I don't know about you, but I love thrift stores and garage sales! I love the thrill of the hunt and there's nothing quite like getting some brand name item for next to nothing! I laugh when I read some of the women's magazines that talk about what a bargain it is to get a jacket for $125 or some jeans for an equally ridiculous amount. Don't get me wrong ~ if that's the wardrobe piece you need and you have NO other options, go for it....but, in my experience, there's a bargain just around the corner if you're willing to wait for it.
I haven't been to Turn Style in a while, but I've gotten some really great professional clothing at some fantastic prices. And when I need to clean out my closet, they will accept my clothing (brand name in great condition only) for consignment...what a way to make your wardrobe (a.k.a. your money) work for you. I got a new suit, tags on, for only $10. Price in the store would have been $150....you just can't beat bargain shopping like that:) The location I visit most often is the one in Roseville at 2393 Fairview Avenue North, St Paul, MN 55113-2707.
If you're on a thrift shop hop, you can also check out Unique Thrift Store in Columbia Heights, MN ~ I got a couple of leather blazers for $3 each. Again...you can't beat bargain shopping like that:)
Of course, you can't talk thrift store shopping without mentioning Saver's (that's for all you die hard Saver's fans out there.) Scuttlebutt has it that the Saver's on Lake Street is a great place to snag some of the latest trends because of it's location to Uptown.
I also stumbled upon Hidden Treasures a while back. They are in the New Brighton area. I love what they're all about.
What are some of your favorite thrift shops/consignment stores in town? Do tell:)
