Thrift Stores near Bloomfield, CT

“Was at the store 8/27. Wow the staff here are awesome! Definitely either love their jobs or they put on the “customer service” face, although if that’s the case - I could not tell. I didn’t realize they were closing when I went to the fitting room and came out 10 full minutes after they were technically closed. All I got was, “did you want to head to the register? We’re kinda closed.” In an incredibly happy and kind way. They did not rush me at the register and even signed me up for their perks program - EVEN THOUGH WE WERE A FULL 15 MINUTES AFTER CLOSE! They absolutely did not need to be so gracious. I believe it was the manager that handled most of the conversation, but everyone was beyond nice. Huge props. Store is also well-maintained with a pretty decent selection. Wish I had more time to look at books, but that is 100% on me.”

“Owning NEAT Method a home organizing company, this branch is great. Jonathan is so helpful taking my donations out of my car I drop items off weekly and he is so friendly, I look forward to seeing him when I drop items off knowing it will be quick and easy.”

“This is one of my favorite thrift stores to go to. The layout is very easy to find things. The prices are great. Much less expensive than Goodwill. And they’re giving to a great cause. The turnover is fast so you could go there every week and find something new. The staff are lovely.”

“"If you really want to be my friend I really want to understand you baby If you really want to understand me I'll tell you something, that love can't thrive on jealousy" (Keith Richards / Mick Jagger) I'm glad to say I ran into none of the contradictory price confusion my friend Ana faced during her visit. I lucked out because there was a massive sales promotion today. It's hard to get misled on pricing when a posted sign says everything in the store was just $2. Must have been some sort of merchandise clearance deal or something similar. Anyway, as I walked around the store I noticed things were super neat and organized. The store was crowded, especially their tiny parking lot which was maxed out so we had to park on the mulched lawn on the side of the driveway. I was sifting through the men's section, almost bought two long sleeve white shirts but they were a few sizes too big for me. And that's when my eyes settled on a nice light gray/light green Joseph A. Bank suit. A suit for $2!!!!!! It needs to be altered, but I'm thinking I'll still come out way ahead on the deal. My wife also bought a nice coat for $2. The sales ladies were personable and funny, and I had a great time kibitzing with them. All sales proceeds go to charity, and that's a nice touch.”

“I found the shop to be full of excellent items in every category. The 2 volunteers were exceptionally helpful as I searched for last-minute travel accessories. Prices are reasonable.”

“"I'd pay any price just to get you I'd work all my life and I will To win you I'd stand naked, stoned, and stabbed I'd call that a bargain, the best I ever had" (The Who) When you find out that a thrift store is running a "35% off" sale to mark their 5th anniversary, well any bargain seeking red blooded American would head on over, just like we just did. The store is larger than the one we customarily visit in Simsbury, so I didn't feel cramped walking around alongside a fair number of fellow shoppers. It's very neat and well organized inside and seemed to have a lot of merchandise. I saw the usual dishes, housewares, women's and men's shoes (including some gorgeous Air Jordans), shirts, blouses, outerwear, pants and jeans, plus sportscoats and men's suits ($25 or so). Some of the more unusual things I saw was an impressive collection of "I Love Lucy" memorabilia, and hiding among the audio CD's was a William Hung CD! He made quite a splash on American Idol 20 years ago, and if you're too young to know who he is, go check him out on YouTube. I bought a long sleeve white dress shirt, a red tie, and my wife bought a long sleeve top. After the 35% discount we paid an obscene $16 for everything. Yes, quite the bargain indeed. PRO TIP Parking is a bit of a toss-up, their lot is micro-sized, so you'll probably end up parking on a side street like we did.”

“Typical second hand shopping experience. They might have what you want, or they might not. Very clean store with a friendly staff. Worth stopping in and checking it out ?”

“Great store and friendly staff!
One issue I’ve noticed: the price tags are often punched into the front neck collar of shirts and dresses, which leaves a visible hole after removing the tag. It’s a shame to have unnecessary damage on otherwise great clothing. Please consider attaching tags to seams instead—it would make a big difference!”

“I can always find hidden treasure when I go. The clothes are displayed so I can see them and sort through easily. Clothes are reasonably priced and in good condition, Sometimes I can find brand new items with tags and that's a great day of treasure hunting.”
