Every day they have a sale, which makes those items very cheap. It's awesome! The only inconvenience (for the "I never carry cash" people) is they only accept cash or check. Also, I wish they were open more, but that's only because I like going in there so much. Oh, and they have a punch card that doesn't take long to fill, which gives you $5 off your next visit! A must-stop shop!

This is a clean and cute spot adjacent to Trinity Episcopal Church on the edge of downtown Independence. Store staff seems to be volunteers who are committed to their charitable mission.

I'd check with them for details.

The clothing is organized well and the prices are generally reasonable. The housewares and book selection is limited as well as limited toys. The service is friendly, but I do believe they follow around the customers too much. I think they have volunteers since it's part of Catholic charities, but they seem to always be putting away clothing in the area that people are shopping and watching the customers which is uncomfortable.

I visited this store during a recent trip to Penzey's. I found a rad little gauzy blouse by Hemline…read moreamongst the treasures, and some cute handbags that I liked. They have some nice jeans and dresses, also. Most of their clothes are generally upper brands, and designer. Personally I like thrift stores like this. A cute pair of pink flats caught my eye, and accessories. It's a cute little shop, so don't expect huge. The staff are very nice, and I like what Heartstrings do. I could've spent alot of money there, which seems to be the case on both sides of Santa Fe in downtown Overland Park, in all the stores and restaurants. Sacks is a thrift store, owned by Heartstrings. http://www.heartstringscf.org/history.asp. I will go back, just to see what they have. It's one of those stores, if you see something right then, you should get it, cause it won't be there the next time you go.

Would not consider this a vintage store. This is a second hand store at best, comparable to places…read morelike Platos Closet. Sells stuff you can find at target, walmart, jcpenny, etc. Prices are okay. Overall nothing to write home about in terms of what they have to offer. Store is blatantly religiously affiliated, if that matters to any potential customers, and they will be playing christian radio stations. My biggest gripe with this business is the uncomfortable customer service experience. The person working the counter claimed i "messed up the racks" by looking at items? I was the only customer in the store at the time, but I wasnt ripping through racks by any means and actively made sure to leave items/racks how they were, so i genuinely dont understand what this comment was made for. It felt uncomfortable and inappropriate to be addressed this way, almost in a disciplinary manner. I absolutely understand wanting to keep the store organized and being upset that you just finished reorganizing things, but this is a store where people will be shopping. If you cant handle people simply looking at clothes, then maybe you shouldnt own/work a clothing store ! (: Due to the lack of vintage clothing and the unnecessary comments made by the attendant, I wont be back

So Frugal's has moved locations! Unfortunately it's not for the better. There is less stock…read more(possibly because they've just recently reopened!) and the prices are higher. While there are definitely some treasures and deals to be found, it's ultimately a downgrade in quality from the previous location, at least at the current time. I also want to note that despite loudly advertising that "all clothing is $2.98," they have a section at the front of higher priced clothing items. I admit I think this is a rather duplicitous business practice. It also seems random what clothes are put up there. Some of it was the same fast fashion that infests the rest of the clothing racks, while some finer materials and true vintage was languishing on the $2.98 racks. It just didn't make sense to me! It's worth a stop if you're in the area, but I wouldn't go out of my way for Frugal's.

I found the parking lot to be depressing as if I was in the middle of no-where with civilization being hundreds of miles away. I'm just adding this point as it was the way I felt. That said, the staff friendly and most of the patrons were very nice. Please note Thrift stores are very hit or miss so going from week to week can result in a highly different experience. I'll be the first to admit, all thrift stores have a funky smell to them and I found Frugal's to be especially smelly; nothing to the point of unbearable but it lingers for the duration of the visit. Now in terms of being what do they offer, well pretty much everything and anything. Furniture, clothing, toys, books, CDs/DVDs, cookware, you name it. I found the kitchen section in terms of pots, pans, mixers and things of that nature to be very sparse while their main attraction was clothing. Off in the back right, one can find a small furniture section with some decent to horrible offerings. I liked some of the books they had and was extremely tempted to pick something up since I found many that perked my interest. Their music selection had me laughing as I noticed a couple odd bands from the 80s, 90s and beyond which I don't think anyone would buy. Color Me Bad anyone? I don't recall seeing much for motorized lawn equipment but I was in and out relatively quickly. Overall, thrift stores have a very particular clientele and subculture. I'm pretty sure if you're reading this you know how things go, so I'm not going to try and upsell you, rather give you the thumbs up to come on by and see what they got. It's safe and the people are nice while have a very large floorspace open to many different reasonably priced objects.

They have tons of vintage clothing, and they also have an excellent selection of vintage records. They have a smaller selection of vintage shoes and hats and purses. They have a variety of knickknacks that are vintage or unique. The Service was friendly and helpful and they had sales going on at the time. The only reason I give it a four star is that I think their clothing was overpriced even with having 20% off.
