Good cause but they've burned me one too many times. The ungrateful, unhelpful attitudes are extremely off putting. I'll be donating elsewhere from now on. Plenty of other options.

After grabbing lunch in Waunakee I was in the mood for some thrift shopping. I was surprised to…read moresee that Waunakee had a thrift store and decided to check this place out. It's not on the main drag like you might expect, but just off of it, making it easy to find and park. It has a bit of an odd layout but they have plenty of stuff, and it was all well organized. Great prices, too. The store was clean and the staff was friendly. I will absolutely be coming back whenever I'm in the area.

With some extra time in Madison between my Frank Lloyd Wright tours I figured I would check out…read moresome of the local thrift stores, luckily Agrace Thrift Store was close to my motel. Located in strip of shops I found to be Agrace to be a very nice thrift store with a good selection of upscale items. The selection of clothing is a bit limited, but they were doing work to expand the shop into the store next door. Agrace did have a nice selection of decor and home goods, including some really unique vintage items. I found a nice older Mexican wood carving that was very reasonably priced and had to buy it. Agrace is a very nice thrift store with some really good items for sale, well worth a visit to see if you can find something you like. A bit upscale, but with good prices so check them out.

Habitat for Humanity Restore is this crazy shop. It has so much of all kinds of everything:…read moreconstruction, furniture, electrical related items, etc., etc., that it's almost hard to imagine. This shop is stocked full of so much stuff, it is amazing. If you're looking to furnish your home with vintage chest of drawers, desks, lamps, and a little bit of everything else, this is an incredible place to find it. If you're redoing your home, your office, your studio, or any other place, and you want to add some really truly unique elements to it, this is the place to go. When I say this business has all kinds of unique everything, I am not exaggerating. It's really an adventure to go inside. Because you never know what you will find. It's really fun! The moment you walk in the door of this business you'll be hit with a visual cornucopia of a little bit of everything. They have paintings, artwork, glassware, you name it... I cannot articulate the amount of truly unique stuff they offer, because they really have a lot. Of course, the staff here are always happy to help you out. But, in a lot of ways, you don't even need them, because all you have to do is go and find that unique something, grab it, pay for it, and you're out the door. Overall, this is one of those truly unique businesses that I recommend to anybody who is ever in the area. It's really a very fun viewing and shopping experience.

I found the store without problem, it is in a plaza which also has a food Co-Op. The Goodwill is clean, well organized and pretty much what you expect, plenty of clothing, a nice selection of home goods and decor. I was impressed with the selection of computer related equipment at this store; they had a large selection of computer printers which were in good condition. I had been looking for an Epson printer that uses specific ink refills since I had them on hand. I was lucky enough to find exactly the printer I was looking for and it was priced at $5. When I got the printer home it worked well, just needed to install the software and have the printer clean the printer heads. While not the most recent printer, this was a great buy and made my day. Well worth checking out if you are thrifting, especially if looking for computer related equipment.

Not only does Agrace give back to the community but their volunteers are amazing to work with and speak to in the store!
