This is still such a wonderful place with a great selection of music and so many cool retail items at a great value. Expertly curated and displayed. Still, my most favorite record store I've ever been to anywhere! Moved to California 30+ years ago and every time I'm in town I gotta take a peek and do that whole nostalgia trip in my head-if only the walls could talk, OH MY! I love the creaking floors as you walk across the showroom remembering those sounds heard in the basement packing my own orders to ensure in stock items were shipped. The cast of characters that visited and cool musicians- one day Devo came popping through handing out 3-D buttons with those flower pot looking things on their heads and strange jumpsuits. "It's not too late To whip it Into shape Shape it up Get straight Go forward Move ahead" my daughter wore my old jacket from 1979 (in picture) . The nice staff were very friendly and enamored with the jacket and the manager took some pictures which gave my daughter a huge tickle. I think the cat's name is Bob Fuchs and he's been there since the late '80s and a good ambassador of the brand and so kind to indulge us. This is a must visit if you're ever in Minneapolis set aside some time it's worth every minute!

Had I checked my filtered messages sooner perhaps we could have avoided this childish outburst and I wouldn't have known this side of you. Perhaps you have an amazing business but unfortunately I'll now have to warn people about you. It's not a good business or life practice to make assumptions about people, especially such negative ones, because your assessment could be incredibly incorrect.

You're definitely doing a great job of being authentic to the world about who you truly are, perhaps you should spend some of your sleepless nights focusing inwards instead.

Cheapo Records

Decent selection but not as good as Electric Fetus…read more Cheapo Records is a music store with lots of CDs, Vinyls, and other music related records. Personally, not my favorite but there's some good movie records at a decent rate. The interior is large so there's a ton to choose from, but personally it is more on the older side in terms of what they have in stock. Maybe not the best for someone who likes electronic music but definitely more so for a pop or rap type enjoyer. Prices are what you'd expect for a record store. Nothing that screams great value (except for the classical vinyls that everyone has) or the occasional CDs but none that stood out to me. Overall, they were friendly when checking out. 4 stars is appropriate for this place.

I dropped by this store the next day after work. I love a good music store, especially if it has used CDs, cassettes, and records. When I lived in Rochester, I would head over to Dinkytown mainly because it had a huge Cheapo Discs store. I could easily spend an hour or two looking at the selection of CDs that were available. I'd often find gems there. The Dinkytown location closed probably over a decade ago. I was sad. Sad, no more. It lives here in uptown Minneapolis, one of three Cheapo locations that remain in the Twin Cities. It has changed names and is now Cheapo Records. Its online site still uses discs in its URL. This location has a tiny parking lot. I got there at probably 4:30 pm. I had no problem finding a parking spot. Parking is free. I pulled into one and entered the store. I was in heaven! The selection is awesome. If I wasn't flying home, I'd get records. I didn't want to take a chance getting them damaged, so I went with CDs, which is my default. It is one of my favourite stores now. I added to my Pet Shop Boys (PSB) collection with special edition CDs that I did not previously own. The Release album had a metallic blue sleeve and was remastered. I picked that one up. One of my favourite PSB CD covers is Very. It's bright orange and tactile. It was at this store. If I didn't own it, I would have snatched it. I often can find CDs that I don't own, but they end up completing my collection. Erasure singles are a perfect example. I enjoy looking at some of my favourite Canadian artists to see if I can find any special US releases. Jann Arden is a good example. I tend to own every CD by her, which was the case here. However, there was a Nelly Furtado single on CD that I picked for the ridiculous price of $0.99. I bought eleven CDs, with one being a two-CD set. I feel like this place needs to have baskets for folks like me as I shop. I did spend over an hour at this store. It was comfortable and enjoyable. You can also find record and CD players, t-shirts, accessories, and more. It's all great. I headed up to the front to pay for my items. My items came up to $55 after tax. That's not shabby considering that a new record costs $30 these days and that's on the cheaper side of the cost spectrum. I paid with a credit card. Done! The nice man helping me at the counter placed all my CDs in a bag. I thanked him and headed out with my music gems. I love this store so much. I may need to visit the other two Cheapo locations when I return to the Twin Cities. Otherwise, I'll be back visiting this one because it's awesome. If you love music, you must come here. I highly recommend it. (98)

As someone who absolutely loves vintage fashion, I can hardly put into words how much I adore Corner Store Vintage. From the moment I discovered this gem in Minneapolis, it instantly became one of my favorite spots in the city. On my last visit, I scored two pairs of vintage shades for less than $15, and they were either brand new or in pristine condition--a true bargain for any vintage enthusiast. The service was just right, with the staff offering a friendly greeting while also giving me the space to browse at my own pace. It felt like walking through a museum dedicated to old-school fashion, which made the experience even more enjoyable. If you're on the hunt for unique vintage clothes at amazing prices, I highly recommend checking out Corner Store Vintage. You won't be disappointed! read more

Everything was fairly reasonably priced as well, which can be hard to find at a vintage store these days. The person at the counter was really helpful & kind; they greeted us on our way in & we chatted while they rang me up. All in all, this is a cute little shop that (I learned today) has been around for 20ish years! Highly recommend a stop in :)

The lyrics to "Part Of B-Squad's World," by Annie D…read more Look at this stuff... Isn't it neat? Wouldn't you think my (mod dress/leather purse/old vinyl/polyester blazer/costume jewelry/saddle shoe) collection's complete? Wouldn't you think I'm the store, The store that has... everything. Look at this trove Treasures untold How many wonders can one thrift store hold... Lookin' around here you think Sure, they've got everythiiiiiiiiing! I was looking at the one measly (but spot-on) review of B-Squad and thinking, "B-Squad should not be a hidden gem. It's just a regular gem. I mean, it is kind of off the normal thrifting route, but it's totally worth writing about in the tune of The Little Mermaid song lyrics." This cute little shop in SoMi has a really eclectic selection that is a mix between newer things and real-deal vintage, plus records, a little decor, accessories, shoes, boots and some kids stuff. The store is kept up well, so there always seems to be some cool new thing in the window or racked up when I visit, which is not as often as I'd like. Anecdote from my recent visit: I went a couple of weeks ago and, while I browsed the merch, I eavesdropped on the clerk's convo with her friend. She was like, "OMG, you just have to come in and look at this bag.... Yeah, it's gorgeous! And It's probably not going to last very long because it's so cheap... and it's a FRYE!" Simultaneously as the word FRYE came out of the shop-girl's mouth, I saw the bag. I should say, I saw THE bag: a camel-colored, buttery leather backpack with vintage looks and modern functionality (laptop pouch!) for $40. I had to have it. After she hung up the phone, I sheepishly asked the clerk, "Is this the bag you were talking about? Because I'm a rude, rude person and was listening to your entire conversation." I braced myself to hear that her friend wanted it, but luckily, she replied with, "Yes! I'm in love with that thing... you should definitely buy it!" So, I just had to follow her advice, right? I even offered to write her friend a letter with my apologies for eavesdropping her out of an amazing leather bag... and my condolences, because she'll never see the wonder that is this bag. Girl, if you are reading this, I'm sorry... but I'm also not sorry at all.

The store is full of hidden treasures waiting to be discovered, but it's not overwhelming like some vintage/thrift stores you'll find. Not only that, but the atmosphere is so welcoming!

You can really see all the items and everywhere you turn, there's something new. My mom and I like to frequent this shop to see what's new, and I think we'll come even more now that there's a new location! Be sure to follow the owners Instagram (@retrowanderlust) to keep up with any sales she has or if she has changes to her schedule. I believe she's planning on doing a bit of e-commerce, so that will be fun to see as well! We've bought some dresser drawers from RW before, and today my mom picked up a beautiful large blue tablecloth for only $28. She also bought a concrete candle for $14. I'd say pieces are priced fairly -- sturdy and unique antiques are an investment! That said, I think there's something in this store for any budget, there's a wide range of pricing.

If you're down to scrounge, this place might be for you (I'd just urge you to wash your hands after). That said, I specifically went here today because I needed a stapler. Mine went missing when I moved (probably in some box I've yet to unpack in my storage unit), and there's zero need to purchase a brand new stapler when I know I can get an old reliable Swingline from a thrift place like this (plus, I remembered on my first amble through here that they had a whole basket of staplers). Sure enough, I was able to acquire a stapler. But you can bet your ass that I brought along some staples to test out said staplers... the first one I picked up had a busted spring, but the second was fully functional. Both had been priced at $3. I mention this simply as a word of warning to consider testing before you buy.) I also picked up a bobbin thread case and a quart sized bag of crayons (both priced at $3) while I was there. This place is good for finding the kind of craft stuff your granny would keep around at a low price. And honestly, you're doing the environment a BIG favor to snag this kind of thing off a thrift store shelf rather than "convenience buy" it off Amazon or whatever. You can save money and feel good about yourself. The rest of the store has stuff like glassware, clothing, kids stuff, and holiday decor. It's not all amazing stuff. I reckon a lot of folks donate stuff they don't care to sort through when an elderly parent finally kicks it. The employee behind the checkout counter was a little slow to bother acknowledging me, but once we were interacting, they were friendly enough and wished me a good day; seemed like they were happy I actually bought something instead of just browsing.
