I’m back with another Germany vs the United States video and this time it’s about thrifting! The word thrifting actually isn’t used as much in Germany; they tend to say “Second Hand Shop”, but they are relatively the same thing. I found that there are far fewer thrift stores or second hand stores in Germany, but as I was in Berlin I found a good number of them and wanted to point out some comparisons in the clothing available, styles, prices, and more. German stores were much more organized and were often part thrift part vintage, but this meant higher prices. I’ve included some footage of me shopping to give some actual prices of the items!
Stores in Berlin I visited: Humana, ReSales (my favorite), PICKNWEIGHT, Vintage Revivals, and more!

Who am I?
My name is Montana Showalter, and I was a participant in the Congress Bundestag Youth Exchange program in 2019-2020. I started my KZread channel while living in Germany and continue to make videos on German vs American culture. I love finding aspects of German culture in the US as well as producing videos in German as practice! In the future, I hope to live abroad again :)
