Shopping Tips

  • Visit on weekday mornings when new donations are typically processed and put on the floor for the freshest selection.
  • Don't hesitate to ask staff about upcoming sales or if they have specific items in the back that haven't been displayed yet.
  • Bring cash for the best deals, as some small discounts might be offered for cash payments.
  • If you're searching for larger furniture pieces, take measurements before visiting as items sell quickly and space is limited in this cozy shop.
  • Join their local community of regulars by asking if they keep a wishlist for sought-after items – the staff often calls repeat customers when requested items arrive.
