Really nice local thrift/resale shop.. it's more akin to a bougie boutique consignment store- it's…read moredefinitely not your mom's thrift store like Salvation Army or goodwill! Prices are definitely good- they're not that steep and the store is so clean, bright, well stocked and has a nice layout and vibe.. it smells nice, which is a bonus! I've found sweaters new with original tag from Nordstrom and Macy's and even some Madewell.. I picked up some nice Hearth and Hand decorative objects, too- at a derp discount.. They get a ton of new revolving inventory daily, either new or barely used..you don't have to go hunting for the gem or bring sanitizer! As for clothing, they often have a lot of smaller sizes which suits me to a T. The prices might be slightly higher for true bargain hunters or folks who like the bins (not for me, though), but the inventory and sales people are so nice it's worth it! They have a decent return policy and slightly discount prices on stagnant inventory.. they have everything from clothes and outerwear to accessories, toys, furnishings and seasonal decor.

Their motto is "Good Stuff Cheap" and I agree to an extent. I found me a good book in here. I really like their book section and especially the Inspirational section. I bought a women's Bible at another location. They are usually jammed packed with items. Take your time and look. Also, check expiration dates!

I love Ollies my mom took me to this store for the first time and wow. They have such an amazing…read morebook selection!!! Super affordable too! After wandering the store for what seemed like hours, I realized they had nearly everything you can imagine from books, games, puzzles, and toys to pet products, home essentials, bedding, cookware, appliances and more. I forgot the gentlemen's name that assisted us, but he was so sweet! The cashier was absolutely hilarious and quite literally is the MAIN reason I will make the drive to flint over any location.

I remember visiting North Carolina and going to Gabe's. I love that it's a discounted bargain store. We pulled up and there's plenty of parking. I entered the store and found my small suitcase and some more items. Thanks, Gabe's. I love this store and the prices. See you next time.

A more haphazardly organized lower end TJ Max or home goods…read more. This store is - odd.. they do carry a wide variety of lightweight home furnishings and decor, seasonal items, beauty, clothing, shoes, housewares, toys, gourmet food items, accessories, and baby stuff.. but it's so disorganized.. it's nearly impossible to look for anything.. it's like if Dollar General and TJ Maxx had a baby- it could be Gabe's.. They occasionally have a few items of interest, yet the displays are awful) yet better than than in comparison to the day they first opened)........but it's always a bit of a eyesore.. it always seems as if the manager needs to straighten the place up.. it is chaos!! Or vest are hit or miss/ sometimes low, occasionally off the mark.. I've seen carhart jackets and j crew pants for decent prices and yet I've looked at tankless candles pretty cedar as much as the original retailer and cheap looking sesdinal decor I can buy at dollar tree at an 1/8th the price.. If you want to go bargain hunting, be prepared to look around awhile- and bring hand sanitizer.. and don't be disappointed that toy couldn't find much because of the disorganized clutter!! Don't bother requesting help from an associate- even if you can spot one.. they do their best to ignore customers..

Maybe I went on a bad day because there were lots of repeat items and things that just didn't interest me. If you enjoy looking through a lot of boxes searching for a deal, you might enjoy this.

My partner attended the University of Michigan for undergrad all the way through her PhD (roughly…read more10 years). When I met her in 2018, she introduced me to the wonderful place that is By The Pound (we affectionately refer to it as BTP), and it was always a treat to visit. We always stocked up on their candy (which, by the way, is of the highest quality and with EXTREMELY fair prices), coffee, almost any flour you can think of, and any odd spice that you may need. If you only need a tablespoon of something for a recipe that isn't in your cupboard, you don't have to go to Meijer and buy a whole bottle of something you'll rarely ever use! The employees are all very friendly as well. Whenever you need assistance, they go above and beyond to help. Since, we moved to Athens, GA, and BTP is at the top of the list (right next to Sparrow Meat Market) of stores we miss. We often talk about tossing our graduate degrees and just opening up a bulk foods shop here in town. We miss having this resource at our fingertips. The past 2 years, we return to the Michigan area during the winter holidays and always make sure to stop at BTP. Their treats make great stocking stuffers, and I ALWAYS have to stock up on those dark chocolate coconut clusters (I just finished the last one -- hence writing this review -- and I'm sad I can't find anything like them on the internet or here in town). Anyways, highly, HIGHLY recommend By The Pound.

Loads of dry goods in terms of food including nuts, lentils, beans, cereals, flour (all kinds), teas, spices, candy but also some liquids - honey, vanilla extract, etc. love that I can choose my own amount 1/4 lb 1/2 lb etc. but now super conscious when I'm using too much plastic bags. Price are decent - you pay a little more for convenience of options. Employees are friendly and helpful.
