What is old is new again! I love a good neighborhood thrift store. Family owned and operated,…read moreThrify Thrift in Skokie, IL is a true gem. I think they're a fairly new establishment which opened over a year ago. I've gone twice in the past month. The prices are crazy excellent where you can find quality clothes if you dig deep enough. Clothes are available for all sexes and age ranges. They don't just sell clothes either. There's a good variety of things for sale like basic housewares, accessories, music, movies and comic books. I even saw a few items like tool sets, a set of golf clubs and a vintage Nintendo Cube set for sale. On both occasions, I spent an hour here and never left empty-handed. Look out for their 50% color tag sales that are generally offered daily. That's where you'll find the biggest savings. The only downside is that they don't have a dedicated changing room but they offer their single occupancy bathroom as their changing room. Disclaimer, the bathroom/changing room did not smell pleasant. It had a strong sewage stench. Hopefully their bathroom sitch gets fixed with time. At least they offer poo spray in the bathroom. If you have a sensitive nose, you may want to avoid. Another disclaimer - All items are final sale. They give no returns and no store credit is offered. They accept cash and card payments. There is free parking in the public lot to the right of the store. Currently open Tuesday - Sunday but check Yelp or call for their store hours. Happy shopping!

I just moved to a new neighborhood and saw Thrifty Thrift on the map while I was learning what was…read morenewly near me. I love thrifting and buying second hand and was so excited to see a new option close to me. I slipped my plans for Thrifty Thrift in with some other errands on a Sunday. They are open 12-5 on Sundays and it was between 12pm and 1pm that I stopped by. They had a sign out on the sidewalk that said they had parking, but I'm not sure what parking is actually for them. I parked in a lot that was just East of the store (the direction I was traveling). It had snowed in the few days prior to my visit and Thrifty Thrift did not have any of the sidewalk in front of it's store shoveled or salted. I'm not sure if it's not required or they think customers won't appreciate it or maybe I just happened to be by on a day that they didn't have enough staff to get it done, I'm not sure. Inside this store feels very much like a cross between a flea market stand and a small second hand store. It's relatively tight inside with all available space used. Every surface has more items available. There are clothes racks in the back, they are too tight for 2 people to look at the same row at once. This is a place that somehow felt like it had so much and nothing all at once. If you're a thrifter, this is definitely a spot you need to dig through and if you find what you're looking for it was exactly perfect and if you didn't find what you were looking for, then you found nothing. IYKYK. There was one man working at the front, and I was greeted. He was not overbearing and did not speak to me again, and I did not have any questions to ask. I didn't purchase anything on this stop so can't speak to overall price of items. I'm not sure this will be a stop for me regularly, but if you're looking for a particular thrifted good, this could definitely be an option. I do always appreciate a non-corporate option for second hand buying. Thank you, Thrifty Thrift!

I always find a few cute pieces to try on (they have a small fitting room towards the back). I don't luck out with the clothes, I usually find something great among the home goods.

Stopped by on one of my occasional thrifting days. When it comes to vintage shops, unlike monster…read moresized stores like Goodwill, the Salvation Army or Unique, they cater their collection because they don't have the same kind of space. Each vintage shop will have their own preferred style, so a vintage shop may be great but just not the kind of clothing you'd personally care to buy. In my case, Vintage Frills definitely has a style that's up my alley! All the clothing is organized by color, which makes for a pretty store layout. They add their own labels to each item that gives a quick rundown (decade, brand, material and any possible issues)--but, of course, make sure to inspect any piece you'd like to buy! I think it would be a good improvement to add some kind of Velcro strip to the fitting room or a loop to the curtain to have a more secure hold. Definitely a shop I'll head to every so often when the stock refreshes!
