Shopping Tips

  • Join the Rags & Wags email list at checkout to receive advance notice of their popular seasonal sales and 'Fill-a-Bag' events.
  • Bring your own reusable shopping bags for a small discount and to support the store's eco-friendly mission.
  • The best high-quality outdoor gear typically arrives in late September through October as seasonal residents upgrade their equipment.
  • Ask about the 'Loyalty Punch Card' – after 10 purchases of $10 or more, you'll receive 30% off your next transaction.
  • Consider becoming a volunteer – helpers receive first look at new donations before they hit the sales floor (perfect for serious thrifters!).
