There are several rooms, and items range from books, to kitchen supplies, tools, taxidermy and more. Everything was labeled with prices which was nice and the owner allowed for a little bit of wiggle room in terms of bargaining, but overall we found the prices to be very fair - and left with a few more items then we expected! We would definitely stop here again as I'm sure the inventory is ever changing!

Reasonable $4 entry fee. This particular Sunday just didn't seem to have an interesting selection. But i guess thats what keeps people coming back!'

Writer Friend lives for thrifting. She had been trying to get me to go with her to check out STS…read morefor a while. Well, she got the chance, and dragged me through the shelves, stacks and racks one morning. I will say this: you really need to know what you're looking at, and it's general worth. There are a few gems hidden among the dross, so it's important to be able to tell them apart. WF found a couple of candlesticks, that looked the same to me, and each priced at $3. She looked at both, picked up one, and explained that one was pewter and probably worth $50-$100, and the other one was cast aluminum, and not even worth $3. It seemed that these difference were all over the store; similar things priced the same, with one being a bargain, and the other being a waste. One thing that I didn't appreciate was one of the old ladies shadowing us while we made our way through the shelves; she was always within a few feet of us. Maybe she wanted to be close by in case we had questions, but it made me feel like a criminal she wanted to catch in the act. When we finished exploring this room, we headed over the other one, which was primarily clothing and textiles. WF was looking for curtains that she could repurpose for another project. This room was bright and cheery, as opposed to the other one, with windows covered and few lights. The clerk in this area barely noticed us when we walked in and didn't leave her seat behind the desk the entire time we were there - she didn't even respond when we said "Good morning!". We didn't last long in here, since there was nothing WF saw that met her needs. If I had more room, and a better grasp of antiques, I may come here more often, if for nothing else than to find those hidden bargains and resell them on eBay. Right now, with limited storage and a hatred of dusting, I'm just going to limit myself to browsing.

Thrift adventure on a large scale! This is a pair of large shops on their own campus off the main…read moreroad. One shop is all clothing, nicely organized in an airy, bright space with dressing rooms. I'm a weird size, so I didn't linger, but in general, selection looked "nice," more consignment-store style than down-and-dirty thrifting. The other shop is simply made of awesome. The main area is a pleasant selection of furniture, linens, and "better" decor. Then there's The Little Shop off through a doorway, which is crammed with so many bargains, experienced thrifters will whimper. This section has all sorts of things (toys, decor, china, useful household stuff). These are paid for separately from the main store, and you find out the price by asking. Prices turn out to be low. It's much more compact back here, so don't bring a huge handbag and do pick up a shopping basket if you start seeing temptations.

So, I can wholeheartedly recommend Big Y to stock up on your country retreat supplies.

Shopping at Wild Birds Unlimited may be the most wonderful shopping experience ever, especially if…read morePhilip is providing his expert assistance. He knows everything there is to know about the products Wild Birds Unlimited (WBU) sells. What you need to know is that Wild Birds Unlimited sells bird feeders and lots of other assorted related items. As Philip eloquently stated, he is selling "non-essential" items. Well, I will tell you who thinks these things are essential, the birds in my backyard. I have been feeding my backyard birds for years using two wonderful bird feeders called the Eliminator. The Eliminator is specially designed to prevent squirrels from eating the bird seed. Let me tell you, the squirrels in my back yard have complained very loudly about this. When birds sit on a ring surrounding the bottom of the Eliminator, the weight of the birds opens small doors at the base of the feeder just large enough to allow the birds to feed. But, if a squirrel climbs on the ring, the weight of the squirrel activates springs causing the doors to shut. This bird feeder is an outstanding example of sophisticated engineering. Bird watching is a fascinating thing. I watched the birds who were watching the squirrels trying to eat their birdseed. I swear I saw the birds laughing at the squirrels who were too stupid to figure out how to open the doors and eat their birdseed. Anyway, one of my bird feeders broke which is almost impossible because the Eliminator is extremely well constructed with space age plastic. Most birds will go extinct before this bird feeder will wear out! The Eliminator comes with a guarantee. If it breaks, Wild Birds Unlimited will fix it. A year or so ago, a bolt of lightning hit a huge tree limb hanging over my bird feeders. A two ton limb fell, striking one of my bird feeders causing the plastic bird seed container tube to break and separate from the base of the bird feeder. I immediately rushed to my nearest Wild Birds Unlimited to find out how to fix this problem. WBU instantly honored the guarantee. They replaced my broken tube with a brand new tube and I was back in business in no time. Let me tell you, my backyard birds were thrilled about the great service provided by WiBU. They "cheep" about it all the time. If you want to get into backyard bird watching, I highly recommend Wild Birds Unlimited in Brookfield. Tell them Henry sent you. It will not get you a discount or anything else for that matter except to know that I will think it is funny that you mentioned my name. Seriously, if you shop here for your bird watching needs, please ask for Philip. He will provide all the hardware and all the advice that you may need for successful bird watching. Best wishes to all of you. Henry Pearlman Hpearl5@aol.com
