They had an amazing variety of gifts from Maine/Portland, and everything was fairly priced.

I can't wait to come here again.

This store was a bit grungy. It truly would help to shut it down for a few days and scrub down everything. That being said, it wasn't bad enough to deter me from picking up a few items. I got some cannoli's from the bakery. They shell was a bit soggy, however the cream was spot on. It was not the best but in a pinch, I would buy them again. The lobster salad roll was better than expected. I ate it right in the parking lot. It's not a lobster roll, it has pieces of lobster along with some imitation lobster and too much mayonnaise. Would I buy another one? Sure, I wish they had these in Publix here in Florida.

Take your time and wander, if you rush through then there is so much you will miss. Everything from furniture (surprisingly affordable), dishes, instruments, clothing, etc. so much to look at. As you roam you realize that there is a back room! And in a corner of that backroom a vintage record shop! Vintage records, music posters, vintage electronics all there. It was nice to just roam but be able to ask questions about items if you had one. The vintage jewelry was organized neatly in cases, very easy to look through and explore. The area this place is in is neat as well. Lots of shops, Including a vintage book store that was just unreal. Stop in at the starbucks across the street for some caffeine load up and get shopping!

You can't come to Maine and not walk through a Reny's, A Maine Adventure. If you know, you know. So…read moreI did my walk around. And looked at the lobster bake supplies, and clothing, and shoes. All great items for camping or for your home at great prices. I had asked if they had a bathroom, and they said no. And later as I'm walking around, I notice all the business say no bathroom on the outside of their door. Not even if you're a customer. A lot of homelessness that has made it difficult for paying customers to use the bathrooms. It's sad, cause I had done hours of walking around Old Port and Portland area, and there's no place to go to the bathroom. Times have changed

Ocean State Job Lot is a store I have not visited frequently. They are often classified as discount…read morestores or a store that sells items at closeout prices. My wife and I needed to waste some time before another spot opened nearby and we decided to swing in. I will say they had some large name brand items that appeared to be cheaper than other places offer them. Although I do think part of the issue with here and other similar stores is the fact a lot of items are more or less junk in reality once you look past the commonly known brands. To their credit the store was well organized and offered a large variety of items ranging from houseware, clothes, seasonal items even some Christmas and Halloween stuff still. Was surprising that Halloween stuff was only discounted by 50% off considering how long it's been since the holiday. Service check out wise was quick and friendly. If you search around I think you can find some good deals but a lot of it seems questionable quality wise even at the "discounted" prices. As a lifelong Mainer I think I'd be quicker to return to Marden's than Ocean State. In the end, not too bad for a quick browse to waste some time.

I scored a genuine leather flat cap from Meyer the Hatter for $25. When I got home, I looked up the original price and it was $125! Huge steal. I then also grabbed a vintage 90s style striped fleece henley long sleeve for $20. They had your usual vintage clothes and shoes but they also had everything from MTV Raps cards to every little accessory you could think of. Everything is neatly organized by size and color, which made browsing so easy and honestly so enjoyable. I really appreciated how intentional the layout felt. And then the second room... not only do they have 3 dressing rooms but HELLO NOSTALGIA. They have a TV and a Super Nintendo setup where you can literally play Super Mario in between shopping. 10 STARS. I swear shopping here healed a tiny part of my inner child. On top of all that, the women working were really sweet and helpful. Weekend Vintage is an absolute gem of a place. I'll definitely be back.

Having…read morejust moved to Portland a month ago, there were a few "missing items" and "empty spaces" in my humble abode that needed filling. My next door neighbor alerted to me this place and I'm so glad. I picked up four dining chairs (sometimes they are priced as a package deal with a table, but these were actually priced individually and separate from the table). I thought about getting some sort of lounge or easy chair to read in but I haven't converted to Maine vehicle yet, so my Mazda wouldn't fit it. Next time! A gorgeous coffee table also caught my eye, so that item was also purchased. I had to make two trips, but hey-ho. I think prices are great. Obviously, you're getting used items but isn't there something really charming about having furniture that has been lovingly used? (As long as it doesn't smell like a dirty fart) You could go the route of IKEA and I have totally done so on occasion, but let's admit it, most of that crap is crap. Old used furniture was made with love. I can imagine that prices may have climbed in the past few years, though I only have Chicago Salvation Armies to compare it to, and I think the prices are still better here than Chicago five years ago. Stuff probably comes and goes fairly regularly so don't feel defeated on an initial visit. I will definitely venture back here.
