THRIFT STORE Locations

So I snagged this today at my local thrift store. It was priced at $44 and I was able to talk her down to $35. I've been wanting one since my original Superstar Barbie from 1977. Even Mattel emailed me saying they didn't know when they would offer more and said they are sold out. Ebay was too pricey. I rarely go in this shop and she was 1 of only 4 Barbies they had. I feel I won the lottery. 🩷🥰

Suggestion for those wanting to protest the current administration and the large companies that have supported this administration, consider purchasing holiday gifts from other people via eBay, thrift stores, Mercari, Poshmark, Nextdoor, garage sales, etc. Boycotts work but as we enter the holiday season many will want to shop for loved ones. Consider buying used gifts from individuals. There are many brand new or lightly used items you can purchase online or in your local community. This has the added benefit of being better for the environment as well. Encourage children to clean up old toys and put all the pieces together to give to another child. If they like wrapping presents, you...

I work for a nonprofit and operate its resale shop. Our goal for 2026 is to try to get younger people in because most of our customers are over 65. We need to increase sales (and I’d really like to do so without increasing prices) to fund our mission programs (grants are getting harder to come by), and we’d really like to get people under 60 in the store. Our biggest strengths currently are our prices and everyone at the store is super welcoming and friendly and engaging without being annoying and overbearing. I’m 40 and love 60s/70s decor and appliances, as well as 90s nostalgia but I don’t think my personal tastes make up a large margin of shoppers. Just hoping for some help a...

So, I got diagnosed with ADHD probably around 2021, or there abouts. I'm presently unmedicated due to the shortage, and am very forgetful but otherwise coping okay due to the many years (33ish) I was undiagnosed and had to find ways to function. That said, the one unbearable symptom (if it is from adhd at all), is that when I'm out shopping and it's anywhere that's cluttered, which is most places, but usually some place like a michaels or a thrift store, I'll get this weird dark halo around my vision, like actual tunnel vision, and my head feels like it's stuffed with cotton. I have no idea if this even makes sense, but I feel like I have to sometimes physicall...

My girlfriend and I recently moved to the area. We’re rural but planning a trip this weekend to do some shopping and such. I noticed there’s a ton of thrift stores in Bozeman. We’re hoping to get some kitchen supplies and some winter clothing.

experienced something weird and upsetting yesterday while passing as a gay couple. i’m nb and was on T for 5 years, i pass as a man but i’m not. my friend/bf is on T and passes as a man, he also has a 3 year old. we went to the thrift store yesterday to get some things and while there, i noticed people didn’t seem as friendly as when i go out alone, or when i’m less fem (i was wearing dangly earrings big whoop i guess). basically i ignored the weird feelings and we went to checkout. his kid was in the cart and me and him were sharing a cart but planning to checkout separately. i was talking pretty clearly about that in front of the guy at the register, took out what i was getting and...

The newest volume in the library relates to a question that comes up often, that has come up more often than usual around here lately: "What kind of drum rug should I buy?" The short answer? None. Absolutely none at all. A "drum rug" is simply a normal rug, marketed by a drum equipment company, possibly decorated with a drum related pattern on it, and a steep "**** drummer" surcharge added. Unless you simply see one that you like, and you want it more than the money it costs, don't buy "drum rugs." In terms of form and function, literally every last one is a complete ripoff. "Okay, wait a minute. I need a drum rug, but I don't need...

I’ve had at least 3 moments in the last 24 hours that have completely killed my mood. First was a shirt I found at the thrift store that smelled exactly like my late grandma’s house, and my mind immediately went back to being like 8 years old and watching Bolt in her living room during summer vacation. Then just now, I was scrolling on my phone and heard the old 3DS eShop soundtrack (the REALLY old one from 2011-2012), and I just sat there and listened to it on repeat while remembering all the times I’d get a 3DS gift card for my birthday, and I’d scroll through the shop for HOURS trying to figure out what to use it on. It’s depressing. Like it actually puts me in such a somber m...

A scientific junk drawer for the terminally curious. r/PawnshopGeology is where geology meets thrift culture, where fluorescent minerals sit next to radioactive clocks, where Paraloid B-72 is spoken of like holy water, and where the average post is equal parts hard data and “what the **** is that.” This is a home for: People who own a Geiger counter but bought their best sample at a Goodwill Pedantic analysts who still get giddy when something glows Collectors who run spreadsheets on Fiestaware glaze variants and also buy autunite in baby food jars Rockhounds who speak in microroentgens and UV wavelengths Museum brain in a yard sale world If you have ever: Stabilized a mineral wi...

Anyone know where I could shop for antique or second hand watches in Austin or surrounding areas? Flea markets, antique shops, thrift stores or anything like that? Any leads will be greatly appreciated!

Last week I stumbled upon this Seiko 5 at a local thrift store for $15 and couldn’t believe my luck. After some research, I figured out it’s a SNZD05 with reference 7S36-01X0: silver dial, rotating diver-style bezel (the classic 10/20/40/50 markings), 7S36 automatic movement, and a bilingual Arabic/English day-date window. These usually have 100m water resistance, full steel bracelet, and a 23-jewel movement. Tried searching for its price, but info online is mostly listings in pesos or other currencies, so still have no idea about the real resale value in CAD or USD. If anyone can help with market value, I’m interested, but I don’t plan on selling. It feels vintage, robust, and the ...

My best friend found this wonderful creature in a South Florida thrift shop recently, and of course brought him into our lives forever. His fingers (black gloved) are bendy and hold shape (and other things). His (beautiful) face seems drawn on with marker. He does not smell like anything, even though he looks like he would smell like thrift shop. What do you think? We feel he has a calming presence.

Lumina Alliance just opened their new thrift store today at 545 Higuera in downtown SLO (right next to Achievement House thrift store)! It’s being run by the same staff and volunteers from The Hope Chest, which closed recently. Just so folks know: the old Hope Chest spot down the street is reopening as a for-profit vintage shop, not connected to Lumina or any nonprofit. If you want your donations and purchases to support local survivors, make sure you’re heading to the new Lumina Thrift location. One cool thing about Lumina: donated items don’t just go on the sales floor — they’re also used to clothe survivors living in Lumina’s emergency safe houses and shelters. Furniture do...

{Authors note: Hi! This story was originally written as one continuous story, but with the limit on posts for Reddit, I've cut it into different parts. Please, read this story as if the next part picked up immediately from the first, that is the best way to enjoy. Thank you for reading!} I had lost my father. I don't want to discuss his cause of death or passing, considering how I still feel about it. You just need to know I had a rough winter after my father passed and the tension rose between my mother and my brother, Josh. They never got on well and without my father to mediate their arguments, their relationship just kinda blew up.  After months of trying to fill my fathers p...

Every geology lab and mineral museum uses the same core properties to identify minerals. You don’t need a lab to do it at home. With a few cheap tools and a little practice, you can ID most of what shows up in pawn shops, estate sales, and thrift stores. Here’s the same approach they use at the Montana Tech Mineral Museum, scaled down to a DIY kit. Core tools: • Streak plate (or the unglazed underside of a toilet tank lid if you’re resourceful) • Hardness picks (or just use a steel nail, copper penny, glass, and your fingernail) • Hand lens or 10× loupe • Magnet • UV flashlight (365 nm is ideal, 395 works fine) • Pocket scale • Geiger counter optional but fun P...
