Thrift Stores in Margate, FL

“A lot of stuff. I went for furniture since I recently moved. I got two end tables, similar to ikea material, that are self build for $5 each. I got a cute lamp also for $5. I got two brand new never used sports bras for $10. I got a floor mat for $7 & change. I got two pictures (one canvas & one glass) for $3 & $5. Parking is a little tight during Saturday mid-day times. Very clean & smells okay. Some of the high end furniture is very reasonably priced. There were brand new box springs in the bags which were a little above budget. There are a lot of items in this store that were clearly brand new from the manufacturer. One example were cute laundry bags near the checkout desk.”

“Unlike some thrift stores which leave you wondering if they really donate to charity, this store is the real deal. Founded in 1974 by community activists, Women in Distress is a non profit that offers counseling, shelter, child care, and a 24 hour crisis hotline. During their 45 years they have helped three thousands of women and children fleeing from domestic violence. They are the only nationally accredited, state certified, full service domestic violence shelter in Broward County. The thrift stores help fund their mission. This store in Margare opened in 1994.

This thrift store is clean and huge. Three large rooms are filled with shoes, clothes, accessories, furniture, books, collectibles, china, children's clothing and toys, and household goods. They have some of everything. Need a Keurig? They have a shelf full. Crutches? They could supply an entire hospital. The prices of items were very reasonable. Coffee mugs are only 10 cents.

I love this charity and this thrift store. It's much nicer than many I have been in and the selection is huge. If you are able to donate they accept items in the rear of the store. Shopping here supports a very worthwhile cause, helping women escape from domestic violence.”

“I donated furniture here today in immaculate condition, rarely used, maintained in a smoke-free, pet-free environment. Upon arrival a gentleman quickly came out and carried the furniture for me. I was skeptical afterwards, but now that I’m reading the reviews, I know my furniture will quickly have a new home!! There was a slight stench in the store. However, my furniture was wrapped in plastic which should protect it from odors.”
