I've been a regular shopper at this thrift shop since moving here 4 years ago. It reminds me of the…read morethrift shop in NC I used to volunteer at and donate to. It was the same concept whereby all monies benefit the shelter pets. The staff is always friendly and helpful considering the effort taken to keep things organized. The selection stays fresh and is definitely not a "museum". Things are VERY reasonably priced. I love patronizing this shop.

Isle of You is easily considered my favorite clothing and jewelry store in Potsdam, NY. They sell…read moreclothing, shoes, and jewelry, with a small selection of scarves and other accessories. They sell well known brands such as: - Frye - Uggs - Steve Madden - Free People However, be warned that the prices at this place are very high, I'm guessing because there really isn't anywhere else to go for similar items. Most clothing is upwards of $50 and items are rarely on sale. Check out their Facebook page to find out when they have their yearly Ugg sale though!

Everything from clothing to furniture to books to dishes. Prices, as you might expect, are excellent and a real plus to anyone living on a reduced income, but also just a great store to browse in anyway to find something that can find a second life somewhere else.

I find the quality and prices very good AND it's a registered charity; part of the Big Sisters/Brothers organization so proceeds are going to an excellent cause. They now have a small housewares section but don't have room for big items like furniture. I do make sure this place is on my list when I'm on the hunt for something. Ample free parking and close to other shopping on Merivale.

I like that the impacts of donations and purchases stay local. And organizations that help kids always have my support. The clothing at Thrive appears to be geared towards youth and so skews on the younger side, in my opinion. The racks are filled with brands like Old Navy, Garage, and Ardene. Prices are cheaper than places like Value Village. They had some new items like Funko Pops and Squishmallows, while I was there, but I guess these depend on donations, perhaps these were from a business (?) They also had some used video games and controllers. They also have (new) Big Brothers and Big Sisters merchandise. Staff are friendly. I believe that many of them are volunteers. They are located in the Emerald Plaza. Lots of free parking in the plaza.
