Shopping Tips

  • Visit early in the week, especially Tuesday mornings, when staff has had time to process weekend donations and restock shelves with fresh merchandise
  • Check the store regularly since inventory turns over quickly—that perfect item you saw last week likely won't be there the next
  • Ask staff about discount days or special promotions that The Salvation Army runs periodically throughout the year
  • Bring measurements if you're furniture shopping, as the best pieces tend to sell quickly in Santa Fe's active thrift market
  • Consider combining your shopping trip with a donation drop-off to declutter while you hunt for new treasures
