Upon first entering The Brown Elephant, you might feel that this is not your average Thrift store…read more In some sections, it is more organized than other stores of its kind. This store has more furniture than anything else, and the prices were a little higher than your average Thrift store.

I wish they had more hours. But what they have offers enough time for me to shop there. Such a pleasant shopping experience! My Husband luvs the store too & trust me he is not into shopping. We both had a great time! The store is super neat & the prices are low to very fair. Push baskets to shop with. Enough room to browse around. Round racks for clothing so you don't have to be in a narrow isle & in someone's way. Dressing rooms if you need them. The clothes & other items are very nice. Not junk as other stores try to sell & for high prices. The prices are good & reasonable. I go for clothes & more. But they do have a very nice selection of furniture, dishes & house items, toys, shoes, nice coats & much more. This was my first time shopping at this wonderful store. I plan to go back as much as I can. I was lucky to be there when all blue tickets of clothes were only $1! Yes, $1!. You can't even buy anything at a $1 Tree store for $1 anymore! Some things are a bit pricey but not bad at all! I love shopping at store like this. Many people donate nice clothes etc. Also I luv finding different kinds of jackets, coats, tops & more that you do not see in chain stores. The staff is very friendly greeting waiting to get in customers with a cheerful "Good Morning" & so pleasant to deal with. For the holidays I see the store has extended hours. The down side is the regular hours are only 3 weekdays open from 10 am till 4 pm. But I will take it. I am retired so very lucky I can shop here & it is not super far for us to drive to. There is a huge parking lot in the back as well. I can't wait to shop here again. For some time I was shopping at another thrift store & 1 of the volunteers was so unpleasant & mean to me. So, It looks like they lost alot of my business. This is another reason I am so happy Gerry & I finally tried this store. We always drive by it & now we can shop here & find some nice things. A very cheerful & pleasant shopping experience for sure.

I rung the doorbell and a grumpy old man with glasses came to door. No hello, no verbiage. Either he has a vocal problem or didn't want to be bothered I couldn't figure it out. He reached for a bag I placed on the ground and took it inside. He came back and thought I was going to hand him the 2nd bag which I placed it on the ground for him. A short older guy came to assist and he took the luggage and 3rd bag. He told me to have a nice day but I requested a receipt. The grump man gave it to me. The shorter guy thanked me for the donation. I know these guys volunteer their time. I just can't deal with with rudeness at any age.

They have an amazing selection of vintage clothing, belts, and various knickknacks. Everything is curated beautifully and I'm always able to find something unexpected. The basement is full of books, records, VHS tapes, DVDs, and miscellaneous home goods. I didn't get the chance to get the woman who was working there's name, but she was very welcoming and kind - I was in the basement going through the books for well over an hour, and I never once got the vibe that I was overstepping. Definitely a hidden gem worth checking out.

Almost any volunteer is wonderful & very friendly & kind. But today I encountered such a rude witch! I am very mellow & I bought alot as everything in the store was half off. Well, I bought so much & when I went to pay there was a beautiful black lady working the register & she is so kind & cheerful. But the woman bagging my items had a very mean attitude. She jumped on me because I removed the hangers. She demanded to know what I did with them. I told her I put the hangers on a rack. She went off on me! It took me by surprise because as I mentioned usually all the volunteers are super nice. This lady has a lousy attitude. She also told the nice clerk the wrong prices. Everything was half off & that nice lady had to correct it. The mean lady proceeded to rag on & on about how now she has to get all the hangers I hung up! I did tell her I am sorry I did not know it was so important to her. But she just acted like a jerk. I never had this experience with anyone there. The baskets are very small & I was shocked this jerk would get on me like this. I remove the hangers to make room for what I buy. She was totally out of line. I posted this on their page & I seen it was removed! Don't they care if someone is out of control working at the store? If I see her again I will not put up with her or just not reply at all. It is hard enough in this world without fools like this around. I spent $64 over there & you would think my business would be appreciated. I have shopped at other thrift & resale stores & always am treated with kindness. This lady should not volunteer if she has such a sour attitude. It is a good store but avoid the small blond with greying hair. I am 68 & do not act so crabby like her. Who ever is in charge talk to this fool & tell her to treat customers with kindness or hit the road. I am sure they can find volunteers who are nice.

Truly a magical place full of treasures…read more The Economy Shop is a huge old house that's been converted into a charity shop that's open typically two Saturday's and a Thursday each month (you can check out their website for their shopping dates and hours). I'd recommend getting there early as parking fills up quick! I think they do take cards, but it is much easier to pay with cash here. This is a great place to go wandering through as the rooms are chock full of odds and ends, and there are many rooms to wander through. I've found all kinds of things here, from aprons to baskets to rugs to furniture to art to random knickknacks. Prices are pretty low, and you can often find really good quality or designer items that have been well-maintained more often than you would at other thrift shops. Come here if you love the thrift store experience and want to find treasures. Maybe don't come here if you're looking to quickly find specific items. This is one of my favorite places to spend a morning, and it might become yours too!

If anyone who reads this is familiar with the rummage sales at First Presbyterian Church in Lake…read moreForest IL, The Economy Shop reminds me SO much of that kind of thing. The Economy Shop is literally a Victorian style house with every room crammed with secondhand goods and antiques. They're only open 3-4 days a month from 9am-3pm, so you need to plan your visit. When you enter, you're handed a paper sheet that is divided into different categories of merchandise. When you go to each room, they total up whatever you want to buy from that given room. When you're completely done shopping, you pay at the far back of the house and exit. Prices are fair and you can find some great stuff here. The basement was one area that was overwhelming. Almost too much to look at and fully absorb. Tips for first time visitors: 1. Bring reusable bags or a tote bag. They will give you bags but a good sturdy bag will work to your advantage. 2. Parking is tricky. You're fine on residential streets but if you park along the train tracks, you have to feed a meter. $2.00 per hour. Card payment only. 3. Leave small kids at home. The rooms and hallways are too packed and tight to reasonably manage kids in tow. I like this place! I will be back!
