"We're half way there Oh-oh, livin' on a prayer…read moreTake my hand, we'll make it, I swear" (Bon Jovi) Valley Thrift Shop had a Valentines Day special half-price sale today. Now maybe the only thing we enjoy more than thrift stores are thrift stores with sales, so that kind of explains why we ended up there today. Yes indeed, everything in the store was 50% off. We saw the usual complement of toys, clothing, dishes, kitchenware, books, jewelry, and footwear. I have a wedding coming up in March, so I decided to look for a nice white shirt. I found a super nice crisp shirt and when I checked the label for size, I saw not only was it in my size, but it was also a Pierre Cardin shirt. It was stickered at $4 so it cost me $2. The store is very crowded with stock. It's not the high-end stock you'll see at some thrift stores (most notable the string of Second Chance Shops). But if you're looking for an eclectic mix of things in a bargain priced store run by some super nice folks, well you can't really go wrong here. PRO TIP Every Saturday is a half-priced day!!

I found some really good used books for my kids and one for me, and several of the others in my group walked out with clothes, jewelry, a really cool old cookbook from the 1930s, and even a beautiful, ornate-looking ottoman. I don't live in Torrington, but if i did, I'd pop by here every couple weeks to see what they've got. Highly recommend.

I saw racks and racks of men's and women's clothing, shoes, accessories, footwear, household goods, dishes, and kitchen equipment in the front of the store. In the back of the store were CD's, record albums, thousands of books, collectibles and pretty much everything. I even saw three Pez dispensers with likenesses of former presidents. Much of the inventory is what I'd call vintage, which is a code word for "old". Those items may not be for everyone, but if you're into old dishes, bric a brac, dolls, China, wall hangings, glassware, jewelry, furniture, and lamps, well Favarh might just be what you're looking for. Today was 50% off day, and I scooped up two ties marked at $2 each for a grand total of $2.13. You might find a thrift store out there with better quality merchandise, but I'm not sure you'll find one with as much stuff as I saw here. And since their proceeds go to charity, it's well worth your time to check out their stock and see what bargains appeal to you.

The employees there are volunteers. Once I walked in, it looked like a boutique. Clothes, shoes, and cutlery/china were in the front area. Everything was organized by size and color. I immediately found a Vineyard Vines sweater that I loved for $12. They have sales based on color of the day/week; I would ask the employee for that information. In the back section, they had household items, books, and miscellaneous items. You can also sign up for their free rewards card; you gain points from every purchase and that adds up for future discounts. Overall, a great thrift store and I look forward to shopping there.

This was an amazing bargain, I would strongly suggest you get down here and rummage through everything because there are bargains to be had everywhere you look, so much easier than going to the Goodwill store. Parking is plentiful out front, or in the town parking lot just across the street. Come on down , Simsbury is beautiful!

Their clothing racks are organized by color and size, and everything is in excellent condition. I however am mostly drawn to their home items, like their plates and dishes. I once picked up eight dessert plates for 15 cents each. None of them had a single scratch or nick. They have a whole bookshelf of hard cover books for just $2.00 each. There's plenty of jewelry, I saw a really cool pair of large pearl earrings, but they were clip ons. They also have some beautiful artwork, that's already framed. This is a lovely thrift store, that I wouldn't skip stopping by!
