Before you go

  • Ask at the register which tag color is on sale this week and which is newest — the sale racks are cheap, the newest racks are where fresh donations land.
  • Check garments under good light for stains and test every zipper; most thrift sales are final.
  • Bring a tape measure and your key measurements — sizes vary wildly across eras and brands.
  • Sunday hours are on file (12 PM – 5 PM), so it fits a weekend circuit.
