I've been very curious about the store because it had been receiving a lot of hype. I am very glad I stopped in and will be doing so again in the future. NIne lives is a small but well stocked thrift store with a wide range of women's sizes. Their selection is well organized, and well curated. It doesn't have the funky smell one runs into sometimes with thrift stores. I found a number of cute items. Unfortunately, none of them fit, but the selection was good enough that I want to stop again. Thrift stores are always hit and miss, so it's nice to have one that is so well organized. Great job!

The colors of the shop speak vibrant energy from the disco ball to the hot pink logo. As a gal who prefers thrifting, I know that I can now count on adding this shop into my rotation. Why? The color sorting and giant array of sizes was my selling point. Hooray for having not just a few large items or XXL but a plethora. From pants to skirts to shoes to jewelry, this place has it all. I sized up a little today and everything fit perfect even 2 swimsuits which is something that has never happened in my life. The owner, Roxanne, was a delight to speak with and informed me that many of the swimsuits were basically new as she purchased them from another thrift shop and didn't believe they were worn. The value is unbelievable where a majority of the swimsuits were coming in at a whopping $4 per piece. You cannot beat this place and I look forward to my return. Thank you!!

I highly recommend making a shopping date with friends and then hitting coffee afterwards. Bonus: Flying Pig is typically open until 6 pm and Ginkgo 8 pm!! Flying Pig Thrift is staffed primarily by volunteers and everyone is beyond kind. Community resources are available onsite via a bulletin board and the shop supports 3 main non-profit groups. Within the dressing area room, there was a flyer supporting mental health resources and I smiled when I saw it. There are a wide variety of items that shift seasonally and frequently. Items are fairly priced and there are often sales, half price item days and even a permanent sale section in the back. I was really excited to score a denim button up with funky colorful bird designs, a cute yellow bee kind sweatshirt along with a black Nike top. In addition to clothes, there are shoes, cards, jewelry, some handcrafted art, home decor, hospital scrubs, board games, records, magazines and more. Thank you Flying Pig Thrift! I appreciate your mission and service towards the Saint Paul area.

Items are all individually priced and on my visit several of my items were half off!

There were a couple of designer dresses that I really loved but unfortunately were to small. *cries* Suffice to say this St Vincent De Paul is a great shop to patron! Enjoy!

They have a good range of sizes, but you'll definitely be more successful if you're a size large and under. Prices are fair for the quality you're buying. For example, I bought a Talbots shirt for $22 and an April Cornell cotton dress for $26 (retail $64). Note for those with motility issues: there is a lower level that's only accessible by stairs (shoes, sales section, and vintage is located down there).

If you enjoy digging for a good deal, you can find absolute gems as bargains hit heavy as the seasons change or if you find an item that has been out on the shelves for a couple of months. The lower level carries items up to 75% off. From sunglasses to formal wear to jackets, Encore has it all and deserves an encore standing ovation with every visit. On my most recent visit, I was able to snag a pair of ADORABLE black Coach boots for half off ringing my total to a perfect $46. In addition, I found both Columbia and Sperry snow boots in the lower level allowing me to save 75% off on both pairs. I can't wait to see what I discover on my next visit. Thank you, Encore!!
