If you're down to scrounge, this place might be for you (I'd just urge you to wash your hands after). That said, I specifically went here today because I needed a stapler. Mine went missing when I moved (probably in some box I've yet to unpack in my storage unit), and there's zero need to purchase a brand new stapler when I know I can get an old reliable Swingline from a thrift place like this (plus, I remembered on my first amble through here that they had a whole basket of staplers). Sure enough, I was able to acquire a stapler. But you can bet your ass that I brought along some staples to test out said staplers... the first one I picked up had a busted spring, but the second was fully functional. Both had been priced at $3. I mention this simply as a word of warning to consider testing before you buy.) I also picked up a bobbin thread case and a quart sized bag of crayons (both priced at $3) while I was there. This place is good for finding the kind of craft stuff your granny would keep around at a low price. And honestly, you're doing the environment a BIG favor to snag this kind of thing off a thrift store shelf rather than "convenience buy" it off Amazon or whatever. You can save money and feel good about yourself. The rest of the store has stuff like glassware, clothing, kids stuff, and holiday decor. It's not all amazing stuff. I reckon a lot of folks donate stuff they don't care to sort through when an elderly parent finally kicks it. The employee behind the checkout counter was a little slow to bother acknowledging me, but once we were interacting, they were friendly enough and wished me a good day; seemed like they were happy I actually bought something instead of just browsing.

Massive selection! I learned today that Buffalo Exchange moved out of Minneapolis due to crime and…read moreconstruction on the former road. They are now located in Saint Paul on Snelling and I'm thrilled as a STP girly. My friend introduced me to the shop after she scored some cowboy boots for a themed party. We visited together on a Sunday and were able to snag some fun deals including a swimming suit, a dress I plan to wear for Halloween, and some tops. Buffalo Exchange sells both men and women's clothing along with shoes and accessories. Pricing is fair and the interior is clean and well organized. The staff is friendly and helps bring items to the dressing room to try on and write your name on a big board. Upon purchase, you will be handed a token if you don't take a bag or bring your own bag. From there, you get to pick a charity of your choice to donate a percentage of your purchase to with no extra fees included. Amongst favoring second hand wear, I also support Buffalo Exchange's mission and variety of items. I look forward to finding more gems very soon. Welcome to Saint Paul!!!

I wish I could give a 3.5 rating, since overall it was a good experience…read more So here's the deal. - lack of large signage on the exterior, makes it easy to miss being it blends in with the other businesses along the strip. -upon entering you may be given a strip of SOLD stickers. If not, you can find them by the registers. They're for tagging larger items you want to buy. You put the sticker on, and take it's product/price tag to the cashier for check-out. -the store is packed with items and people, which makes moving around not so easy. I don't think it's ideal for walkers, wheelchairs, or strollers. If you have mobility challenges, navigating may be tough. -some items don't have a price tag, like the pillow I bought. I asked the cashier how the price is determined, and was advised they assign what they think is a fair price at check-out. My pillow was valued at $4. -i got there at 10:07am, 7 mins after they opened and there were people everywhere. That said, if you're a serious shopper arrive early to see the goods before the super-early birds snatch it all up. -again, it's filled with stuff; mainly furniture, home decor, dinnerware, kitchen goods, some shoes, books, and I even saw cute scarves and bags. It didn't seem like a destination for clothes. Now that I'v summed that up, I do believe it's a nice option for thrifting and would definitely recommend it.

What a fabulous little consignment thrift store! I'd spotted it a few months back, but finally made…read morea pilgrimage today while I was in the area. I was greeted on entry by one of the employees, who kindly explained that each little section was its own thing based on what people brought in (I've seen antique shops laid out this way, so I was familiar with this style of shopping). He let me know that anything I wanted to try on I could just grab and take to the back at my own leisure, or if I wanted him to hold onto anything in the front to free up my hands as I browsed, he could do that too. For those that make clothing decisions along gender expression lines, FYI this store leans femme, probably 80% or more; most of the shop isn't masc. I'll honestly wear whatever fits and imo looks good on me, so no worries here. I was lightly amused when the employee took one look at my dude self and assured me there was "some Harley Davidson stuff and Carhartt" in the back, LOL. So anyway, I ended up buying a bunch of different colored tie-dye crop tops. X'D (All for only three bucks a piece! Steal!) The shop is well-lit and has natural lighting as well, which makes the shopping experience feel relatively light and airy, especially for a thrift store. The aisles are a little tight, but that just means more great stuff to search through and find thrifted treasure! I was especially impressed by the roomy and almost elegant styled dressing rooms, which were far more pleasant than most dressing rooms I'm accustomed to-- you know the ones... cramped, under fluorescent lighting... ugh. So these dressing rooms were a real breath of fresh air! They even had a little area just beside them with comfy chairs and toys for your spouse or kiddo to wait while trying things on. There is also a gender neutral bathroom available towards the back. Even checkout was fun, as interacting with the employees was pleasant. The male employee was thoughtfully considering aloud that I, also a dude, was buying cute crop tops, and I ended up encouraging him to consider showing off a little belly in our upcoming warm weather, letting him know I'd been encouraging my own husband to show off his cute bod. I love when I can go someplace and help break down a few silly gender norms while supporting local biz-- doesn't get much better than that! I maybe wish I'd discovered this place sooner! (Though perhaps my wallet is glad I didn't, lol.) I'm sure to be back in the future. And maybe I'll even inquire when they'll have a consignment opening... I have some stuff I should probably rotate out of my closet, including some plushies that deserve a new loving home. And that's the magic of thrifting! I'll stop raving now. You should check this place out, pronto!

This is an interesting thrift shop that gets overlooked. The main reason is that for whatever…read morereason, if you map search for thrift shops it NEVER comes up. If you don't stumble across it, like I did by hitting the supermarket it shares the plaza with, you'll never know about them. Maybe they like it that way. As the name implies they focus on furniture. The assortment is typically nice to average. Way better than your typical Goodwill or Savers, not as nice as others. The people who work here are very nice. They had an overdose of now-boat-anchor armoires that they were practically giving away but for sofas, chairs, art etc pretty nice. They do have other stuff like books, CDs, brutally overpriced vinyl, kitchenware, but prices are good to crazy. The place is cavernous so a good look around will get in your steps. Again if you don't save a note to remind yourself to visit you probably never will because they're almost invisible. If I hadn't been cleaning out desk junk I wouldn't have remembered I had kept a receipt from here. I have meant to go back but forgot the name and searching for thrift shops is pointless on this place. If you're near here or looking for some room revitalization it's worth a visit. I'm reviewing the place so I can find it again myself.
