I find a lot of cute stuff here, it's not all old lady clothes like some church resale shops. My only complaints are 1. lack of bathrooms! I had no idea there were no bathrooms until I asked to go! And 2. The changing rooms aren't private, basically other people watch you try stuff on, weird.

Get some things on the cheap. They also have a few sales each week. Basically it looks like a typical small thrift store, but the difference is the quality of what they have. It's mostly clothes, and a few knickknacks. There's also home goods like glasses and plates. Clothes aren't falling apart like at some places that are cheaper. The service is also friendly. Get here for some good finds and fairly cheap. It's a little more expensive than Goodwill but it's better quality. There's something to get as a gift or for yourself.

The selection is beautiful and they have a wide assortment of different furniture, lighting, and art. The prices to the value are very reasonable, especially compared to other secondhand stores in the area. Each time I visit, there is always newness.

I definitely recommend stopping in once in a while, especially if you're looking for something in particular - we will be back for sure!

The only problem with that is that you continually have to go in and see if you have a check because she will not call you so if you have clothes you want to get rid of or if you're shopping for nice items at a discounted price come check it out, but don't expect your check unless you go in and ask for it.

I think they're a fairly new establishment which opened over a year ago. I've gone twice in the past month. The prices are crazy excellent where you can find quality clothes if you dig deep enough. Clothes are available for all sexes and age ranges. They don't just sell clothes either. There's a good variety of things for sale like basic housewares, accessories, music, movies and comic books. I even saw a few items like tool sets, a set of golf clubs and a vintage Nintendo Cube set for sale. On both occasions, I spent an hour here and never left empty-handed. Look out for their 50% color tag sales that are generally offered daily. That's where you'll find the biggest savings. The only downside is that they don't have a dedicated changing room but they offer their single occupancy bathroom as their changing room. Disclaimer, the bathroom/changing room did not smell pleasant. It had a strong sewage stench. Hopefully their bathroom sitch gets fixed with time. At least they offer poo spray in the bathroom. If you have a sensitive nose, you may want to avoid. Another disclaimer - All items are final sale. They give no returns and no store credit is offered. They accept cash and card payments. There is free parking in the public lot to the right of the store. Currently open Tuesday - Sunday but check Yelp or call for their store hours. Happy shopping!

I just moved to a new neighborhood and saw Thrifty Thrift on the map while I was learning what was…read morenewly near me. I love thrifting and buying second hand and was so excited to see a new option close to me. I slipped my plans for Thrifty Thrift in with some other errands on a Sunday. They are open 12-5 on Sundays and it was between 12pm and 1pm that I stopped by. They had a sign out on the sidewalk that said they had parking, but I'm not sure what parking is actually for them. I parked in a lot that was just East of the store (the direction I was traveling). It had snowed in the few days prior to my visit and Thrifty Thrift did not have any of the sidewalk in front of it's store shoveled or salted. I'm not sure if it's not required or they think customers won't appreciate it or maybe I just happened to be by on a day that they didn't have enough staff to get it done, I'm not sure. Inside this store feels very much like a cross between a flea market stand and a small second hand store. It's relatively tight inside with all available space used. Every surface has more items available. There are clothes racks in the back, they are too tight for 2 people to look at the same row at once. This is a place that somehow felt like it had so much and nothing all at once. If you're a thrifter, this is definitely a spot you need to dig through and if you find what you're looking for it was exactly perfect and if you didn't find what you were looking for, then you found nothing. IYKYK. There was one man working at the front, and I was greeted. He was not overbearing and did not speak to me again, and I did not have any questions to ask. I didn't purchase anything on this stop so can't speak to overall price of items. I'm not sure this will be a stop for me regularly, but if you're looking for a particular thrifted good, this could definitely be an option. I do always appreciate a non-corporate option for second hand buying. Thank you, Thrifty Thrift!

I shop at many, many Goodwills, and this is by far my favorite location. They are always fully…read morestocked, neatly organized, and have lots of fun sections. I've always had good experiences with the employees. Today, when the manager was bringing out various rolling racks of clothing, sadly, she had to school the customers on how to behave. It's absolutely ridiculous that some customers are obsessed with attacking the new stuff before it goes on the racks. She had to sternly, yet kindly, request that the patrons take a step back, and reminded them about safety for themselves and the employees. I love that this location has a whole section of cookbooks, and a huge assortment of bagged fun miscellaneous stuff. I always find great things here. The value is hit or miss, and as everyone knows, the prices at Goodwill have gone up but I'm guessing that's a corporate decision. You can still find great deals. You just have to take the time to look.
