| - In my quest to leave no thrift store unturned (at least on the east side), I visited the Salvation Army thrift store. The last time I was there it was a Tuesday Morning or something. I think they must have taken a wall down or something, it seems way bigger now.
The place had the usual thrift store feel. Not pretty, not fancy, but with the whiff of potential. Well, that whiff delivered! (That sounds gross.)
I found five different items (two skirts, one jacket, two shirts) all for less than $15. Like anywhere else you need to really dig. The signage was not great, very inconsistent, but it seemed like they were making an effort.
It was mostly clothing (mostly women's) with a wall of books, some bedding and luggage near the books, and I think a little furniture. Honestly, I was there for the women's clothes and paid almost no attention to the rest of it. There are three changing rooms (all tiny, but mine had a working lock for which I was grateful), and they do take plastic.
The color of the day was purple, meaning that everything with a purple tag was half off (the jacket!). The pricing varied within the categories (example: a shirt could be $4.99 or $7.99), depending on the perceived value.
To sum up: I will go again.
