**November 2025: Tuesday Afternoon Visit**…read more I always try to visit at least one charity shop when I travel and Experience Goods seemed like a good one to check out. I love that proceeds from this shop benefits a hospice care facility and that they had a parking lot for patrons. On my visit they had some ugly Christmas sweaters, variety of jewelry pieces, and coats. Thy also had misc knick knacks, furnitures, children and men's items. Pricing for items seemed reasonable here. It's a cozy thrift shop and I think it's worth a visit depending on what you're looking for.

Nice selection of vintage clothing- fewer household items than I like- hence the 4 starsread more

I just came from there today. in the past, this SA has been my go-to. I went often and found…read moregreat stuff. But recently it's not been stocked as well. The store used to have excellent choices in furniture but no longer. A lot of the clothes are in poor condition and there are fewer good brands. Its sending me looking elsewhere.

It's a perfect stop if you're on a road trip through Vermont or spending the day in Brattleboro. This store is fantastic for sweet and stylish clothes. The prices are fantastic. I got three skirts for $21. It has a really nice set up and the staff are incredibly friendly. The woman running the shop left the shop open an hour later because I got there just as they were closing and it was a Sunday. Just a nice little place to get some good inexpensive clothes. They say that they specialize in Gap, Abercrombie, etc but the real goodies are the brands that aren't famous and preppy (at least for me). Definitely visit if you get the chance.

Great place to stop, lots of booths, not too cluttered, good variety of housewares, furniture, etc…read more Half of the store is the antiques/co-op, the other side is all $1. Found a large bowl in one booth with no price. Matt and I bartered for a good price and I walked out with a new bowl to use for my Christmas cookies. I could spend many hours in here. Will stop back when in the area again.

I love this place, stop in and try their homemade pies…read more I ride my Harley at a leisurely pace, touring across the French King bridge and around the Quabbin. The beauty of Western Mass is summed up in the view of the Connecticut River from the bridge, especially during foliage season. But I digress, back to the Freight House, my favored stop on my tours. It's a worn place, antiques lining its broad porch and spilling over into the neighboring area with cement and stone yard ornaments. Don't be deterred! Inside you'll find rooms stuffed with antique brick-a-brac, but make your way to a stool at the food counter. Service is prompt and personable - well, of course, there's only a handful of stools. The prices are fair, and I love this unassuming oasis and the folks that work here, so I tip generously. I've sampled most of the menu items, and always been satisfied. But the hidden gems are the homemade pies. I love a good pie, and most pies don't measure up. I look for a great crust, flakey on top and bottom. Then I want a good filling, full of authentic flavor, not cloyingly sweet, or runny, or gelatinous. Tough to find? Yup! Found it here, at Freight House, every time. Great pie (and food), a cup of coffee, and I'm off to the French King bridge, the Quabbin, and the open road.

What an utter waste of time. I was making my way back from Northwest Vermont towards Boston, and a…read morefriend mentioned there was a good antique place in this town, but couldn't recall the name. This is what popped up via search engine, and I cannot believe this could be the place my friend intended. The setting looked so cool, in photos and as I pulled up. I'd driven an hour to get there, and was dying to hit the restroom before looking around, and there were all kinds of unwelcoming signs everywhere. "Bathroom for customers only," well considering this is in BFE, I can't imagine tons of randos are just stumbling through the door. There was a small cafe attached, and that seemed to be the only part doing any business. And after a quick wander around the shop, that made total sense, because the prices on the antiques and other items were absolute insanity. A small jar of used golf tees: $18. Little saucers I find at my local goodwill for 99 cents, around $20. Tiny jars of nothing-special buttons: $24. The vibe was decidedly crotchety-old-should-not-run-a-business. I get businesses dealing with public can be not fun, but the tone of the whole place was just "get off my lawn." No thanks! Friends, spend your time and money elsewhere. These people should retire.

Recently I stopped in at this TNT Firework Supercenter and have to say that I loved it! The store…read morewas packed with a ton of different items ranging from sparklers to larger fireworks, and the items were reasonably priced. When I went in they were having a buy one get one free sale, so I made it a point to stock up on fireworks in anticipation of the 4th of July. The staff here was really great, and the manager was helpful in deciding what items to buy. He made it a point to be available, but it never felt as though he was monitoring my travels in the store. In the end I spent under $30 and walked out with a ton of items.

We headed down to Hinsdale to check out the two big fireworks showrooms, figuring we would purchase from the one that had the better selection and pricing. Unfortunately, I was disappointed with TNT. Their selection was far inferior to that of their neighbor, with only a few assortment packs to choose from vs 20+ next door. While they seemed to have better deals, when there isn't much to choose from it isn't really a plus. The big problem I had with this store was the pushy nature of the employees. While I was left completely alone at the other store, the staff at this store were constantly trying to sell me something. They even followed me and my kids around the store. I stated repeatedly that we were fine and were just looking, but three different employees tried to sell us something in the 10 minutes we were there. This is exactly why I do most of my shopping online. Too bad fireworks can't be shipped. I get that they are trying to make a living, but give me a break. Instead of making a couple extra bucks, they failed to gain a regular customer. I'll be going next door for years to come.
