I had some questions she went to some trouble to figure out the answers to. Three changing rooms, spacious, lots of cute pillows and accessories too, plus loungewear and slippers, novelty socks, lip balms and lotions. The prices were very reasonable. If I lived here I would be back all the time.

We love Reny's. It's a discount store but it carries Carhardtt, Columbia, Merrill boots, Teva…read moresandals and other name brands. The selection is always good at Reny's. You might be able to get items for cheaper if you follow sales, but when you can't find items at other stores, Reny's usually has it. When you're there, go to the spices and seasonings area and buy the Camp Mix. Camp Mix is a salt/Garlic/pepper seasoning that is great for meats, eggs, pasta and Bloody Mary's. The honey/cinnamon is perfect for oatmeal and toast. The Spud flavor is wonderful on pork and chicken. The staff is always helpful and pleasant.

So I visited this store on a whim as I never heard of this store before living in Maine. It turns…read moreout it's a chain of discount stores only found in Maine. I would say they're similar to a Ross, TJ Maxx, and Marshall's type of store. They have discounted clothing, shoes,appliances, food, gardening supplies, and many more items. If you're on a budget, I would recommend stopping in here to get some household items at a very affordable price.

This particular location is very clean and organized, which is greatly appreciated when you are perusing their aisles for random things. Without fail, I always walk in not expecting to find anything worth buying but walk out with a hundred dollars worth of purchases. This location is great for buying kitchenware, glassware, home decor, and pet supplies at a steal. My most recent visit I was able to score four giant made in Italy wine glasses for $12 that I would normally spend $40+ back in LA.

Today I got $48 worth of $1, $2 and $3 paperbacks. She will be thrilled. We shop at a lot of Goodwill stores and thrift shops. This store is well laid out and clean.

Okay I'm just gonna come out and say it--this was probably the saddest Goodwill that I've ever been…read morein, and ya girl looked through the ENTIRE STORE. Slim pickings, and the racks were less than half full. I understand completely that Goodwill's business model is based on donations, but man, wouldn't you think with everyone cleaning out their houses during the pandemic that this join would be filled with second hand treasures. IDK fam, I'm not from the area, and this area may be a weird one that I'm not fully aware of, but man was I disappointed in the selection. It seemed like they had more random new stuff (overstock) than second hand finds. Anywho, I found a cool polar bear sweater that needs a bit of work for this holiday season, but I cannot wait to add to my "ugly sweater" collection.

Mardens is a must go to store whenever we visit from CT. The fabric selection is the best part of…read morethe store. The women that work in the fabric area are knowledgeable and very helpful.

Of the various Marden's locations, this is not the best. BUT if you are looking for flooring, this…read moreis the better when compared to Calais and Brewer. This is a HUGE location and it's filled to the rafters with stuff. Not all of it is good stuff. Some of it is junk. It is the very antithesis of organized. They make some effort to try to be organized, in that there is a row of sporting goods, one of kitchen goods, and another with other stuff. the goods are basically tossed in each aisle leaving the shopper to fend for themselves. the only aisles that offer some form of organization are the hardware, fabric, and flooring section. the rest? Not so much. The fabric section should be mentioned. It's awesome. Last season's (or the season before) fabric at low prices. If you quilt or do any sort of fabric craft AT all you can find some amazing deals in Marden's on fabric. It is also the only area of the store that looks as though it's cleanish. Where you might unload $200 on the same amount of fabric at Joanne's at mardens you'll spend a fraction of that. For $100 you can get enough fabric to make a good sized quilt. This location is also beginning to lose it's shine. After they took over the walmart building it was shiny and new and looked great. The exterior could use a paint job, but I guess they haven't salvaged the red paint yet... The once well maintained lot is heaved and has pits. The interior could do with the floor being washed and a solid dusting. It's not filthy just getting there. Where clothing you'd do yard work in, because you'll be digging around looking for things and it's not clean.
