Thrift Town

With over 4,000 items arriving daily, this used goods emporium is a playground for bargain hunters.

In Short
With hip smoking jackets, ancient electronics, fix-it-up furniture and an extensive collection of odd knickknacks, this superstore sells something for everyone. More accurately, it sells something for everyone who is willing to sort through chipped plates, threadbare clothes and worn-out furniture in an effort to find a perfect set of dishes, a hot faux fur jacket or a rustic pine end table on the cheap. Persistent bargain hunters usually head home with a treasure in their trunk.

Thrift Shop 'til You Drop!

by mc32471

thrift town has tons of clothing for women, some are priced crazy low. while the prices of other items are high, too high for the quality in my opinion. The 2nd floor is all housewares and electronics and there are so many great deals up there! Check out the furniture and the seasonal sections (esp. xmas if you're looking for kitchsy it can't be beat!).

lacking are the options for men's clothing especially vintage.

kids' sections seem rather sparse; however, i, myself, do not shop for kids.

bottom line: if you like to thrift you'll have fun. if you LOVE to thrift and don't want to spend four or more hours doing it (cuz there's just so much to look at) then do like i do and go an hour or two before close. i promise, they are very good at kicking everybody out. :)

• Pros: women & home selction, regular sales, hours & (some) prices
• Cons: men's selection, no returns or exch
