Top Thrifty Shops

Unsure of where to shop to find thrifty treasures?
We have some ideas!

1. Circle Thrift - Located in Philadelphia on Frankford Ave, they are very friendly and welcoming with some cool threads. Check them out for their address and directions!

2. Goodwill - Check your nearby locations; the one we frequent most is located in Reading on 5th street, but there are many locations.We love how organized they can be!

3. Salvation Army - Another popular thrift store with many locations, check if there's one near you!

4. Buffalo Exchange - Although it is a consignment shop (you can "sell" your clothes rather than just donating) it does offer some reasonably priced, sometimes never worn gems. Can't make it to the one we visit in Philly? Look for the one closest you on their website.

5.  Once Worn Consignment - Located on 2nd Street in Philadelphia with many other eclectic stores. We've found some goodies here and we especially like their sale rack and $1.00 basket, always some cool finds.

6. Philly Aids Thrift - Not located too far from South Street, Philly AIDS Thrift is a quirky little shop with some cool finds, Sarah found an awesome Led Zeppelin poster for $6.00!















Remember, not only do we love shopping at thrift stores, but donating is just as important. We're giving back to the cause that we love and possibly providing that thrifted treasure for another. Don't forget to donate any of the clothes you aren't too fond of anymore, always recycle!

Thrift Store Reviews: Our favorite, Super Thrift!


Out of the thrift stores we shop at, Super Thrift in Philadelphia is definitely our favorite. It's a well organized, well-priced store. There is a nice selection of all kinds of items and we are almost definitely bound to find something when we go.
Each day, the store has "half off" a certain color tag. The color will be hanging up in the back. This store is not one of those thrifts who cater to more "indie" customers, nor is it too dark and dusty. It is a family thrift store with all kinds of clothes. What is best is that things are priced independently. For example, some stores will make it so all dresses are say, $5. Not here! They range from super cheap to cheap.

The location is nice and easily accessible by Septa (the 89, or the Market-Frankford el stop Berks). It is at Aramingo Ave and York Street in "The Richmond Mall" plaza.

The majority of our clothing thrifted is most likely to be from this store. There is some light hunting through clothes to find some goodies, but it's always worth it!



 (p.s. there's also a Mandee's here, a store we're also fans of  c: they always have good sales on shoes. )


Here is an article mentioning the store: http://murltemple.blogspot.com/2010/04/port-richmond-gets-super-thrifty.html

     All in all we give this store  5/5!




Love,
