Nice store and nice selection of brands (Anthropologie, Everlane, Madewell, vintage). However…read morethey're not really steals or deals with the pricing. Most things were $24 and up. I asked the store associate about sales and there was one $4 rack with unremarkable pieces. I didn't find the employees to be very warm nor friendly, so after asking about the sales, I didn't bother to inquire further. No hello upon entry. No offer to help, nor questions about if I was looking for anything specific. I was kind of surprised by the lack of warmth, given the mission of this organization. Unfortunately, I doubt I'll return. I highly recommend My Closet Space consignment in nearby Drexel Hill for some pieces that aren't as pricey.

As you can guess, I am an avid thrift shopper. And with experienced thrifting comes expectations…read more This store did not meet my expectations. I haven't been here in years, but since I was in the area, I figured 'Hey, why not?". The moment I entered the door, the older lady working the counter gave me a dirty look, including a once-over like she was better than me or something. Not cool. But, brushing it off, I decided I still wanted to visit their infamous "Dollar Room". I found a cute pair of white cutoff shorts with a dark blue nautical anchor pattern on them for one dollar! Of course, when I went up to the counter with the shorts, the lady tried to make nice with me by discussing what a great find they were, but I just smiled, paid, and left. The jewelry in the other room was so-so, and the prices were normal for main line thrift stores. (Too high for my taste though!) I didn't even look upstairs so I don't know what else they had. Maybe someone else will brave the beast at the front desk and check out the stuff upstairs. I just didn't have the patience to play nice with a snob,

I really wanted to like this place! I'm a frequent thrifter, and I love when the proceeds benefit a…read moregood cause. But here were some of the issues I encountered: 1. Quality of the clothes (dirty/stained/major pilling or wear). This usually doesn't bother me at thrift stores since obviously the clothes are preowned, but I encountered SO MANY dirty, stained, pilling, super worn-out clothes. One white button-down from the Gap had huge, brownish armpit stains! Gross! The shoes were pretty dirty, too. And this ties in to the next issue-- 2. Pricing (too high considering the quality!) Clothes were obviously priced according to their brands rather than their condition. This makes sense...to a point. I get it. But selling a fleece jacket that is completely misshapen, faded, pilling, at the end of its usable life for $15 just because it is North Face seems wrong somehow. Most of the quality-brand clothes I saw (J. Crew, Anne Taylor, etc.) had such pilling and wear that the prices just didn't seem justified. 3. Rude staff. I don't have too much to say about this because I don't want to call anyone out--I get that it's a volunteer operation--but, seriously. The lady working there was just plain rude. 4. Counterfeit/fake items. I saw several fake handbags for sale. Their printed price tag for one of these actually said "Burberry handbag--fake." What??????? The real designer bags were locked up in a glass display case while several fakes were knowingly placed around the store. Selling counterfeit handbags is illegal. It's also tacky considering the emphasis on high-end brands. All in all too many cons for me. If they lowered their prices, were more discriminating with their stock, and worked on customer service that would make a big difference. If you decide to visit, make sure you're feeling patient and ready to hunt really hard for a good deal. And bring hand sanitizer! :)

This is one of those times when I debate with myself...should I say something about this place, or…read moreshould I keep it all to myself? Because in the world of thrifting, this place harkens to the old style - jumble of items, packed, run by volunteers for the benefit of a charity. You know, treasure hunts. I love treasure hunts. I'm on my way to downtown Lansdowne one morning and I see a simple wooden A-frame sign: "Re-Purpose Shop". Oooh. Interesting name. Will it be like a Habitat store? Something else? I turn on the side street, then into the parking lot of the church it's housed in. Hm.. No more signs. Well, that door looks logical, so I go in...to an empty hall and kitchen area...but wait, beyond that, some light. Ah! They have two rooms, and have partitioned so one is clothes and the other is 'everything else'. The shelves are packed and there's stuff along the floor too. Roughly categorized, it was so much fun rooting through and finding some cool stuff. The volunteers are very cool, one has a small dog who greeted me with a welcoming sniff, wearing his little doggy Eagles sweater. Aw. Then I was not interesting and he went back to whatever he was doing. This is not a place run by professional organizations under the mask of 'thrift'. It's not neat and super shiny. It's a mad wonderful jumble, and for a treasure hunter it's an absolutely great place to be. They're only open a couple of days a week. I had cash, I don't remember if they take plastic. Benefits the church's programs which include their food pantry.

The small church basement thrift store expanded to another room for good reason. Tons of donations. The second room is stuff with tons of great bargains at a discounted price. The main room is filled with books, kitchen items, house items and a kids corner which is filled with toys and board games. The great prices along with the staff being super friendly is why this rating is a 4. Everytime I stop in I always find a great deal on something. Today it was a $1 under armour sweatshirt and $2 set of 8 pyrex bowls. I always stop in to see what new stuff has arrived and I'm never disappointed. Not many hours but that doesn't stop people. The place was packed. I'll definitely be back and if you're in the area you gotta check out the friendly staff and great prices.

2 Friends recently relocated to its new location from 536 Burmont Road, where it shared quarters…read moreand parking with Burmont Hardware and Rex Dry Cleaners (both excellent). Yelp limits a user's categorization of a shop like this one to "thrift stores" but this is less a thrift shop than a high end consignment and gift business with remarkably affordable prices. Yes, you read that correctly: Owner Joanne Rebold is very intentional about her inventory and very price conscious. She understands that moving stock is more important than storing it. That's rare these days, isn't it? The premises are remarkably clean, beautifully well organized and appointed and appropriately lighted. At the front of 2 Friends you'll find an excellent selection of women's, men's and children's clothing, and arranged for convenient browsing. What you won't find at 2 Friends are ripped stitches, tears or moth holes in anything Joanne sells because she's meticulous about condition. To the left of the entrance stands a lovely (and often asked about) china cabinet full of crystal, dishware and fine porcelain. Among today's takeaways were a Beleek china bud vase for twelve (!) dollars, typically priced at $65.00 to $75.00 elsewhere (check Rubylane if you don't believe me). Now, take a deep breath, backtrack and read that sentence again. This sort of shopping find is rarer than hens' teeth on the ground these days. Dig a little more deeply into the china cabinet and you'll find full sets of designer dishware (Pfaltzgraff stoneware, Royal Worcester tea sets), cut crystal (today's visit turned up sparkling Waterford and Wexford sets) and Royal Danish holiday pieces all elegantly presented and priced to sell. Keep walking through this immaculate store and you'll pass designer handbags, vintage women's hats from the twenties and thirties (I counted no fewer than a half dozen cloches, smartly displayed), jewelry, brass, flatware, toys and on and on. You never know what you'll find so stop by often. Joanne's stock changes daily and her consignment traffic is high. What sets 2 Friends apart from so many other neighborhood consignment shops is that Joanne offers high tea for groups in an ever-evolving, ever improving back room. The 2 Friends "tearoom" is already booked weeks in advance for reading groups, local women's organizations and product demonstrations so be sure to make your reservations early because her calendar is filling up quickly. Parking is a little bit of a challenge because meters line the lot out front. However, there's ample free parking a hundred yards past the store on Woodland so keep heading west until you find a spot. 2 Friends is tucked into a row of stores flanking the Drexel Hill Post Office and set in the business district of historic downtown Aronimink. If you're planning a consignment junket to the Main Line remember to add 2 Friends to your itinerary. You won't be disappointed. This is a local treasure owned and operated by one of Upper Darby's leading lights. Brava...
