Always dress down when  bargain shopping, as many times you will find items that have no tags and the store owner or clerk will have to just shoot a price right off the top of their head. So dress casual and don’t flaunt your best clothing on that day, this will enhance your buying power, and  sellers won’t think you can afford anything in the shop. If you think something is worth less than the price tag, by all means try to bargain.

Most of the time it will work, if not you have nothing to lose. When making an offer, do remember to be fair as many shops may be church related or some revenue goes to the more needy. But remember the best time to bargain shop at thrift stores is the following three months after Christmas!
