When I used to live in the Broome County area, the Thrifty Shopper was my thrifting-jam! So when we were 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. :-) read more
