I was so sad to leave my favorite thrift store when we moved until I found this one! I donate all my things here because they're so reasonably priced, unlike Goodwill which is just terrible. I wanted a coffee mug and Goodwill wanted almost $5 for a promotional mug someone got for free at one point. Mugs like that are less than $1 at The Thrift Shop as they should be! Trust me, try this place first, even though GW is bigger (barely), it has nothing on The Thrift Shop.
