A few things that really set this charity shop apart: -Super bright, clean and organized. -Curated selection, everything looked clean and ready to wear. -Tidy kid's section, nothing overwhelming. -Higher quality (than typical for thrift shop) furniture, glassware, and shoes, even musical instruments!! -Staff were amazingly attentive, welcoming and helpful. Loaded up a heavy piece, a keyboard, right into my car for me. -Prices lower than Goodwill, by a significant amount!! Thank you!!!! I'll be back!!

Madison seems to have 3 types of thrift stores. Goodwill, St Vinnies, and those run by churches…read moreand/or church ladies. This is the latter type, and they all seem to be very similar (Bethesda, Agrace, etc). Less crowds, traffic, anxiety, and clutter than Goodwill and St Vinnies, but also less selection. Check back regularly and you will find some treasures. For the most part the prices are fair. If I specifically need something, I start with Goodwill, because I have the best chance of browsing. But I dont always feel like stopping in Goodwill just to browse. Versus it can be very peaceful to stop in Boomerangs, or similar. I've probably been there a dozen times since they opened, and bought something 3 of the times. They have furniture, which not all thrift stores carry. The staff has always been helpful.

I visited Upshift for their Krazy for Kitties event. I saw on Facebook that you could play with…read morekittens and get half off the swap fee, so that was enough to convince me! The swap fee is usually $20, so $10 was even more of a steal. The owner of Upshift, Lindsay, was there to give me a little intro to how things work. I liked the low-key feel of the swap, as in there's no one looking through your bag, and it's not an item-for-item swap. If you bring in two brown bags, you get to take home up to two brown bags! The store is pretty small, so having a bunch of people (and kittens!) in there made it a bit crunched, but everyone was polite and I felt like I had enough room. As usual with thrifting, you have to be ok with digging a bit for jewels. At first I wasn't sure if I'd find things in my size and style, especially since there were some teenagers there browsing with their moms! I wondered if I was too old to be there! But, after just a few minutes of looking through the racks I was able to find some nice pieces -- some casual, some professional, some nice brands. I think that as more and more people start swapping, the options will be even better. There are 2 dressing rooms that you can pop into to try things on, and the lighting and mirrors were great. I love the idea that you can just take something home to try it out, even if you're not sure if it's quite your style -- it doesn't add any cost, so why not? At the same time, it didn't bug me to put things back on the rack -- I was only paying $10 so who cares if it's just a select few items I take, it was still cheap. I also like that I wasn't pressured into taking as much as I brought to swap. I am trying to minimize a bit, so bringing more than I take home is actually quite nice! There is also an online swap available, which is a really interesting idea. Overall, I would come back here to swap. If I have a bag of clothes I'm giving away, might as well take a look for a couple of new-to-me items.

I found the store without problem, it is in a plaza which also has a food Co-Op. The Goodwill is clean, well organized and pretty much what you expect, plenty of clothing, a nice selection of home goods and decor. I was impressed with the selection of computer related equipment at this store; they had a large selection of computer printers which were in good condition. I had been looking for an Epson printer that uses specific ink refills since I had them on hand. I was lucky enough to find exactly the printer I was looking for and it was priced at $5. When I got the printer home it worked well, just needed to install the software and have the printer clean the printer heads. While not the most recent printer, this was a great buy and made my day. Well worth checking out if you are thrifting, especially if looking for computer related equipment.
