Shopping Tips

  • Bring cash for the best deals, as some special discounts may be offered for cash transactions.
  • Check their donation drop-off policy before bringing items, as they may have specific days and guidelines for accepting new merchandise.
  • Ask staff about their rotation schedule; knowing when new items hit the floor can give you first pick of fresh inventory.
  • Look for the color-coded tag system which often indicates different discount levels or how long items have been on display.
  • Don't be afraid to negotiate on higher-priced items, especially furniture or collectibles that have been in the store for a while.
