This is by far the best first I've done. Barb and Phyllis, the ladies who run Barb's Corner, are…read morewonderful individuals and very hard workers. Their store may be tucked away, nestled between Main Street and the train tracks, but it really is a friendly hub. I met Phyllis at the Valley Marketplace on the green in downtown Ansonia. My mom struck up a conversation with her and told her that we were having a hard time trying to consign our old clothes and she warmly welcomed us to come on over any time and she'll take any clothes as long as they're not too beaten up or stained. When I finally went there with bins and bags of clothes, they were so kind and took all but 3 items, which is a breath of fresh air after dealing with the uppity atmosphere at One More Tyme and Plato's Closet. Granted, not a lot of people who visit buy things, so don't get too butthurt if you go in after a couple of weeks and only have 25 cents in your account. This leads me to the absolute BEST thing about Barb's Corner: their huge hearts. Barb and Phyllis take more than just clothing, they also take household items, furniture, and even unopen packs of diapers and adult disposable underwear. If you're someone who's hurting and hard up for money, they might even cut you a break on the price, which is totally unheard of in this dog eat dog world where everyone just wants to make a buck. However, please don't abuse their kindness since they need every dollar they get, as do the consigners. Even if you've got a heart of stone, it's hard not to like this quaint shop and their great prices. I got a brand new pair of shorts with the KMart tag and everything still on them, here for $2.50! All in all, this place is wonderful to visit, even if you are just feeling lonely and need someone to talk to. The only downside, and it's not that big of a deal, is that it tends to get a bit cramped what with all of the stuff they take. So, just keep on your toes and you should be golden.

The older house has two 1st floor rooms with racks of clothes that are not the usual Talbots, Gap and Kohls. Here you'll find lots of Lily Pulitzer, Anthropology, Gretchen Scott and a plethora of other unusual brands for all ages. All I want to know is, where and how do people find this wonderful stuff? The proprietors are friendly, and live and blog locally. While hanging out in the front room and eyeballing their wonderful selection of woven and shell bracelets, a customer arrived who had taught in my district, and we had loads of fun discussing the characters we knew in common. All I can say is, what a wonderful find!!! Note - they've moved, and their address is 39 Sanford Street, Fairfield, CT 06824

We loved our visit! We were immediately greeted by Nadine with kindness and warmth…read more From my pictures you could see the intentional thought that went into decorating the store! I loved there is a free little pantry in the corridor as you enter. Take what you need, leave what you can! You are able to bring in donations of kitchen wares and gently used clothing, accessories, and shoes for 30% off purchases. You are given a rewards card and on your 6th donation, you can get $10 off your purchase. As soon as I walked in a pair of union at olive colored pants caught my eye. They fit perfectly! As I checked out I was informed pants were 30% off. I got a perfect pair of labra for just over $6. What a wonderful value. I was so happy and felt great! We loved the bright, fun atmosphere and will absolutely be back to bring in donations. 5 stars!

My wife and I recently came out this way for a friend's birthday at some local winery. Beautiful…read moreplace - outdoor picnic tables, rock walls, string lights and tangles of grapevines spreading down a gently rolling hill. Anyway, as soon as we got there I let my wife out of the car and told her I was going to go buy some crap at the nearest Goodwill. She was a little disappointed, but by now she's used to that. So I ended up at this Goodwill in Shelton and I have to say, I was a bit disappointed as well. While most of these little factory towns in the Naugatuck Valley had a decidedly rundown rustbelt vibe to them, this Goodwill was located in a big splashy new shopping center with those corny fake facades and the interior was brightly lit, nice-smelling and overall pretty clean. Right off the bat, none of this does anything for me. But I press on. As far as the goods are concerned, this place is on par with any of the other countless Goodwill's around Connecticut, which means mostly newer, boring clothing - fleeces, khakis and checkered shirts for the men and Walmart tops and endless aisles of bland "coatigan"-type thingies for the women. You will also find a few racks of housewares items which consist of mostly damaged dishware, Boyd's Bears figurines and generic wall art. The media selection will contain tons of not very good books and CDs and a smaller amount of really not very good records. However, today I got lucky and I scored two old plaid blazers, a couple pairs of sunglasses and a giant 6XL 3D-printed shirt with a rooster holding a machine gun. Turns out the blazers had been feasted upon by moths or weevils or some other blazer-eating insects and the sunglasses were prescription, but the 6XL rooster shirt? That is simply pure perfection! Now, my wife puts up with a lot, but ditching her friends at a winery so I could pay ten bucks for a very large man's rooster shirt, might be a bridge too far so I smuggled that one home to make an appearance at some future date to be determined.
