When I used to live in the Broome County area, the Thrifty Shopper was my thrifting-jam! So when we…read morewere back in town recently on a road trip, and my husband said he wanted to stop at the video game store, I said please drop me at the Thrifty Shopper on your way. :-D This isn't a huge thrift store, but not tiny either, with plenty of plaza lot parking. The clothing is all pretty well organized by size. I appreciate that Thrifty Shopper does two Color-of-the-Day tags, one for 50% off an one for 75% off. I did find several garments tagged in those favorable colors, and used the pretty clean and handy changing rooms to try things on. Unfortunately nothing clothing-wise went home with me, but I did find a couple glassware items and a few books that I purchased. The books section is a small room in the back of the store, but if you dig around we found a few nice titles of interest to us and for our kids. The housewares area was pretty limited, I remember there being more selection. I still use our king-sized full bedroom set that I purchased from here years ago (it's a vintage NBA set!), and recall there being more of a linen variety too. But there was still plenty to poke around for the hour in this thrifting paradise while my husband was in his video game store paradise, haha. If you too like to shop second-hand, this Thrifty Shopper is a quality stop to see what treasures you can find. :-)

Gab G's review is correct, this is at 3-5 Griswold, right on the end of the road. If you're coming…read morefrom under the bridge, you're going to be turning RIGHT, not left, towards the river. This location is 99% clothes, and with considerably reasonable prices at that. Long sections, and four or so dressing rooms, a small amount of furniture and books. Some dishes, but not a lot of physical items, just clothing.

Best find: A black waterproof anorak jacket for $4; Halloween costume materials; adequately-working electronic junk, the list goes on... This is the thrift store of all thrift stores. It's huge and brightly lit, with racks beyond racks of dirt-cheap clothing. Here you will find your perfect grunge army jacket with some cool sewn patches that are nearly falling off. The Salvation Armani, as I like to call it, never lets down those who are willing to spend several hours of their life in a trove that doesn't necessarily present its treasures immediately. Be warned. Bonus: They have a working bathroom that customers are allowed to used!

And she could probably sell hair gel to a bald person, she's just so good at what she does. That said she will not lead you astray and if something doesn't look good on you, she will kindly let you know. Everyone who works here is excellent, though, so don't worry! They often have sales, and have high quality clothing for all kinds of people, it is my preferred vintage spot in the area. I'll also note I'm a masculine woman and wear exclusively menswear and no one has ever made me feel odd about it here, which is not as common as one would think in this day and age.

I have to agree with other reviews when trying to consign. I was greeted cordially and I can't…read morefault the civility but not exactly the warmest place. I brought in a brand new wedding gown with tags still on it in a secure garment bag. Before I could even finish telling her what I brought in, I was told they don't consign wedding dresses anymore. I asked if she knew of anyplace that would as I was surprised by this. She said no and sorry. Again, there was no fault in the conversation but it wasn't a place I would really go into again for certain. The reviews are accurate in the items there-I have seen the same at other thrift stores around; nothing stood out in the experience. I have only a problem in that this website does not specify not accepting wedding dresses. This dress is brand new; 3 months special order from David's in a plus size and gorgeous. Perfect condition; I wanted only for someone in my area to benefit from it for a low cost without it running the risk of being handled in a thrift store. I am not certain how it could have been a deficit to the store as the dress is full lace and vintage looking as it gets. However, I couldn't even show it to her before cut off definitively. I agree with the last review when placing consignment up there in everything stated. It seems to be problems only with people coming to consign and it might very well be my appearance as well that made her more reserved although this is only an impression I got and by no means an absolute.

DO NOT SELL YOUR USED BABY GEAR HERE. Extremely deceptive and dishonest. I dropped off a Momma Roo…read morewhich is a top of the line baby swing. They lied, repeatedly, when they told me the retail cost. This company bases their buy prices off of lowest retail price. Being in a financial bind, I accepted the offer even though I had doubts. They quoted a much lower price than what I expected. When I did check the price, I realized they made a mistake (perhaps) and went back into the store to discuss the issue. Upon entering the store, I explained it might be a mistake and was told there was nothing to be done. One of the girls kept insisting the price was for $170 for the swing. That price is for a refurbished swing. There is a lower price point swing by the same manufacturer that sells for $160. Refurbished swings that are the same model as mine sell for $170 while brand new swings sell for $220. They offered to return the swing back to me but I refused as I'm in a financial bind at the moment. They didn't care enough to do proper diligence when purchasing my items. That means they won't treat you right either. When I called them out on it, they went above and beyond to embarrass me and make it seem like I was in the wrong. It was humiliating. At one point, one of the clerks said there was staining on the web belt (it's not gross just minor) and stated she wouldn't sell it for more than $80. They even went as far as to show pricing (for a refurbished swing) at $170. I tried to point out that it was refurbished but the girl wouldn't even go to the online store page so I could show her. So not only did they take advantage of me, they tried to save face in front of their customers by making me look like I was a deranged woman. Do not sell your baby gear here. It was a terrible experience.

I had a lot of toys and as soon as I walked in the girls were all rude. Immediately ran over and said buying was over at 4. My issue is their Facebook still says buying monday through Saturday is until 6. Had they changed the times on their Facebook I wouldnt have wasted my time Or I would have planned to go earlier. After I showed them their mistake with my phone they just looked at me like I was crazy and wouldnt help me. maybe train your employees on what customer service is and also update your online hours on all social platforms! Will definitely be taking my service to the Syracuse one, better customer service and wayyyy bigger and cleaner!

Given the fact that this is a thrift store, I would anticipate them buying stuff. However when I…read morecame in twice to sell stuff, they claimed the selling encounter was closed. The first time they told me to call back in a half an hour which I did they said it was open. I showed up five minutes later. They then said to come back and call within an hour because they were closed again. If you're looking to sell at a Plato's closet, I would recommend going elsewhere as this location will consistently waste your time or better yet, donate your stuff at a nonprofit as at least you will be greeted with somebody who knows what they are doing.
