THRIFT STORE Locations

Are there any local, non-chain stores in town or anywhere near us that are geared towards teen clothing? How about local hangout spots? My daughter would love to support local businesses, but clothing here mainly seems to be for littles or adults. She finds a few things in thrift stores, but it would be nice to check out other places as well. Any ideas you might have would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Look, I know the title sounds ridiculous. Half of you will think I’m trolling, the other half will tell me to quit immediately. Believe me, if I could walk away from this job without starving, I would’ve done it already. But something’s happening at my thrift store, something I can’t explain, and it all revolves around my boss. When I first got hired, everything seemed normal. I met with a supervisor named Jade. She was the only person in that place who felt normal. She had this bright energy, like someone who genuinely wanted the store to do well like someone who believed thrift shops had souls. “We’ve actually worked at a few of the same places,” she said during my intervie...

True Teenage Runaway Stories Number One: The Bus Stop I was 16 when I ran away from home. I had enough of dealing with my dad’s **** and everything just came to a head. I had very little money saved up, but it was all from mowing lawns and such. I never had a real part time job. But with my dad, it was hard being in the house with him all the time. I don’t want to go into it, but it wasn’t just because he was strict or anything because he really wasn’t. He was just too scary to live with after a while. I put some stuff in my backpack and I was able to catch a city bus to the city. I knew I had to save some money for food but spent as much as I had to in order to get ...

Unfortunately can’t read the artist’s signature. Looks like the first name may be Hanlon? Nothing on a Google reverse image search. Anyone recognize the artist by the style? Looks very 70s. Almost like a cosmic shopping mall. I really like it. Glad I “rescued” it.

Looking for a used wedding dress. Doesn’t have to be vintage but I enjoy older and unique styles. I’m a regular dress size 2-4. Not interested in online shopping as I’d like to try them on in person. I’ve already looked at many thrift stores in the area but they don’t have a big variety. Thanks in advance

this is so embarassing to admit but i def have a shopping addiction. and i was watching this rom-com called "confessions of a shopaholic" and in the movie the main character rebecca says her shopping addiction kinda stems from how her mom bought her all these hand me down stuff from thrift stores instead of getting her new products from store like all the other girls at her school had and now that she has her own credit card she kinda just goes insane and wants eveyrthing. and i feel like thats kind of my thought process too, like my parents always got me discounted things and as a kid it was really annoyign especially since they made like 400k so i knew they could afford it. so n...

I'm a big fan of secondhand shopping to find products for low cost. I live in the UK and always found it frustrating that there's no single place to easily find **nearby charity shops, thrift stores, car boot sales, or vintage markets**. Google Maps misses loads of them. So I decided to build an app to solve that which would be really useful while travelling. You can even share your thrift haul. It's called **Ganddee** (free on iOS & Android). I’d love for you to try it out and hear feedback.

Walked into a "vintage" shop today only to find a bunch of stuff I saw last week at the Restore, but now way more expensive. It's so frustrating that we have to compete with resellers for things that should be affordable, and it's becoming harder to find nice stuff at the few thrift stores in town. It's not like low income folks have a lot of options in this town. Now everything good gets snatched up by vintage stores, where they're priced up 3-4 times. What's next? Are they going to take the free food at Hole Food Rescue from the people who need it and start selling it back to us?

I love clothes. I don’t buy anything fancy, mostly leggings, hoodies, sweats, athletic clothing. But the colors, patterns, textures, materials…putting together an outfit everyday, even just to wear around the house, feels like creating something on a blank canvas. I buy almost exclusively from second hand stores and yard sales/online platforms (offer up, Poshmark, etc), and use thrift store coupons to discount the already discounted items. So I’m not spending a ton. I love soft, comfortable, high quality clothing at a great price. Plus, I like knowing that I’m preventing something from winding up in a landfill. My husband doesn’t understand why I love clothes shopping so much. D...

And it certainly was a Mad Year! First man in space; Berlin Wall erected; JFK inaugurated; Bay of Pigs; West Side Story; Catch-22; Barack Obama and Princess Diana born. At 9.0 (with White Pages) this is the highest graded copy of UK Mad Magazine #11 on the CGC census and almost certainly the best surviving copy anywhere. Unearthed raw in a London charity shop (thrift store) circa 2018. #madmagazine #alfredeneuman #1961

My Mother has been at me to give her grand babies since I turned 18 (even before if I am being honest). For years it went on, her promising I would never need a baby sitter. Telling me I would never need to look for help, etc. I wanted to go to college and have a career. Which I did, until chronic health issues made it impossible to maintain. With that being said, neither pregnancy was planned. I was using contraceptive as directed both times. I have several chronic and severe medical conditions that make caring for children challenging and my health very unpredictable. I have had multiple strokes, I have Gastroparesis, EDS and a few other chronic conditions. I am currently being worked u...

Pretty much the title. I’ve been looking around marketplace but I’d like to go to a shop too

Hi! I’ve gotten back to collecting both vintage and recent vinyl records. Can you guys recommend some secondhand stores like thrift shops and whatnot where there are good selections and deals? Thank you 😊

I love this thread, and I love all the beautiful equipment everybody shares. But folks posting about $5000 turntables that they found at Goodwill in perfect condition for 50 bucks, or rare German console players that their parents left them that they “have no information about“ are totally fake, right? I’m sure there’s some great finds in the wild, but these ridiculous posts are just trolling for engagement or something. Or am I totally off? I’m not surprised if somebody uncovers a dusty Sansui that they can tinker with and make work and resell for a couple grand. But a whole upscale Macintosh system, or 1930s European works of art with burled walnut paneling and speaker wire mad...

Hi, I will be going to japan over the summer, and I wanted to know what stores/locations are good for cheap but trendy clothing for girls. I heard that uniqlo and gu are popular and affordable, but a lot of their clothes are pretty basic / already in America. Basically what is the japanese version of urban outfitters/zara. Stuff that you would see like kpop stars or influencers wearing. I love thrifting, but from what I saw a lot of "japanese thrift" stores just look like curated vintage shops. If you have any more affordable recommendations, please let me know. I'm not planning on spending like 25 dollars on a tshirt that could be 5 dollars here.
