My wife gathered up a ton of gently used shoes and clothing for donation. Drove fifteen miles to this specific location since it directly assists women in emergency domestic situations. Today's bargains were 50% off shoes with BOGO books and .25 cds. This place offers true discount thrift pricing. The store was huge and busy with every type of home goods, costume jewelry and clothing. The drop off is at the rear of the building. After the donation, they provided me with a tax donation form.

This place has three separate rooms that are huge and filled with all different types of things. Household items, and antiques, books and gift cards and magazines and DVDs, clothes and shoes, lots of random things. But I love them because they are actually priced like a thrift store! I came out spending more money than any of the other places because it was all priced very low. Give cards for 20 cents. Pictures for $2. Close for $3. And they had very nice brands! This is the best one I've been to so far.

The Halloween stuff is out right now and they had it all organized and easy to go through, saving me tons of money and giving me the opportunity to get costumes together for my kids that I know I would t have been able to afford to do otherwise.

Goodwill was found in 1902 by Boston Minister, Reverand Edgar J. Helms. He took donations from…read morewealthy Bostonians and hired people who were poor and who could fix the items. The items were then given to the people who worked on them or resold. Goodwill's philosophy is "a hand up, not a hand out". Today Goodwill has become a $5 billion nonprofit organization that provides job training, employment, and community programs for people who have disabilities that might prevent them from getting a job on their own. I have shopped as well as donated at Goodwill often through the years. It was a very helpful place to go especially when my daughter would come home from elementary school announcing that she needed an ancient Egypt, scientist, astronaut costume, etc, for school tomorrow. I don't know why her teachers always thought we had a full set of costumes hanging in the back of our closet but off to Goodwill we would go and somehow we always managed to cobble something together. I always liked to visit around the holidays too for cheap decorations and especially at Halloween when they would have inexpensive costumes great for stocking up on those elementary school projects. I used to come to this store once a week for years while my daughter was in her karate class. My best find was a collectors Phantom of the Opera Barbie and Ken in the box for $5. After the studio moved I wasn't in the area as much but I was passing by today and decided to see what had changed. One thing that has changed is that they take your temperature when you walk in the door. This was the first place that I have been that actually did that. Nice to know I don't have a fever. Another new thing is I noticed that they have brand new items for sale, not just thrift. They have it set up as you walk to the checkout like to what you see at Marshalls. There were a lot of new pet supplies. What hasn't changed is the racks of clothes and shelves of housewares. I found a piece of my grandmothers china pattern and I checked out a puzzle for camp but $4 seemed pretty steep for a puzzle that I didn't know if it even had all of the pieces. I think I just gotten spoiled by church sales. I found an app for my phone that lists all of rummage sales in my area and the prices are much cheaper compared to shopping at Goodwill. Once you get used to paying a buck or two for items it seems like Goodwill is overpriced unless there is something you really want like the Lenox spice jars I recently purchased at another location. Anyway it is always fun to look and you never know what you will find. It's great to keep items out of the landfill.

I enjoyed peeking through their large room and smaller back rooms of furniture, small appliances, household items, books, clothes, art, and accessories. They sell vintage and antique items with some modern things thrown in. My favorite area was the adorable kitchen room. You could practically see a grandma standing there baking a pie. If had enough space, I would have scooped up those sweet ceramic vegetable trinket boxes. Everything was actively arranged and clearly priced. Take your time and look closely. There are a lot of cool things to see and prices can be negotiated. The Flip Side has another store in Ft. Lauderdale on Cypress Creek Road in Ft. Lauderdale. I always love supporting a small businesses and especially thrift stores. Help the planet by reducing, recycling, and reusing by thrifting!

They were in the process of rearranging items and shelves, so it was pretty hard to navigate. We did try to see what we could while there. In the back of the store are racks of clothing. You had to squeeze between the racks to see anything. And on the racks the clothing is jammed together. They may have some bargains here. They have a bit of everything -- especially bric a brac -- and anything else you can think of. But it is challenging. Prices seemed reasonable. So come with patience and if you're looking for something specific, ask the staff so they can put you in the right direction.

It is next to…read morethe Presidente supermarket in the Towne Shoppes of Margate along 441 before Sample Rd if you are heading north. According to their website and name they donate proceeds to veterans. How much or what charities it does not specify. They accept your donations or you can shop their store. The inside is a bit cramped but I am convinced you can find gems if you really look. I quickly spotted some vintage Crestone Buttertree stoneware plates from Japan that have become very popular on Ebay and with collectors. They also had a few pieces of furniture, books, collectibles, household goods, toys, and a lot of clothing towards the back of the store. Prices on the few items I checked seemed very reasonable. There is a Family Thrift, Women in Distress, and Goodwill nearby so with this store you can have a nice little thrift outing. Thrifting helps the planet by reducing and reusing while also saving you money. In in this case it is helping veterans too.

They will pick up your gently used clothing and furniture for their stores here in Margate and in Lauderhill. They also do buy outs so their stores are a mixture of new and used items. They have this store in Lauderhill and another one in Margate. I had fun sorting through the treasures. They had clothes, furniture, household goods, decorations, and collectibles. There was a lot of things to look at and I was pleasantly surprised by the variety of inventory. Everything was neat, organized, and fairly priced. I saw several people who looked like resellers picking up items and checking prices on their phones before popping it into their carts. If you see something you like grab it. If you enjoy thrifting you will want to check this store out.

There was a gal vacuuming at the time we came by. The vacuum was heating up and smoking a bit, so she was concerned. There were also some students or volunteers or young new employees -- I couldn't tell which -- being given a tour of the store as we were there. Both were a bit distracting. They have some inventory that will appeal depending on what you're looking for... they don't have much furniture wise. There's a bit of a bunch of different things --linens, housewares, silverware, electronics, books, clothing etc., etc. Most things are organized together by category. Price wise, it's a mix of decent prices and high prices. They have some of the more expensive items near the counter. We didn't love something enough to buy anything here. But we are still glad we came to check them out.

At first their inventory was made up of there own items but now everything they sell is donated. I love their mission which is to help animals. The Shed Thrift is a nonprofit that donates its proceeds to various veterinary hospitals in the area to support people on social security or limited income who need life-saving surgeries for their pets. I collect vintage pieces and Shed Thrift had some items like a chandelier and a set of glasses. They also had furniture, appliances, bikes, guitars, household goods, collectibles, books, movie, CD's, clothing, accessories, and more. With the influence of DIY shows showcasing recycling and re-purposing, thrifting is more popular than ever. Thrift stores help people save money and keep items out of the landfill. Shed Thrift has some unique items like a jukebox that you didn't typically see in the local area thrift stores. With their mission to help vulnerable pets, this store is an assist to Coral Springs.

They don't even attempt to hide it from the customers. In addition to that who ever does the pricing seems to think that they are marketing to Bergdorfs or Neimun Marcus (aka needless mar ups). As a customer who shops there as well as donates regularly, i find it offensive that you think people want to buy used shoes or clothes at prices higher than Marshalls or the like. After all whether slightly worn or used they still have had someones pissibly nasty ass or feet in them. If affordable enough wirth the buy as all things can be cleaned. Lets not get confused, if i am going to have to clean etc its cheaper and easier to go to any if the stires mentioned above pay less and not have to deal with the absurd rational behind pricing and bitchy attitudes. 1. If volynteers dont want to be there for exactly what it is, community service, they should stay home. No one wants ir needs them. 2. If yoyr going to continue with your gouging wirh reference to pricing, I'm glad to make my donations and shop at out of closet or anyone if the multiple other thrift stores. Remember you get the shit for free and donations are made out if the goidness if peoples hearts in attempt to give back and help those in need. Your organaztion is not doing the goid people of the community any favors with your policies. Are you trying to become a specialty shop? When average people can not or will not shop there for reasons stated above you've lost sight of what your philosophy once was. GET IT TOGETHER, get real. SHAME ON YOU.

Yelp already has entries for The Poverello Center and the Poverello Food Pantry both located at…read more2506 N. Dixie, but as I noted none for the Poverello Live Well Center I thought some entry should be made. Located at 220 NE 12th Avenue, the Poverello Live Well Center is a part of the not-for-profit Poverello umbrella, but just as its location is different, so is its charitable focus. Poverello was originally founded in 1988 when large numbers having complications of AIDS were socially shunned, rejected and dying. The original intent was to provide food as a nourishing medicine. The pantry on Dixie continues to provide such for to over 3,000 families a year and the thrift shop also located there continues to take in donations of used articles for resale in order to support Poverello operations. The Poverello Live Well Center on 12th Avenue is somewhat different in that its design is as a support center for persons living with HIV, providing a safe accepting to receive support and health services. It is here that those with HIV can, in their words, "...access our full service gym, chiropractic services, acupuncture or massage free of charge." As such it provides a vital community service. One day, as a volunteer driver/transporter, I had the occasion to visit the Live Well Center. When I stepped in I was given one of the warmest of greetings and though I wasn't supposed to actually be allowed, as not being a member, to tour their facilities I did sneak my way around. (Shhh! Don't tell.) But what I saw was a complete with all the trimmings gym with some people giving workout assistance and help to others, a pool table play area and a most comfortable relaxing lounge. But what is really so very special about the Living Well Center are the super nice people from all sorts of differing backgrounds not only there to improve themselves but working together to improve the lives of others. For what they do and for the free of charge services they provide to some of our most needy, Poverello's Live Well Center gets my 5 Stars.
