I've known for a while that there's a thrift store somewhere in the area run by people from my…read morechurch. Last week, I finally realized it was the one I pass by almost every day. (I'm a bit slow on the uptake. don'tjudgeme.) Hours are as follows: M-R: 9 am - 5 pm F: 9 am - 2 pm (3 pm?) Sat: closed (church!) Sun: 12 pm - 4:30 p.m. I was in the market for some warm jackets/coats, because I really only had one warm jacket (yep, one) to keep me alive through the winter, and what if something happened to it!?!? I've also basically been wearing my shoes into the ground, so I figured a pair of boots might be nice for the winter. And yes, retail therapy is a thing. There's a rack out on the porch with free clothes (just don't take the hangers), and the store is somewhat divided into two sections. The left side has mostly kids' clothes and a bunch of warm jackets and the side you enter from has all other clothes + shoes. There are books and various types of food to the right. :O My friend happened to be working there the day before I was planning on going, so I told him what I was looking for and he texted me pictures and prices. Twas pretty awesome. There were a lot of wool jackets that I would have loved to get, but I was way too short and/or shrimpy for them. This wasn't too much of a problem though since I found plenty of other things. :D! For $34.98, I obtained the following: -Red heels that I can actually walk in -Super comfy dark brown heels that I can wear to clinic (yay!) -Leather ankle boots (black) -Leather knee-high boots (black) -Super warm blue winter jacket -Super comfy beige hoodie -Super warm maroon vest -Leather jacket (originally from Yarid's, which I cannot afford) (I also picked up a free sweater from the porch.) Basically, the shoes/regular clothes were $2-3, the jackets were $5 and the leather jacket was $10. I am rather ecstatic over my finds! :] Everyone there is super nice/friendly. Definitely stop by if you're looking for great deals! Cash or check only! [Edit] In response to the review below me (apparently, everywhere you go = a 1 star rating)...in what way do they "do absolutely nothing for the community" and how are they greedy people? They foster kids who have been pulled from drug-addicted homes, host free cooking classes for the community to teach them how to make healthy + delicious meals, operate a school and raise money for families who have fallen on hard times, which is a lot more than I can say for a lot of people out there. Please don't slander others when you have no legitimate reasoning behind it.

They offer various furniture and home decor, handworks, fabric, jewelry, soy candles, and even homemade treats! I was excited to stumble upon this place while we were in the area, as they had some holiday weekend/small-business specials, offering goodies such as wreaths, ornaments, placemats, a crocheted wine carrier, and other cool handcrafted goods. They also have giveaways and portion of their sales get donated to local charities and pantries! AMAZING! Can we talk about the homemade Oreo balls, pumpkin cookies with caramel icing, and the sourdough bread from CC Sweets? Definitely check this place out - a perfect spot to find gifts for others and for yourself!

I bought a bike rack for my car here and the owner at my request put it together and on my car and made sure it was good to go--which seems a simple thing but might not have happened at some stores. Though I'm handy with tools, there was a real peace of mind knowing an expert put it on my car and got it squared away before I hit the Interstate. There's no pressure here, either: I mentioned I might want to upgrade my Stumpjumper sometime to a bike more in the $8,000-$10,000 range and we talked about various bikes some but they didn't take me by the shirtsleeve and try to show me their most-expensive models at all. There's just a real sense of good people here who truly want their customers to get what they want and need and placing that ethos far above making a quick profit off people. Very impressed.
