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.

This is an adorable little boutique in St. Paul. Not only is the boutique adorable, but there are…read morelots of activities for kids and a lot of them are free. A friend introduced us to sing class which my son loves and has taught him how to sing and dance and develop a great love for music. There is playtime on certain days, baby yoga, private events and picture events for purchase. Wonderful staff and a wonderful place for kids to go and play, sing and have fun! Thank you, Teeny Bee!

This place is so cute and I seriously want to buy every single thing in it!…read more I've bought books, clothing, a mobile, some teething/chewing toys and a wonderful invention called a Shusher here- and my boys have loved every single thing! (Well, except the clothes. They really have no opinion on clothing yet. But I'm sure they would love them, if they were old enough to understand fashion.) The owner is super nice and has great suggestions on what to buy even if you only have a vague idea of what you're looking for. She's been all over the store showing me things she thought my babies would like, and opened some of the packages so we could try them out. The place is called Teeny Bee for a reason, they have a lot of baby stuff, and some toddler stuff, but not much for kiddos older than that. They do have classes in the basement that I think are usually free- dance classes and music classes. I can't wait til my boys are old enough to go! You should also "like" her page on FB, she announces random sales and gives product reviews. Here's the only slightly negative- it's on the expensive side. But it's boutique stuff that you can't buy at Babies-R-Us or Target. And in my opinion, it's way better than most of the stuff you'll get there anyhow, but I know how it feels to pay mucho money for something your kid will only wear for a month (if you're lucky.) But sometimes you just have to buy stuff like that because it's SO DARN CUTE!

Massive selection! I learned today that Buffalo Exchange moved out of Minneapolis due to crime and…read moreconstruction on the former road. They are now located in Saint Paul on Snelling and I'm thrilled as a STP girly. My friend introduced me to the shop after she scored some cowboy boots for a themed party. We visited together on a Sunday and were able to snag some fun deals including a swimming suit, a dress I plan to wear for Halloween, and some tops. Buffalo Exchange sells both men and women's clothing along with shoes and accessories. Pricing is fair and the interior is clean and well organized. The staff is friendly and helps bring items to the dressing room to try on and write your name on a big board. Upon purchase, you will be handed a token if you don't take a bag or bring your own bag. From there, you get to pick a charity of your choice to donate a percentage of your purchase to with no extra fees included. Amongst favoring second hand wear, I also support Buffalo Exchange's mission and variety of items. I look forward to finding more gems very soon. Welcome to Saint Paul!!!

Stopped by while trying to walk off our ice cream [from Milkjam]. I personally don't like thrift…read morestores because of the overwhelming smells (it's like dust mixed w/ the scent of clothes left in plastic bins too long - I hate that scent so much). As soon as you walk in you definitely can smell it. My mom knew I wouldn't last long so we hardly made it pass the accessories & shoes - which is in the front part of the store. It looked like they had a generally decent inventory of clothes & shoes though. I didn't really look at prices of anything so no comment on that. Seen some retro-ish shoes, I guess if you are into or looking to bring 90s-00s styles back, they may have something for you.

I sometimes really good quality art supplies like alcohol markers cute stationery. I also love blind boxes and find them a few dollars cheaper here vs. other retailers. I love graphic tees & love that they have a lot of them, however the displays on the wall don't match the cubes under. This area can also be ever disorganized. The checkout is setup like self checkout terminals but sometimes the staff stand at them and scan your items.

What's special about this store is that it's connected to TJ Maxx next door. You simply walk between the two stores without exiting the building. It's perfect when the weather is less than stellar. It's convenient and a nice touch! This plaza has a lot of parking. I've never had problems finding a spot. This store has the best Sanrio merchandise. I have bought a number of Sanrio figurines. They are cute, cheap, and sturdy. They have flown back home with me in pristine condition. The plushie selection is also excellent. Squishmallows go for $6 each. I have purchased many cool ones from this store over the years. I also got a Squishmallows bracelet that was cool. The snacks and candy are great. I have purchased M&M's and Haribo gummies from this store. They satisfied my cravings and are reasonably priced. I like the phone accessories here. From a corded travel mouse, to phone mounts, there's something practical and cool to purchase. I liked the Twizzlers wall charger and sushi phone case. Sadly, the latter was for an iPhone. If it were available for my phone, I would have got it in a heartbeat. Staff are always friendly at the checkout. I tend to pay with a credit card. I like the quick one-question survey about the shopping experience on the payment keypad. It's straightforward and simple. It's a decent store. I enjoy dropping by when I'm in the area. (11)

Wow, such a fun shop to poke around in!…read more I've come in twice now: once with a friend during a thrift weekend, and once before eating at Hazel's across the road. There's always something to find here! There's a lot of vintage, secondhand clothing here - and nothing is boring. Think bold colors and patterns, quirky designs, and out-there materials. Statement pieces for sure! There are certainly some staples as far as accessories and footwear goes, too. But much of the accessories are quirky and unique: think doll hands for earrings kind of vibe! There's a decent amount of knick-knacks and giftables here as well, that are more local artisan made or new. The store can feel a bit overwhelming at first entrance, so take it by section and putz with an open mind. Prices were on par with higher-end vintage stores, but they do run some sales a few times each year. There is a dressing room with a curtain for trying things on!

The store is not only carefully curated so that every item is worth bringing home, the prices make it reasonable to actually do so.
