This inspirations has really great clothes, it is obvious that their employees pick items that are in good condition, especially compared to stores like Goodwill. Yes, the pricing is a little higher than other thrift stores but I think it's worth it. I have consistently found great items here like jeans and work pants. If I'm in the area, I always stop by. Also, since my first review I've never had an issue with staffing in the dressing room. Usually someone comes by to unlock one of the rooms when they see you waiting, all of the dressing rooms are usually full with other people trying on clothes but I've never waited long for my turn. I always suggest this thrift store to my friends and am always pleased with my finds here!

Great thrifting experience. They arrange most of their items by type and then size which makes…read morethings much easier and less time consuming that most other thrift stores. The items seem to be in excellent condition and priced in a good range for thrifting- not the cheapest, but definitely more than fair. Look out for the 50% off specific tag colors running daily for the best deals. Would love if their shoes were also by size.

I went to Ocean State Job Lot in 2004. I recall thinking it was some unemployment agency. After…read moredinner at a restaurant in the area, I stumbled across this location. The best description of an Ocean State Job Lot is what Big Lots used to be like until it started focusing more on furniture and moved away from its core business model. Even though I do not frequent this retailer, I will stop if I am vacationing or on a business assignment and spot one. This location was clean and well stocked with plenty of items I had never seen before, like Kit Kat made by Nestle, which is predominantly seen in Japan and Canada. In the United States, Kit Kat is owned by Hershey, thus the flavor options are limited. So, of course, I purchased some unique flavors; even though I had enough clothes, I kicked up several New Jersey-themed t-shirts in the font style of the TV show Friends, which friends well received. It was a fun place to shop during my drive to my hotel.
