Buckeye Bargains is a hidden treasure located on the Ohio State Columbus campus. It's in the…read morebasement of Converse Hall and is only open on Wednesdays from 9-3:30 pm when classes are in session. It is completely volunteer run by The University Women's Club, and all of the proceeds go to fund scholarships for OSU students. The volunteers are really friendly - just ask them if you need help or if you are looking for something in particular, and they'll point you in the right direction. So what will you find? A little bit of everything! Think OSU gear + thrift shop/flea market. Make sure you have time to browse when you head in there, because it's a small space that is well packed. Donations come from individuals and shops (such as the OSU gift shops); some items are used, some new, some from estate sales, and more. There is plenty of OSU gear, plus items with other logos, housewares, art, jewelry, clothing, toys and more. There's a lot of turnover, and every week brings something new. There's even a free box that sits at the front entrance. I've found everything from OSU bird feeders to university themed cookie cutters, OSU logo bags, seasonal holiday decorations, scarlet and gray buckeye rain boots, and lots of jewelry. Being on campus, parking to visit the store can be a bit of a bear, so if you can time it with a visit to campus or the area and walk there, that can be helpful. Otherwise, the nearby parking lot offers pay 'n display parking (cash or credit card), so you can also park that way. However you end up there, be prepared to go treasure hunting and enjoy!

Buckeye Bargains, I love you so much. I definitely did not choose to attend OSU solely because…read morethere is a THRIFT STORE on CAMPUS; however, if I would have known, it would've had a pretty large bearing on my decision. I stumbled upon this gem one Wednesday afternoon and now I can never go an entire Wednesday without stopping in. This place is hidden in the basement of Converse Hall (ROTC building) and is only open on Wednesdays from 9-3:30. It's run by a group of precious elderly ladies and all of the proceeds go to OSU scholarships. They only accept cash. Their stock rotates regularly, and usually if something lasts for more than two weeks or so it is marked down. On some days, they sell overstock merchandise from OSU apparel stores, so you can often score an OSU t-shirt for $5 or so. Most of the merchandise is priced at $5 or under. They have everything from clothes to shoes to jewelry to bobbleheads and flash drives... If you have free time on a Wednesday, be sure to stop by this wondrous haven. But don't take any of the good stuff and make me regret sharing my deepest secret with you.

They have a selection of men's, women's clothing, furniture, shoes, CDs, artwork and books. This thrift store is extraordinary in what they do! 96% of each dollar goes towards aiding in HIV care and supporting those suffering with it. They offer free on site HIV testing. There were around 10 young men waiting to get tested. I really liked some of the furniture pieces and artwork in this store, unfortunately it was too big to bring back on my flight home with me. My friend purchased around 12 CDs at $2 each. I would love some of them too, but I haven't had anything to play CDs on in so long. Out of the Closet is a thrift store that supports a wonderful cause.

I have had the…read morepleasure to visit this thrift store various times & every one of my experiences begins with a lovely greeting and a friendly conversation with the volunteers. I always leave with something in my hands no matter the day I go in. There are true gems to find here, my favorite items to look at are the Knick knacks and jewelry. The prices are extremely inexpensive on top of that. The only "down" side about this place is that there is a minimum spending with card use at checkout but like I said I always find something so this has never been an issue for me. This is one of my favorite thrift spots in the Columbus area & trust me I've been to a lot.

My friend made arrangements for a private shopping experience for our group of friends during pre-covid times. Katya had snacks and champagne for us to indulge in while we shopped and tried on clothes. When I was told the shop specialized in caftans I wasn't quite sure what to expect. How many vintage caftans can a studio hold? First, not all of the caftans are vintage. Some are newer fabrics paired with older designs. Second, there are also jewelry, hats, rompers, dresses, and shoes! Third, there was more than one room so take your time so you can explore all of the space and find items you like. If we had a question about any item such as care (vintage sometimes comes without care labels) or approximate size in today's world, Katya was able to assist. Nowadays she has items available on her site and on Facebook. You can even sign up for the S.R. Provisions monthly subscription for $35 where a box of items curated around a them is sent to you. Past themes have included cocktails, Sunday mornings, and gratitude.

I went in a week later and all the snacks/food they had were the same again. I have worked at the Ohio thrift on south high and know that the cashiers and the managers are supposed to stay on top of the food shelves by the register.
