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.

Located in a relatively safe section of town, Frugal's Family Thrift store is available to service…read moreall of your second-hand market needs. 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.

I really wish I could leave a better review. The folks who run this place are so nice and sweet!…read moreThey are super helpful and chatty. I just personally don't like the store very much. There's a lot of stuff that's quite dirty, including tons of vinyls caked in mold and rotting away from water damage. Some of the prices are a bit crazy. The clothes are almost all fast fashion which, to be fair, isn't their fault! That's the story with most thrift stores these days. I think it's definitely worth it to stop and check out but don't expect to find oodles of treasures.

Being a retail veteran for many years I was always taught neat , clean and tidy . It was clean and tidy but organization of clothes by sizing would be a plus . I did find some goods but dug through .

Definitely good vibes! Must remember to get a number as soon as you walk in since the dressing room line can get crazy long. If they notice you don't have a number, the staff happily offers one to you. They offer great variety of vintage and some new clothing items and accessories. It's such a chic boutique, and for an vintage shop I'm surprised by how often they rotate their collection based on themes or seasons. Their prizes are reasonable and quality of the garments are great, you can see these girls care for those clothes. I've gone to vintage shops where they have the same items and never rotate their stock. I want to keep coming back to Donnas to find new items and surprises.
