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.

Nobody has reviewed Lennox yet? Really? It's been here for years. Maybe I'm searching wrong…read more Oh, well, here goes. I really wish this had been here when I was a student at OSU. A theater, bookstore, shopping, restaurants, within walking distance of the towers and stadium? Wow. I'm sure students take advantage of it nowadays (I bet they drive.) And it's right by Grandview and Upper Arlington, etc., so it's handy for many people. A bit out of my way now, but we still get over here once in awhile. After all, with a Target, Staples, and the aforementioned attractions, you can get a lot done here. The theater, of course, is a big draw. And there are a few restaurants, including Corelife, Champps, and Bravo at one end, with Zoup, and pizza and sandwich places, at the other. We go to this Target sometimes, and Staples. Once in awhile World Market. I keep forgetting there's a Barnes and Noble here. It's handy off the freeway, and one of the few malls in the heart of town. Parking is easy. It's a pretty generic mall, but hey, sometimes you need the stuff that's at those.

Good vibes overall and located in a nice little strip to explore :)

This thrift store was disappointing. The stock is small, disheveled, and severely overpriced…read more There was an old Casio keyboard for 50 bucks. Not even a decent keyboard. An 80's stereo receiver/tape player was over 25 bucks. I CANT STAND over priced thrift stores. Well, I don't really care that much, but I didn't buy anything as a result. I brushed through the stock in 5-10 minutes without seeing anything interesting except scary used old lady wigs. And that just made me want to leave even more.

They have some Christmas sweaters here for only 10 dollars as I'm writing this. Nice store overall!…read more:)

After walking in and out of so many places, I was happy to find a clothing store near the campus that didn't charge $70 for a hoodie. My black OSU hoodie (kangaroo pouch, not zip-up) was $45 and I wore it three straight days. They had cheaper ones too, but the one I chose was super comfy and looked pretty good on me, so really, it chose me. Thanks for existing, Clothing Underground!

Typical mall service but lots of stairs, elevators, and escalators. Lots of parking options in parking structures, parking lots, and curbside parking. There are also a lot of places to eat which would make this a fun date night or friends night! Eat some good food, walk to get a sweet treat, and then walk and talk. Great place to hang out with others!

Be prepared to pay prices to match quality. Things are not cheap here. Also, as in most vintage stores, you won't find really big sizes. Most run in the M range, even though some are marked large, they aren't. Typical vintage. Run smaller. I am 5'5" 140, average size and BMI, most tops would not fit me here. I had a bit of trouble finding it, today they did not have their sign out (I saw it folded up in the store), and google maps guided me a couple storefronts down. Keep looking. It's on sidewalk level and looks like a vintage store window.

I saw this shop here on Yelp and decided I wanted to stop in and check it out. I had never been…read morehere before and really didn't know too much about it other than what I saw and read online. In one of the pics I saw a little beehive Christmas ornament so thought I would go check it out (my mom is bee anything crazy). I wasn't sure where the GPS was taking me but once I saw the beatiful mural on the side, I knew where I was heading. Really friendly staff and some really cute gifts here. I was promptly greeted when I came in and was offered some coffee or water. I had to pass as it was a quick stop but I really liked the vide here. The shop had a bit of everything including clothing, candles, jewelry, and all sorts of gifts including some gorgeous drinking glasses. Definitely worth browsing just to check it all out. Overall, it looked like the general price point is on the higher end but nothing too outrageous for a boutique shop. I did find the ornament I saw in the picture but I know my mom already has the same one, or one that could pass off as its twin anyway. So many cute gifts and would totally visit again even though I didn't find something this trip. I really had to resist buying something just to buy it (holidays and all) but they have so much cute stuff.

Their sister store is a clothing store a few blocks away on 5th Ave. Whenever I am in need of something for the house, I stop by here first because it's typically for a good price.

I bought a couch here, so I had a few cards and was able to purchase a dining set with them for free.
