7 Reasons To Shop At Our Thrift Stores

  • It’s inexpensive.

  • There is no sales tax.

  • The goods are in better condition than you might think. Many of the clothes come from middle-class homes where people can afford to toss aside barely-worn clothes for the newest trend.

  • You’ll find things there that you can’t find anywhere else. Records, vintage jewelry, unique t-shirts, and cool jackets, too.

  • It’s environmentally-friendly. Fewer resources are burned creating new goods and you saved the awesome t-shirt you just bought from ending up in a landfill.

  • It’s fun. If you have bargain-hunting tendencies, thrift stores might be a little piece of heaven for you.

  • You’re supporting our programs to feed, clothe, and shelter the homeless.

How to Shop at Our Thrift Stores

  • Stop in frequently because our stores have a constant turnover of merchandise. If you’re looking for something specific, don’t be afraid to return to the same store a few times and leave empty-handed when your item isn’t there.

  • Be patient. Don’t be disappointed if you do not find something that you like, there is always next time.

  • Be prepared to rummage. By nature, our thrift stores are crowded. That’s okay, it just means it will take a little more time to find what you’re looking for. But when you get a designer sweater for $4, it’s well worth it.

  • Usually clothes are color coded, so if you are in the market for a particular color blouse; you can browse through those colors.

  • Check the garment for stains, rips, zippers that do not work, etc. Most things are perfectly fine; however, it would be wise to check them.

  • Give back. Don’t forget to drop off the things you no longer use or need when you’re at the thrift store. Most of us have a pile of stuff to give away “someday” — old clothes, an unused piece of furniture, a box of books pulled from the shelf to make more room. When you’re heading to the thrift store, pack it up and take it with you.
