Thrift Stores near Oak Ridge, NJ

“Nick's Hope is truly a gem in Oak Ridge! This store has amazing finds, and the wonderful ladies who volunteer there genuinely love helping customers. Every time I visit, I discover incredible clothing, jewelry, and shoes at unbeatable prices.

I love coming here, it’s such a welcoming and wonderful place. The staff is always friendly, kind, and eager to help. If you're looking for great bargains while supporting a great cause, Nick's Hope is definitely worth a visit!”

“I am a sucker for old buildings and books, so when The Book Barn popped up on my Instagram feed, I knew I had to make the trip.

Walking into a centuries-old barn with books stacked from floor to ceiling feels like stepping into another era. Prices are incredibly reasonable, and if you wander all the way to the back, you’ll discover a clothing shop and a room full of housewares. I found shelves of delicate china and vintage dinnerware at prices that made me do a double take.

My only real complaint is that Saturday mornings are busy. Because everything is donated, this isn’t the place to hunt for the newest bestseller. It’s where you come for the experience, the possibility of stumbling across something unexpected, and the thrill of finding a great deal on a forgotten gem.

I have a feeling this place is going to be even more magical in the fall. I’ll definitely be back.”

“Great little thrift store - The volunteers are very welcoming and friendly! Always a great selection and great prices. Every little nook has a variety of things - well organized. Definitely worth a stop in to get your thrifting on - You will be grateful you did!”

“Great prices and great treasures to find. They get a lot of donations so everything is priced low to keep the items moving. Friendly staff. If you are searching for a thrift store that actually has thrift store prices and not store prices look no further. 1 of my favorite places to stop at, you will not be disappointed!!!”

“I love the ladies here and how confident and comfortable they are in running the business. They stay true to their values and don’t allow outside opinions to change the way they operate. Too often, businesses cave to public pressure, which takes away from their authenticity — but not here. Keep it up, ladies! I always love shopping here.”

“Always good thrift finds here & store is always clean and well organized. Wish your bathroom was accessible to the public though, especially as a customer traveling about an hour to shop! Highly recommend otherwise.”

“FYI: There is a 3 bag/box limit per donation.I want to say that every experience I have here is good but I unfortunately can’t. I still think it’s a decent thrift store and I always buy something from them. I also really like the woman who usually works the front and I have always found the prices to be fair. There are some great deals on houseware, clothing, and Vera Bradley. The store has a 3 bag/box per donation limit that isn’t advertised until you go to the back to donate the items. I do not donate frequently but try to give them quality material when I do. Today I tried to donate 3 bags of clothing and shoes plus an additional small box of housewares (silver plated serving dishes and Pyrex cookware). They accepted the bags of clothing but wouldn’t allow me bring in the housewares box from my car. The woman in the back was rude and aggressive with her delivery of this rule and just unkind. I was taken aback given that I drive out of my way to donate here instead of a Goodwill/Salvation Army - thinking that a small thrift store would appreciate this more. I understand that everyone has an off day but when rules for donation aren’t explicitly advertised, some grace and tact would be useful for when someone unknowingly tries to donate outside the rules.”
