I called and Cat checked-it ended up I hadn't been charged for the T, but irrespective of that she immediately offered to ship it no extra charge! I found such steals like a book on how to live with a huge penis (for my future boyfriend :) and a wallet from Pulp Fiction that says "Bad Motherf***er" She is such a good person. Also runs a nonprofit for almost a hundred kitties! I feel good about supporting this gem of a store.

I went to the university of Georgia for undergrad and frequented this store often for unique finds…read more I still have pieces I bought over 5 years ago that I still wear and get compliments on. While the stuff in this store is slightly pricey it is very good quality and will last you for a long time. I was in need of sunglasses this trip around and they have funky unique sunglasses. I immediately started getting compliments on them when I put them on. They were super cheap at $12 and actually do have good UV protection. Definitely check out this spot when you want to find unique pieces for your wardrobe

I found a few fun work tops and dresses and an oversized soft blazer that will be great for fall. Also a few hair clips. All for around $100. I actually love that the employees leave me alone! I felt free to browse as long as I wanted. I made multiple trips to the dressing room and could just walk right in. There was no line to check out and the employee at the register was perfectly pleasant. I actually may go back today to get a sweater I passed on that I'm still thinking about!

I walked in and he only showed me a $ 250 pair of Maui Jim and then a $ 50 pair of some cheapo to make the other one look good. He uses all the sales lingo "What are your eyes worth to you?". I should have got an Aviator style as it does not look so bad but they cost less than the most expensive ones and so I now look even older than I am (LOL). My suggestion is go in and get 2-3 in the price range and then go home and look at their reviews and make sure you are not overpaying. You will be paying full retail at this store. Good man and we like that he lives in Athens.

I've been a loyal customer and donor to America's Thrift for years, but the pricing has gotten…read morecompletely out of hand. I've always loved supporting them and donated almost everything our family didn't need anymore, but I can't justify it now. Seeing 12 half-pint jars priced at $13 (they're $9 at Target brand new), almost $30 for a kid's Columbia jacket, and basic household items marked anywhere from $12-$20 is honestly shocking. Thrift stores are supposed to be affordable for lower- and middle-income families, not more expensive than retail. Goodwill has a bad reputation, and AT is heading in that direction. I'm really disappointed, because this used to be my favorite place. But I'm not going to donate items just to have them marked up so high that the families who actually need them can't afford them. From now on, I'll be taking my donations across town to locally owned/non-profit thrift stores that keep prices reasonable and actually serve the community. Habitat and Project Safe are much better options now. I hope America's Thrift listens and makes some changes, because it didn't used to be like this.

Just about my favorite place to go in Athens. They have a great assortment of housewares. Some…read moredays they are probably stocked better than others so plan to go back if shelves are sparse.

We…read moredidn't find the flowy piece she had envisioned, although I came across a brown pair of Seven for All Mankind corduroys for a jaw-droppingly affordable price. They fit perfectly, too. I also noticed some cool vintage Anna Sui t-shirts, boots and Anthropologie pieces. As you might infer from the brand names I have mentioned, Menagerie is a more high-end consignment shop. For example, the manikin in the window wore a loose brown shirt dress -- basically a potato sack that only a runway model could pull off. And it had been marked down from $300. I'm happy with my cords, though; I'm sure they will become a fall and winter wardrobe staple.
