Now.. let's just hold our horses here a minute. Why is there a Z and not an S after Joey? Maybe the change in that one letter makes all the difference in the world and I am suddenly hip and cool when I tell people: "Yeah bro; I shop at Joey'zzzzzzzzzzzzz" or maybe it's meant to be pronounced with a French accent so people think you're super sophisticated for shopping there. So if you're still actually reading my ramblings, the reason why I like this store and always stop by when I'm in town is because they have really nice, cheap household items. I'm specifically referring to curtains, table cloths, and kitchen gadgets. The designs and styles are beautiful and in my side of town are rare to come across unless you're willing to shovel out a small fortune and even then they don't look as nice. Thank you Joey, Le Joey'zzzzzzzzzz or yo Joeyz for making something cheap look beautiful and expensive.

It's inspiring. It really draws you in. As for the actual merchandise, it's definitely not expensive, but the store is chock-full of the stuff that gets 2 stars on Amazon, the cheap no-brand imports that might photograph OK from one angle and one angle only. (I actually saw a dish rack here that I nearly bought on Amazon but shied away from because it looked likely to fall apart. It was cheaper at Joey'z but no less questionable -- and I'm just cheap enough that I might go back for it.) If you want thin curtains or normal shower curtains, they have a HUGE selection! Seriously, more than Bed, Bath & Beyond. But nothing over about $15.

I went there 2 times and both times when I walked in, the lady just looked at me and turned her head. I asked if she could help me grab something on the top shelf and she sighed, grabbed it for me and then when I asked a simple "wow, this is different! have you tried this?" She said in a very irritating manner "i dont know anything about that. I just sell it so just leave it there if you dont want it." All while walking away from me, no eye contact. I then stood in line waiting and waiting to be checked out while she was having side conversations with someone she knew. Conversations about grandchildren even though shes only in her 60's and how she wants one, how she doesnt want to wait till shes "10ft under" (thought the saying was 6ft under but anyways), talking about a restaurant near by, etc etc ALL WHILE SHE KNEW I WAS WAITING TO BE RUNG UP. As soon as I was about to put my stuff down and walk out, she goes "you need something?" I told her "yeah I'm waiting for you to ring me out." And she took my stuff, rang it, took my money AND THEN CONTINUED HER CONVO WHILE HOLDING ONTO MY MONEY!! She didnt put it in the register, she didnt get my change, she just held onto it and carried on with her conversation. I then wanted to take the money back and leave, thats when she opened the register, got my change and as I held my hand out for her to hand me my change, she just laid it on the counter for me to pick the change up. She didn't put my things in a bag, she didn't say thank you nor did she say goodbye. She just put my change on the counter and continued her conversation with the other person. I don't ever really see cars parked on their side of the parking lot and My mother and I were the only customers. No wonder why! I have a business of my own, my whole family does. That is not how you run a business. I felt SO disrespected while shopping there. I was not rude, I was smiley when I walked in and I always try to speak politely and professionally. If that lady isnt the owner then that place needs a new employee or new staff members. Someone who can utilize the down time to tidy up the place and can offer decent customer service. Completely unacceptable. I would give it 0 stars if I could, shame to this business.

I'm hoping that it's due to the labor day rush and they haven't had a chance to stock up yet, but on the whole, I always look forward to Ocean State and will be back.

But seriously, the sign did say 50% off women's tops, and I'd never been to that particular shop, so ya know how that goes--I made hubby pull a u-turn and we went in. It's a small place, but neat and clean. It felt more like a boutique than a secondhand store (it does call itself a "thrift boutique," so that's pretty apt a description). Everything is organized, and they've got a little bit of everything, including a small back room with decor items and housewares. Prices seemed reasonable. I picked up a pretty scarf for $4 and a leopard print tote for $3, both in excellent condition. This is a place to come in, poke around, and find some treasures to add to your wardrobe. So glad we stopped by!

I always take a look at the men's shirts first. I was very surprised to see them tagged at $12 here, which is substantially more than I customarily see at the Simsbury store, where I've picked up quite a few similar long sleeve Oxford shirts for $5. Otherwise, the store is very neat and organized and has the usual accompaniment of clothing, footwear, accessories, household goods, books, etc. I'm definitely a fan of thrift and second hand stores, and even though I was looking for a long sleeve white shirt, I walked out empty-handed today.
