I consider this the best thrift store in the area; not only is the selection huge, but the prices…read moreare unbeatable. They have huge sections of clothes (women/men/children), shoes, housewares, small appliances, media (video/music/books), toys, games, and even a small section with furniture. The prices are MUCH better than what I had recently seen at a different store. They do have a parking lot, which gets fairly busy, but I've always found a space. To drop off items for donation, you can just bring you car to the front of the shop, and there are large plastic bins where you can place your items. There is usually an employee there who can advise you, and can also give you a slip to fill out for tax deductions. Tip - If you do drop off items for donation, they have been giving out coupons you can use in the store too. We were able to get an additional 20% off this way!

Dollar Tree (previously "Deal$," which, of course, made it difficult to find on Yelp because the…read moresearch function thinks you're looking for rando deals) has a fun few aisles of baubles to entertain the most persnickety of rugrats, as well as such mainstays as $1 coloring books. Around the holidays, check out the window-facing aisle for themed schwag to round out your shopping trip. On our most recent trip, there was a fair bit of chaos around the store, with some items strewn around the floor in places. On the plus side, I found a four-pack of LR-44 button-size watch batteries, which some annoying toy manufacturers will actually specify for their kid-oriented noisemakers, but you can't beat it for $1. Yet a gallon of milk costs $4.50, which is a far cry from the $3.69 at the nearest Stop & Shop and my absolute go-to place for moo juice, Trader Joe's, which sells it as low as $2.89 per gallon. Given that folks of modest means generally patronize this store, it seems rather untoward to jack up the cost of lactose here. Other than that, it's a pretty good store.

Closeouts, closeouts, and, oh yeah, more closeouts!…read more It's clear that this store has been around for a long time, and is still doing well. The first time I was here was when I was a toddler in the 90s, and now I'm old enough to see what they have, and yes I've been here a few times. This store has a huge clothing section, and limited selections of pajamas, slippers, undergarments, luggage, bath towels, table cloths, kitchen supplies, and shower curtains. Most of the areas were very organized, but the kitchen supply area was a little messy. But then again, I don't come here for that. So what do I come here for? It depends, but usually it's for pajamas, table cloths, and shower curtains. But I don't get all of them in one visit. Sure, I can get those anywhere, but why here? REALLY LOW PRICES. Other stores would charge higher for these items, including Wal*Mart, but because these are closeouts, you won't expect to spend A LOT on just one item. Regardless of brands and low pricing, I've never had a major issue with anything that I got here. Keep in mind that because this is a closeout store, what they have on the shelves and racks is all they've got. During my recent visit, I needed to see if they had any short-sleeved pajamas as mine were getting close to being worn out. But all I saw were the winter ones, and when I asked to see if they had any, they politely told me that what they receive and stock is all they've got. I was disappointed, but I understood. Maybe they'll have it next time or something. But I didn't walk out empty-handed though. I was able to get a new table cloth at a cool price since my old one was just way too out-dated. Customer service is always fine. Overall it's a really fine store. I will always stop here whenever I'm in the area, particularly when I'm coming back from Ikea or Jersey Gardens Mall via US 1 & 9.

Enter Dollar Tree where everything's a buck. Too bad a dollar is worth fifteen cents versus the 1967 baseline so, is that power strip from parts unknown really up to the task of the six plugs you have dangling from it. Don't worry, that dollar smoke alarm should get you out in plenty of time - guaranteed or your money back. Would George Washington lie to you? History recalls that the good General even purchased his dentures here. You got it, one dollar. Call me magnanimous but I like to pay at least eight quarters for my home security apparatus and dental appliances. Fifteen cents doesn't buy what it used to, especially if you're in the market for sense of the common variety. These stores I'll never understand. One star. One buck. See you at the next garage sale.
