Where are the best thrift stores in the Southern Maryland area?
Has anyone been to Mint Condition Boutique in St. Mary's Square off of Great Mills Road?
I love the Good Wills in Florida. A lot of nice stuff. It's were us old codgers go to die, and to get away from the grown children. So they either donate Mom, and Dad's stuff to Good Will, or they sell it dirt cheap in yard sales. They want to get rid of it, and then get back to their lives in other states.I'm a huge fan of Goodwill - that's where I get most of my clothes. When I'm traveling I make it a point to hit them. Yesterday I got complimented several times on my outfit and everything I had on - my shoes, jeans, sweater and coat - came from the Goodwill in Salem, VA.
They truck in from all over the country instead of just taking local hand-me-downs, so the stock is plentiful and some pretty nice merchandise. A lot of the stuff in local thrift stores is just junk - ratty kids toys, crappy clothes, worn out furniture, tacky knickknacks.
I've gotten lucky at Vintage Values a few times but even that is hit or miss.
SPOT thrift shop in St Leonard. I used to volunteer there and check in, price and help with displays when I had the time. Proceeds to go the free spay and neuter of animals in the area.
Sometimes, people complain their prices are high. I think their prices are reasonable and esp their basement full of clothing is priced well. I bought a brand new designer dress for a wedding w/ original price tag of over $120 for $20. The last time I was there, everything was clean, priced and organized by color and size.
The people that run it are always very appreciative of all donations; both new and used. My store is a regular contributor to their cause
However I will stop in your store tomorrow or the next day and check you out.
