Thrift Stores in Portales, NM

“They have a good selection of clothing but a lot of it is not priced right. I've seen things priced highest to get it than they were when they were purchased brand new. When they have their 50% off sales, that brings their merchandise more in line with what thrift store prices should be. I have been thrifting for years, and I have noticed that prices have gone through the roof since buying second hand has become more popular with the general public. I think a lot of thrift ? owners have forgotten that their original clientele was people who are low income and can't afford to pay for new clothes. Now so many people are trying to find vintage clothing that they can resell for many times what they paid for it, and they have become the target clientele. That shuts a lot of people out who now have nowhere to buy clothing they can afford. I hópe this shop's owners plan to have another 50% off sale between now and Christmas. I will keep shopping here occasionally regardless, but I think it would be in keeping with the Christmas spirit to have another store-wide Christmas sale, or to even extend their Black Friday sale all the way to Christmas. That would be an impressive example of Christian charity.”

“This place I wandered upon by accident one day, don't listen to Google as I don't think it has accurate operating hours. This is a large store with a LOT to see. They have glassware, electronics, even some ancient electronic devices which is fun to see. Of course clothes and toys and furnishings. From what I can tell, the prices are not bad, especially compared to some of the other thrift stores in town. Sadly I have not found anything the couple of times I've gone, although I was tempted by some handmade items. The owner is a lovely anf friendly lady, who is more than happy to help you out if you feel overwhelmed. It is worth a look. And then come back again because I guarantee you didn't see everything!”
