I've been in good and bad parts of cities in thrift shops - I've done it all. But when I walked into Dig & Save, I almost immediately walked out (and wished I had!). I see that others enjoy it here, but it did do anything to me compared to the Goodwill Bins. Small section of clothing, no purses or shoes (that I was able to find), and then a large area for hardwares. When I came across an extremely dirty pair of ripped boxers, I decided that my time there was done and walked out.

Madison seems to have 3 types of thrift stores. Goodwill, St Vinnies, and those run by churches…read moreand/or church ladies. This is the latter type, and they all seem to be very similar (Bethesda, Agrace, etc). Less crowds, traffic, anxiety, and clutter than Goodwill and St Vinnies, but also less selection. Check back regularly and you will find some treasures. For the most part the prices are fair. If I specifically need something, I start with Goodwill, because I have the best chance of browsing. But I dont always feel like stopping in Goodwill just to browse. Versus it can be very peaceful to stop in Boomerangs, or similar. I've probably been there a dozen times since they opened, and bought something 3 of the times. They have furniture, which not all thrift stores carry. The staff has always been helpful.

I absolutely loved visiting this shop. It's so clean, organized, and thoughtfully set up, which…read moremakes browsing such a fun experience. Everything is displayed nicely and easy to look through, with no clutter like some antique stores. The owners are super friendly and helpful, and I love that they've stated it's a greed free store, it really shows in their fair and reasonable pricing. The selection is amazing with so many unique pieces, and you can tell they truly care about creating a welcoming space. I'll definitely be coming back to see what new treasures they get in!

I've been shopping at this particular Dollar Tree for close to a decade now. Compared to other…read moreDollar Trees in the Madison area, this one is usually neat and clean. It's easy to find items that you need here. But the real reason I'm writing this review is that a staff member, Susan, went above and beyond for me a week ago. I had a horrible dining experience near West Towne Mall, and was crying in the store when Susan saw me and gave me a hug. She didn't worry if I had COVID or that I was a stranger she didn't know - she simply did the next right thing. For that, Susan deserves a gold medal, or at least a 5-star review. Dollar Tree-Mineral Point Road, keep doing what you do. Keep being friendly and kind. I will certainly understand if you're short-staffed and have to be closed early one day. You are worth it!

I love buying candy for the movies here and I like the tiny boxes and bags of cookies. I stock up on snacks before we go on vacation. I buy decorations for different holidays to decorate my Dad's room at the nursing home. The store was cleaner a few years ago but I still shop there. Checkout clerks are usually friendly.

Since Madison's "hippie Christmas" turned out to be a bit of a bust, we were really looking forward…read moreto checking out SWAP today. It's only open to the public on Fridays and the 2nd Saturday of each month. Never heard of it? Neither had I. From the SWAP website: "SWAP collects, processes, and redistributes surplus property generated by UW-Madison and state agencies, while providing UW-Madison departments, government agencies and non-profit organizations with low-cost, quality surplus equipment and supplies and finding reuse and recycling markets for surplus property. " And what does this mean? Deals, deals, deals! Once we found the proper exit off of 151-S in Verona, we walked into a warehouse busting with furniture, electronics, and computers. The inventory changes weekly, with new (well, old actually) additions coming from all the UW sites across the state in 20 - 30 truckloads a week! You'll find solid desks ($5-30), 60s-style chairs ($5), metal file cabinets, gym lockers, random electronics and lab equipment, and cheap computers. They even have some Badger sports equipment and uniforms. Oh, and ever wonder what happened to that old rusty bike you left chained to a campus bike rack for a season or two? You'll probably find it here for $5. Today they were giving away free dorm chairs (as many as you'd like) with a purchase. Once we crammed our loot into the car, we drove away with six cool vintage chairs for a total of $10. Not too shabby! Check their website for listings of new inventory and their online auction, too.

This past Saturday, they were selling lots of Badger gear from the swimming/diving team, rowing team and the tennis team. There was a large variety of shirts for $5 each, sweatshirts for $20, jackets for $30, etc. They had a lot of badger seat cushions for $.25/each. I wish I needed chairs. There were so many really nice chairs there (starting at $5 each). Lots of shelves, file drawers, tables, lab equipment, computer stuff, etc. We scooped up an awesome set of 8 lockers for $35 (previously marked for $100). The set is in great shape and will come in really handy. Give yourself about an hour to peruse the aisles. The prices are super low and can't be beat. They do have an online bidding site also for their more popular items. Open to the public the 2nd Saturday of each month.

Halley and her colleagues offer individual care and excellent customer service, plus lots of creativity and ideas. As an example, Halley knew I was looking for a dress for a special occasion. She helped me check out several options, and then several days later, emailed me a photo of another dress that came to the shop that I might want to consider. That's what I call going above and beyond! The shop is full of hip, reasonably-priced women's clothing that you might see in NYC or LA. It's the perfect place to pick up a gift for a girlfriend, with lots of cool jewelry, handbags and accessories. Much of the jewelry is locally made. Be sure to check out the kid clothing and toys upstairs. My brother and sister in law traveled from Chicago for a visit, and swung by the Goose for a gift for my daughter - they also were very impressed with this fun, hip shop and my daughter loves the wooden toy pizza they gave her. The Purple Goose also is committed to giving back to the community - another great quality.
