I gave this long time local thrift shop 5 stars because I can rarely if ever go in here without finding items to buy. *Note that you park and enter in the rear of the building. This thrift shop used to be called Saint Kateri Thrift shop but ownership by the church was relinquished and the parishoners at St Kateri still volunteer to run this establishment. Many volunteers have been dedicated for decades. It was founded decades ago as a food pantry and thrift shop to directly benefit the local community, and it still does. Every penny goes to the community beyond the building expenses. The food pantry is located within but run separately.
The prices can be varied from incredibly cheap to a bit higher, and I have purchased items in all price ranges. They have every thing here. Furniture, antiques, knicknacks, kitchen, jewelry, collectibles, books, electronics, frames and wall decor, art and craft supplies, luggage, purses, toys, housewares, baby equipment, shoes and boots, sports equipment, clothes from newborn to plus, men, women, children, new items and used.
This is a favorite haunt of resellers. I had my eye on a little $5 child's toy and a regular reseller snatched that up and it is now $40 on FB Marketplace. Tuesday mornings when they open the line is around the corner. It is open an hour before Goodwill so resellers are in and out. I got there on a Wednesday at opening and about 15 people were in line.
Today I purchased a large framed folk art print for $6, a pair of boots like new for $5, an American Girl knock off horse trailer for $15, a bath rug for $4 and a Glitter Girl doll for $3. I also got a nice wooden kitchen island chair for $8. There is some consistency in pricing but not always.
They are open 3 days a week and will soon open 2 Saturdays a month. This is because they rely completely on volunteers. The ladies in there all have the patience of a saint and if you are a regular you will get to recognize them.
I find the store pretty well organized. It is clean and for the most part there is adequate space in the aisles. A few can be a bit tight. Anyway, if you are a thrifter and looking for a place to be surprised with what you might find, you will want to check this out. But if you find something really really good, leave it for me! read more
