Penny Wise Thrift Shop is a consignment store that benefits Thomas Jefferson University Hospital. It offers clothing, accessories, and household goods. The store is well styled and displayed, with everything clean and orderly. Many describe it as a treasure hunt or a true treasure chest, where you never know what you'll find. Some very high end items can be discovered, including high-end men's items and all-leather goods, often at really good price points. Shoppers report finding flawless items for a fraction of their original cost.
The store is roughly half clothing and half accessories and home goods. While the variety in each section can be a bit limited, there is a popular $1 clothing rack. The employees are consistently described as sweet, helpful, and very nice. They keep the store organized without making customers feel monitored. The shop also offers a 10% discount for students and other folks. It is considered a gem where you can often find pieces you love.
This place is definitely a little more upscale than other thrift shops. The prices are still very reasonable and they have some really neat items. That being said I noted a lot of stained clothing items which was disappointing. I did see quite a few brand name items though.

Amazing thrift store. My family always go here and it’s such a sweet store. Lots of amazing and interesting things. Even if i’m not buying anything it’s always nice to go in, and be kindly greeted. I hope it stays here forever.
