I had been in here a few times and was very impressed with their nice selection and decent prices. However, the last time I went in they had a 'designer' section with some upscale brands that were all inflated to 500% of what they should have been charging. Don't get me wrong, I take no issue with charging more for better brands, but prices between $60-$75 are unreasonable for a charity thrift store. Goodwill may do the same, but not to the same extent. This is NOT a thrift store - it is more on par with consignment prices. I just don't like that they get these clothes donated and then mark them up and call themselves an 'affordable thrift shop'. It's false advertising and frankly - especially considering their likely exemption from taxes - a little greedy. read more

This shop is small, but they had some good items. I came on a day where the items were 75% off, which is good, because I wouldn't have paid otherwise. Reason for a dock in the stars is because I was thrifting this day and I had previously gone to others. Reasonable price for a jack $6-$12 from these other stores. At this store? $40. Now, with the 75% off deal, things were reasonable. I got a dress, a necklace, and a jacket. The store was very clean. The women at the counter took a long, long while to figure out the cash register. read more

I am very disappointed in the people that run the store on York Rd. Here it is that this group is given things freely and then they turn around and want to sell the merchandise for outrages prices. Example they were given a picture of the world map that like I said was given freely and they turned around and they are now selling it for $135.00...They paid nothing and they are charging an arm and a leg basically for that nothing. They were actually offered $50.00 for the picture , but no that wasn't good enough they wanted $135.00 , a couple minutes later they said they would take $100.00 for it but no less. I hope that the person who gave it to them free would find out what they are doing. It's one thing to turn a profit, it's another when it comes to high way robbery. They should be ashamed of themselves cause someone is thinking of themselves and not the whole group as a whole. Seriously shame on you... read more

I was referred here on my question for good thrifting in the Baltimore area and I was pleased with the results. Firstly I was happy I came on a random Friday when they had 30% off of coats as I scored a vintage camel hair with the original makers mark for $20. The store is a little bit of a mish mash and I was hoping for a few higher end items though what they had was nice. Prices were hit and miss, my coat was great but a Target dress was marked for $24 when it couldn't have cost more than $29 when new. The purse collection was disappointing but I think maybe I hit them on an off day. I will definitely be back. read more

I've been on the search for some cute winter coat and when I stepped in, I was greeted by a gorgeous, long, fur collar camel coat. Sadly it was priced at $150 but looking around the store they had a great selection of winter coats priced around $20-40 with a faux fur snow leopard coat for $40. I grabbed a fur stole that was in need of a little care but for real fur, I definitely got a great deal. Also Tuesdays are Draw-A-Discount Day and I got 20% off! They also had a range of suits (range $25-75 with St John on the higher end) and blazers for $10 and up and the day I went, had suits and blazers for 40% off. They also had a table to men's shirts brand new with tags still on them, for ladies doing early Christmas shopping. The store is very well maintained and the associates were super sweet, putting jackets I wanted to try in the dressing room. They had a mix of high items with some Jimmy Choo and Burberry flats on display. I definitely got some great deals and when I was rung up, saw the cutest leopard Ferragamo flats in the display window. Unfortunately they are a size 6, so whoever is lucky enought to have small feet can get a great deal! I will definitely come back and see what other great deals I can find! read more

This is a women's clothing boutique covering itself as a thrift store. Nice stuff being resold, but IMHO just isn't a thrift store.

One of my treasured stores for cheap finds, designer goods at thrift store prices. Always a great places for scoring name brand items mixed in with a little home decor you can't go wrong. Great place for men as well! Tons of suits, ties and high quality shoes. read more

This is a cute little thrift store. I feel like even though it's technically a thrift store, the items are more comparable to the quality of a consignment shop. Went there today for the first time and was very impressed by the quality of the items. The prices were a bit higher than most thrift stores but the items were very clean as was the store. Also, the Goodwill in Fells Point (which can be very disorganized and dirty) has such inflated prices for some items that this place ends up being the same price or cheaper. I got a nice J Crew sweater in mint condition for $8 today. It would've been the same price (if not more) at some of the Goodwills around here and probably would've been of lesser quality. Even though it's not the best thrift store I've ever been to, I recommend it. It's a good addition to Baltimore. read more

As a fashion blogger and firm believer in economic approaches to finding the best outfits, I make Wise Penny Thrift Store one of my top 5 go to places for quality, stylish clothing for me and my friends and clients that I style. Their sales are fantastic! Check them out in the Baltimore area today! You won't be disappointed! read more

This store was clean, well organized, and fairly priced. The staff working while I was there were friendly and cheerful. There was a mix of brand names and not as well as good and bad conditions. I was looking for a plate or bowl set but they didn't have very many options. They did however have tons of silver and glassware in fantastic condition at average thrift prices. I'm really giving four stars though because of the organization. I picked up a talbots skirt for $5, even though I wasn't looking for clothes it caught my eye. So basically a hit or miss but you won't spend all day trying to find something. read more

I just purchased an item that I've been searching for a long time. The price was RIGHT. I was parked across the street from the store in another parking lot. The sales representative assisted in taking it to my car. I had a very satisfying experience. Also I might add, the stores inventory was stocked with a lot of goodies. I WILL RETURN read more

I was so excited when I read the reviews today but was sadly disappointed. I was treated like a second rate citizen and will NEVER go back. Awful awful awful!!!!!! read more

This thrift store is one of the neatest and cleanest I've visited in a while. It's well organized and while it isn't huge, I appreciate that they have men's, women's, and kids' clothes, AND household supplies. There wasn't a huge selection of plates/dishes, and no silverware, but some neat artwork for hanging. I scored some major deals today -- two pairs of shorts had the original store tags on them (for $40 and $45!) and the thrift store tags said $10 each, but the lady behind the counter cut me a deal because I couldn't really afford to buy both.... $2 each!!! I also got a great pair of jeans for $8 and a seed-starting kit for $5. There's a student discount, and I think also for military and seniors. I'll definitely be going back! read more
