Thrifty Joe's is a cool little store that's similar to stores like Bookman's. So if you don't live close to a Bookman's it's an okay substitute. The employee's are sort of blah. I've been here multiple times and they never ask if you need help finding anything etc. They just don't seem all that friendly to me. But, I do like the vinyl sections they have because that's pretty hard to find without driving out to Zia Records, Stinkweeds or Bookmans. They have good variety of everything for the most part and most of it is pretty organized.
