✅ Save Your Progress: Mark Shops Visited and Pick Up Where You Left Off

How-To January 3, 2028 · 2 min read

A good thrift day can take hours, and you might not finish the whole loop in one go. The Thrift Trail remembers where you left off, so you can pause, come back later or refresh the page without starting over.

Mark shops as visited

Each shop has a Visited checkbox. Tap it when you finish a shop, or tap the big Continue to button under the map, which ticks the shop you are at and moves you on to the next one. If you tap too soon, the small Undo link under the button puts it back. The card dims and the name is crossed off, so you can see at a glance what is left.

What gets saved

• Which shops you have marked visited.
• Shops you removed or added.
• Any custom order you set and your starting shop.

All of it is saved on your own device, in your browser. You do not need an account or a password.

Pick up another day

If you leave a trail unfinished, the Trail will offer to resume it the next time you visit, for up to a week. You can also start fresh at any time with the Start over link.

If your progress does not save

Private or incognito browsing blocks saving, and some in-app browsers (such as those inside social apps) can lose data. If you see a note that your browser is not saving, open the Trail in your regular browser. Adding the Trail to your home screen also helps.

Make a game of it

Checking off shops is satisfying. Try visiting every shop in a neighborhood, or chip away at the whole Trail over a season. It turns thrifting into a collection.

Quick answers

Where is my progress stored?

On your device, in your browser.

Can I reset it?

Yes, you can uncheck shops at any time.

Thrift tip: Mark a shop visited right when you leave, not at the end of the day. It is easy to forget.

Start a trail on the Chattanooga thrift store map and try the Visited checkbox.
