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. This is my new go to for Brazilian nuts, split peas, dark chocolate covered cherries, and more ! Conveniently located off Stadium & South Industrial. Highly recommend

I wanted to give a review for Stacey who works at this location. I was in line with a lot of items…read more She was dealing with a rude customer for 5 minutes. She was professional when the man was running his mouth. She handled it well and with composure. I was impressed because that is rare these days. I will be coming back. She handled my transactions very well despite the delay. Also, the store was well organized compared to a few I have been to. Very nice and I will be a regular.

Thank you to the other Yelpers who mentioned that there is no customer bathroom available. I made a stop nearby first for that. Yes, there is no bathroom which is unfortunate as I would have had to leave if I didn't know that in advance. I wish they would consider adding a bathroom as emergencies happen, even if you prepare. Price, selection, quality and unique variety (lots of arts and crafting materials) all great. Super clean and organized so well! Team members were all so nice and seemed like they really liked working there!! That's a good sign. I can't wait to return. I bought a car full of toys, shoes, craft materials, and kitchenware. Oh, and a fab lamp!! The parking lot made me nervous though!! This place was packed on a Thursday at 1:30 pm. There was a line of cars down the street waiting to enter the lot, and cars were backing up so close to others, watched two accidents nearly happen while waiting for a spot. They could use a larger lot.

This is a busy thrift store, full of treasure that changes frequently. There is a main store, and a…read moresmaller separate store (with fancier stuff - ish). Check out both. Because of the popularity of this store, it is fair to say you can expect to find new offerings all the time. Outside of the fact that all items are second hand, and therefore cheaper than a brand new item, the prices are a little higher than other thrifts. However - it's very clean and very well organized, and that requires a lot of staff hours. Everyone that works there knows what they are doing - it's a well oiled machine. You have to pay a fee to use a credit card, so bring cash.

Their clothes selection could be better but I was quite pleased with their purse variety and rings…read more I spent a long time looking through all the racks for the rings. I wish they were organized with rings on one rack instead of mixed with earrings. And it would have been more helpful if it was organized fully by size. I looked at Marshall's purses, DSW's purses, and Ross' and Nordstrom Rack had the best selection! It's helpful to look at the purses in person because I was SO close to purchasing a name brand online but when I looked in person, I keep forgetting how heavy they are! I liked the brand Thatcher. It was half the price of the name brands and the material is water proof and soft. Very happy with my purchase!

Now they've expanded in there and they've filled the space with even more beautifully curated goodies, new and "found." There's a bit of everything in here, perfect for finding a gift for a friend, family, or a partner, or a little goodie for yourself. They've got beautiful art prints from independent artists, handmade ceramics, plus stationery, a bangin' candle section, lovely housewares and textiles like throws, pillows, and tea towels, plus jewelry, the list goes on and on. Plus when you shop here you're really shopping small, because most of what they carry falls into that category. If you go to their website you can take a look at a list of the artists they carry in store, and I love recognizing names of friends and people I admire in their respective fields. It's a delight digging through all their offerings and I highly recommend you get there soon to do it yourself!

Nickels Arcade is always a must stop for me when I'm in Ann Arbor…read more Located in a small alley near State Street and The Diag, Nickels Arcade offers a cobblestone pathway and numerous local shops that are so incredibly unique. Most shops are closed by 5pm or 7pm so I definitely recommend stopping by early in the day if you can. However, Nickels Arcade is still perfect to stroll by in the evening as well. I wanted to visit Bon Bon, a local chocolate shoppe, but unfortunately they were closed by the time I made it during my most recent visit. I loved that they offered a menu outside so I could still look at what they offered. Another shop I'd like to stop at during my next visit is Comet Coffee. I am always interested in finding new coffee spots and the window art on Comet's window was so inviting! Other shops in the alley include a barbershop, tobacco shop, and various antique shops. Spend an hour strolling through the shops. You won't regret it!

One of the lady- staffer always teases me that I spend way too much time shopping. I originally tell she Im just running in for a few things, and end up spending over an hour going up and down all the areas. That other Dollar Tree has a really rude guy working there. He was snippy with me when I placed my own bag on the counter. I prefer to use my larger nylon bags instead of a bunch of their bags. A tall old black guy that should know better to be unkind to people.

Not only did we walk in shortly before and as they're both cleaning up the store, putting items back where they belong you know the typical closing routine. Without hesitation they helped my daughter and myself find items throughout the store. I was in a hurry and did not know layout of store and with Dollar Tree not all stores carry everything other stores may. I must say, Brock and April we're so helpful, friendly, not bothered by helping us like most closing employees would be and to be quite honest, these two employees are KEEPERS and should be recognized for their amazing dedication to not only their job, most importantly the consumers!! I will shop back at this store again. I had several bad experiences at this location 5+ years ago and never shopped here until tonight. so happy I did and the store gained my business back Due to these two awesome individual!!
