Let's be honest. When it comes to thrifting, no one shares where they shop at. It's almost like asking for my social security number. It's that serious. I found out about "Thrift Shop Row" a few years ago from a coworker but never stopped by till last week. There's about 4 thrift stores in the shopping center but only 2 are worth checking out. Since I found out about the row from a coworker, I decided to pay it forward and share the information.
The Sheepfold Thrift Store supports
The Sheepfold which provides a refuge and shelter for abused mothers and their children. The shop is huge! They have daily specials - the day we visited, everything was 50% off. Most of their selection is good stuff probably because people feel it's going to a good cause. I saw designer bags (Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Coach), I wanted to peek at the clothes but because we were rushed on time, decided to look at my other favorite sections instead: books, housewares, toys and art.
I found a box of never opened Ziggy Valentine's Day cards .50, The Social Customer book .50 (Brand new! This is on Amazon for $16!), 2 books for my 6 year old 2 at .25 each! and 2 frames for my Husband. There are some great finds here!

Family Thrift is big too. They have daily specials - we went on a Wednesday and all white tags were 40% off. Also on Wednesday is buy 1 get 2 free (has to be same department and daily color tag special) - People were going crazy in there. I managed to find 2 vintage dolls $1.91, Yashica Microtec camera $2.92 and 4 used place mats $1.51 (for product photo shoots). I was bummed that it was one of those thrift stores that markup certain items. Used vintage Tupperware and vintage Pyrex were overpriced. I passed on a Jell-o mold and bowl. I loved how they separated clothes by size. Most thrift stores we shop at arrange clothes by gender and color. This store had gowns, plus size, vintage and designer sections. I saw an older wood entertainment center priced at $2.92 and the magazines were all recent issues at .95 each - It's definitely worth a visit.
