s where I mostly shopped the past few months. Today’s post is mainly winter items I picked up from Savemart, my current favourite opshop. I absolutely love this haul and it’s probably one of my favourites.
So I’ve done blog posts about my quick day trip to Hamilton and where we went for brunch. Today I’m sharing the stuff I found at the two opshops in Hamilton.
Opshopping or thrifting is my favourite way to shop. Most of my clothes and even bags are from opshops. I love bargains and finding one of a kind pieces that not everyone would have. Savemart is one of the places I go opshopping because there’s one close to where I live and it’s huge that I’m bound to find something I like.
Last month, I posted the top places where I go thrifting/opshopping. Today I have a huge thrift haul from a few weeks back when I realised I needed more winter pieces. These are more basic staple clothing items but I still wanted to share them because of how inexpensive I got them.
Today, I’m sharing with you my favourite places to opshop/thrift shop. If you live in Auckland and want to know where I usually get my thrift hauls then continue on with this post.
If you’ve been following my blog or Instagram for some time, you would’ve noticed my love for thrifting/opshopping. I love it so much and I’ve shared a lot of thrift hauls here on the blog.
It’s been a long time since I posted a thrift/opshop haul here on the blog. As much as I love thrifting, I haven’t had the time to go or if I have, I’ve only bought one or two pieces that weren’t enough to feature in a post.
A few weekends ago, I made the time to go to my favourite Hospice shop and I got lucky because I came home with a bunch of thrifted goodies.
I have a mixture of clothing, books and a kitchen item so continue on if you want to know everything I got.
One man’s trash is another man’s treasure
I have been asked multiple times on my “secret” to op shopping. For those that don’t know, thrifting or op shopping is when you go shopping at thrift stores, second-hand shops or charity shops. It has also been popularised by Macklemore & Ryan Lewis with their song Thrift Shop. If you haven’t heard of that song, you may have been living under a rock.
So basically, you are looking at pre-loved/second hand items that have mostly been donated by others. I am a serial op shopper. I am obsessed with it (as you can tell from my thrift hauls) and I love the thrill of finding a great pieces for bargain prices.
