I moved to Alden in April of 2025 and somehow I have managed to become a regular at Under One Roof…read morein what can only be described as record-breaking time. Honestly, I think I'm in there more than anywhere else in town... okay, maybe second only to the coffee shop -- but still. Priorities. Recently one of the girls who works there asked, "Were you in here recently?" My response: "Yes... but you're going to have to be more specific." At this point I'm basically on a first-name basis with the clearance rack. This place is truly a magical hybrid of boutique, consignment shop, and small-town treasure hunt. They have clothes for kids, teens, and adults -- some new, some consignment -- and the consignment pieces are so pristine you'd swear the previous owner bought them, lovingly removed the tags, whispered affirmations over them, and then never wore them once. And it doesn't stop at clothing. Oh no. There's furniture, small appliances, baby items, exercise gear, bedding, health and beauty goodies (from really good brands, too). You name it, they probably have it. And if they don't today... check back next week, because the inventory changes constantly. One of my favorite things is how active they are on Facebook -- posting new arrivals, sale alerts, and little contests so you can plan your visit like a highly strategic shopping mission. If you live in or anywhere near Alden and you haven't been here yet, I don't know what you're doing with your life -- but I gently and lovingly suggest you redirect yourself to Under One Roof immediately. I'll probably see you there. I'll be the one pretending I'm "just browsing."

This week I called to retrieve only the new winter coats and they tell me there is no balance on my account - and they do not have them. They further went on to state, they had nothing "tagged" for me since last December.... you literally cannot randomly drop off items, you need an appointment which I had January 26, 2026! The owner had her manager call me, who I had spoke to about these coats twice. Since they take your items and you get no ticket, ...they win! Bad business practice. Whoever took these coats has some nice winter wear.

But I think the prices in Batavia's Bargains are always fair (and I'm generally pretty cheap) and it's not Grandma's junk. In fact, we found a nice dresser set in there for $110 (less than she paid for one Walmart dresser, and it was 5x the dresser). I've found other treasures as well... I like to go there periodically to see what else they have that's new!

Chuck was hired to do our estate sale for a loved one's belongings…read more I would not recommend Chuck for this type of work. Here are some bullet point reasons: - Chuck changed the percentage and added a fee (that ended up being for advertising )to the contract, upon signing, four days before the actual sale. By the way he typically includes advertising as part of the fee he requests. We were blindsided. He would have been turned away if it were solely up to me, but unfortunately, I had others involved in the decision to use him. - Rather than giving us a guideline for when things needed to be done, for example, signing a contract and time to set up advertising - He claimed it was not too late to get advertising in: Info for advertising in PennySaver should have been done the week before the sale so that the ad would run that weekend before. It was not done. He claimed he could get it in on Wed before the sale. This would have been too late as the sale would already be in full swing. The bottom line, he did not advertise with the money we agreed to give him (against our better judgment) in the two places critical for estate sales- PennySaver ( which would have been late for the sale anyway) and Estatesale.net. He did not purchase any advertising. He used a couple of social media posts and texted people he knew instead. He was poorly equipped- -not enough table ,and the ones he had were very dirty, -signage was simply white computer printer paper. -he did not put enough signs up around town. We actually gave him some materials that he did not use, so we put more signs up ourselves with this material and our own social media postings. While we are so grateful that in the absence of Chuck's lack of preparedness, professionalism, and business ethics, our sale was not a flop, the poor way in which things were run and the fact that he did not do as he agreed to is not something anyone wants to deal with. Lastly, before he agreed to the contract that he changed and we had to negotiate, he wanted to see what was put aside and would not be included in the sale. This is horribly poor taste. He is hired to do a job, and he sells what the client says is up for sale, not what isn't. This is wrong on so many levels but, in my opinion, is taking advantage of those grieving a loss and trying to work through a finality. Yuck! Please think twice before using him for your estate sale.

This shop caught our attention, had plenty of room for parking, items outside and inside. Danielle, the owner, was onsite and greeted us warmly. She said her dad buys most of the items and they have new inventory regularly. I signed up for the mailing list - 3 postcards per year of their events - and looked around the 3 parts of the store. There is a main level and two upper levels that are not connected and have separate staircases. There was a good mix of vintage items, household (linens, dishes, tea cups), and furniture. My sister bought a mobilgas can and I bought some knitting needles and a small book (how to knit). Prices were reasonable. Some items did not have prices but she said just ask, no problem! We will definitely stop back when in the area, or for an event!

The neighbor said they won't be open till April. The website and online clearly state it's open till 5pm. This was just ridiculous.

I don't think it was at all worth the trip to check this out. Please update your hours.

Today I decided to brave the dreaded left hand turn on Eggert to test my luck in Tonawanda. This place is wider than my old haunt, so points for quantity. Everything is sorted into catergories, yet I took the time to stroll through all the racks. Generally when I shop clothes I look to see if anything catches my eye instead of leafing through, especially if it has the color tag of the day. This store makes the plastic tether colored as well in case any of the tags accidentally get removed. Blue was the chosen child, at 50% off, and I found a few pairs of pants to try on, along with a sweater. You have to get permission to use the locked fitting rooms here. The peppy register girl let me in to a small room with the full length mirror on the door, a chair and a few wall hooks. I didn't have enough booty to fill the pants, and while they offer a returns rack, I took them back myself as I was passing through to get to the rest of the store. In the back they have housewares. I passed on a Mickey Mouse alarm clock (aesthetically great, but who uses analog these days?) and considered grabbing one of their numerous mugs (only second in bounty to the playpen of stuffies up for adoption) before just settling on the sweater that I had picked out. At the register I was pleased to find that my total came to three dollars and change. Sure, thrift stores are not as cheap as they used to be, and my change was rounded because pennies have been eliminated, but if you scour the racks you may find a great deal, used, or even new. They say one man's trash is another man's treasure, and I may have found a doubloon, but I'm still looking for the ultimate bounty.

It's located on East Robinson road closer to Twin City Highway. The parking lot is very small, so parking is limited, but you can park on the street right in front on the same side as the shop. From the outside, it looks like a very small antique shop, but once you get inside, you'll see a number of rooms to check out. Currently, there are a lot of Fall themed home decor items as well as vintage Christmas houseware and decor - two of my favorite holidays! I ended up purchasing some healing crystals for myself and as a gift for someone, burlap nesting boxes that open to keep things inside, long stemmed artificial sunflowers and my first lucky bamboo plant. They offered cookies, doughnuts and apple cider for free today and the guestbook at the register was also a very nice touch! The owner and staff were super friendly and I can't wait to check out the store again in the near future. 'The Old Greenhouse' is named due to it actually being a greenhouse before it became a flower shop, to now an antique shop, which are the same owners of 'The Old Chapel' a few minutes down the rowwhich apparently features hundreds of vendors with antiques.
